Using default passwords and default admin names ( depending upon the router provider) and using default passwords for wifi access that are provided are a lot by attackers ( because people are lazy and hardly feel like changing anything).Įven if you did not get it wait for my upcoming videos on Wifi hacking and its security ( i will clear there many concepts related to WIFI ) : Hacks and Security In fact even if its not WPS enabled you can go for many attacks say evil twin or say gathering handshake info and trying to get access from it etc. It shows the lacking of randomness of WPS pins that is being used.
#Hack wps wifi password crack#
Some apps like wpa wps tester try some defaults PINs and they crack too fast i mean in minutes or sometimes seconds ( not all wifi obviously but still have high success rate). In fact you can go for other methods like evil twin or others ( you won’t even need them there). You can crack it in few hours using bruteforce. 1 hour has 3600 seconds so 1 try per second means 3600 tries per hour. So total possibilites of the PIN are 10^4 + 10^3 = 11000 possibilites. Now the total possibilites for first four digits is 10^4 and for next 3 digits is 10^3 ( as 8th one will be calculated by 7 digits).
So if you find first 7 digits you can simple find the 8th digit. The 8th digit is actually a checksum value of the first 7 digits. I mean first half ( first 4 digits) and second half ( last 4 digits) are checked independently. But wait the problem is the pin is actually checked in two steps. Anyways now you would be thinking it should be pretty hard because even if i cosider one attack per second it should take lot of time. So total possible outcomes of this pin are 10^8 ( actually 9999999 to be precise). Well regarding the practical part or in depth working of it you can raise another question on it, let me here remove your doubt. First of all you should be close enough to the WIFI to catch the data packets. 1 try per second i m considering for a good laptop. Well if u attack the PIN its like 1 try per second to 1 try per 10 seconds. Now you would be thinking the cracking should be a bit hard. If you have the pin you are authenticated to connect to the network.

In WPS enabled wifi network we don’t need to bruteforce the password rather we bruteforce the WPS pin.
