In this hacking tutorial we are going to use a new vulnerability in WPA and WPA 2 (PSK/TKIP)Wireless passwords, this weak point is to attack WPS, Which is Wireless Protected Setup. This type of setup is built in 90% of routers to allow easy establishment of secure home wireless by the user, though it has been shown to fall to BruteForce Attacks. This BruteForce attack will try all combinations of Router’s PIN number (Provided by WPS) and access the router to reveal the password. This type of hack have many benefits such as, You can always have the Wireless Password even if It’s changed by knowing the PIN number.
Sep 01, 2017 Fern Wifi Cracker is a Wireless security auditing and attack software program written using the Python Programming Language and the Python Qt GUI library, the program is able to crack and recover WEP/WPA/WPS keys and also run other network based attacks on wireless or ethernet based networks.
Steps To Hack WPA/WPA2 Passwords using Ubuntu (Reaver)
Follow these simple steps.
Step 1 (Setting up Reaver 1.4 )
1) Open terminal and type
and then type your password.
2) Download Reaver (Better Download the Latest Version ) Place in a specified folder.
3) Open the Terminal and type
4) Install dependencies
then
Note: libpcap and libsqlite3 maybe included in your Ubuntu version but they are very important.
5) Enter the folder by typing
6) Type
7) Type
8) Type
Note: To test if Reaver have been successfully installed, Open a Terminal and Type ‘reaver’ and hit enter, it should list all Reaver’s sub commands.
Step 2 ( Hacking WPA/WPA2 Wireless)
After installing reaver 1.4, it’s time to proceed to the main part which is hacking wireless passwords that uses WPA/WPA2 Encryption.
Requirements:
Install aircrack-ng by typing
Requirements:
Install aircrack-ng by typing
Airodump-ng / Airmon-ng commands
Reaver 1.4 (Install in Step 1)
1) We need to have the wireless BSSID (Mac address) so we use airodump-ng. Open a terminal and Type :
Type
It will lists the available wireless passwords, now copy the BSSID of the Access Point ( e.g : 00:11:28:32:49:55 )
2) Starting the attack type:
2) Starting the attack type:
Now it will start testing bruteforcing the PIN number of the vulnerability WPS (which we have spoke about it), and it will show you the WPA/WPA2 Password in the end of the Crack.
Note: You can use walsh -i mon0 to scan for vulnerable Access Points.

I installed Fern (with all its dependencies) with the following command on the terminal:
And I used this to launch it in a terminal:
Now I want to completely uninstall it.
I have already remove it from the Ubuntu Software Center (along with the
aircracker-ng
) and I have already use the below commands in the terminal:... But I still have this folder I cannot delete:
How do I completely uninstall Fern Wifi Cracker?
