The catch is that aireplay-ng can do a lot of other things besides deauth attacks. If you don’t have the beacon or the handshake, it will fail accordingly.Īs I said, aireplay-ng doesn’t work on a MacBook Pro. Identify the target - with airport “Install”Īircrack-ng -w wordlist.txt -b $TARGET_MAC_ADDRESS airportSniff.cap When they reconnect, they re-send the handshake. The good news is that you can deauthentificate people from the wifi network - it’s called wifi jamming and it’s useful to impress a girl and piss off people at Starbucks. What makes the retrieval of the handshake hard is that it appears only when somebody connects to the access point.

Sniff the channel in monitor mode to retrieve:.Identify the target acces point: name (= BSSID), MAC address (= SSID) and channel (~ radio frequency).Some people say it is expensive, but last time I checked on Google Shopping, it cost less than half an Apple mouse. There is a list on the website of aircrack-ng, and I think the Alfa AWUS051NH v2 is great. So PLEASE, if you want to do other advanced networking things than network sniffing or what is described in this article, do yourself a favour and buy an USB adapter to use with the virtual machine.

#Macbook wifi password show drivers
Even if he used Kali Linux with a dual boot, installing the wireless drivers to make it work with the airport card is tiresome.Using advanced wireless features is impossible from a virtual machine.I told him to use the excellent VirtualBox images of Kali Linux from Offensive Security and aircrack-ng. Yesterday, my friend Victor wanted to crack a wifi network (his, of course) using his MacBook Pro.
