Ch 9: Managing Docker containers in Linux

1. Start and login to your Kali Linux virtual machine as user kali with a password of kali.

2. View the current dictionary file that will used to crack WPA2 passphrases by typing sudo
cat /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt. Press CTRL+C until the display of the file contents is
interrupted and stops.

3. Change to the current user home directory by typing cd and pressing ENTER.

4. Type ls and notice the wpa-06.cap capture file. This file capture was captured on a WiFi
network and contains the authentication traffic used by a valid client initially connecting to the
WPA2 preshared key (PSK) network. Attackers will normally force existing clients to disconnect
from the WiFi network thus forcing them to reconnect. This technique is called
deauthentication.

5. Begin the attack by typing sudo aircrack-ng wpa-06.cap -w


/usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt. After a few moments press CTRL+C to stop the attack (no
passphrase is found).

6. You will now add a passphrase to the dictionary file used in the attack. Type sudo nano
/usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt. At the top of the file type in (or copy from here)
2W4335102288; this is the actual WiFi passphrase; attackers normally use multiple dictionaries
containing tens of millions of potential passphrases. Press CTRL+X, Y and press ENTER to
save the change to the file.

7. Run the attack again by typing sudo aircrack-ng wpa-06.cap -w


/usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt. This time notice the WPA2 passphrase is shown next to the
text “KEY FOUND”. Bear in mind that this is an offline attack; intruder detection settings on the
WiFi access point/router will not pick up on this attack.
