WPA2 dictionary attack using Hashcat Open cmd and direct it to Hashcat directory, copy.hccapx file. Jun 04, 2014 WiFi (Wireless) Password Security - WEP, WPA, WPA2, WPA3, WPS Explained - Duration. 5 Fixes WiFi Not Working on MacOS Catalina or Earlier on Mac, MacBook Pro:Air - Duration: 5:40. Aug 15, 2017 Hey thanks for reply, bottom of router had a sticker but it only had on it the wireless key which worked originally, a admin password, a serial number and a number and letters combo which starts MAC, I have entered all these to no avail, Really strange as both mine and my wife's I phones are still connecting to wi if no problem it's just the IMac we are having issues with. Steps to Hack WPA/WPA2 WiFi Password. To crack WPS pin and hack WPA/WPA2 WLAN password, hackers use Kali Linux setup. It could be on VirtualBox or an actual laptop or PC with WiFi. If your PC doesn’t have WiFi, get a compatible WIFi dongle. You may also buy single board computer such as Raspberry Pi 3 or Raspberry Pi 4. Nov 28, 2015 We have just updated a better solution to crack WiFi password (WPA and WPA2) by using Linset. Linset will make all clients be disconnected to the targeted WiFi network first, then motivate them to connect to a protected fake WiFi Network in exactly the same name as the targeted one. The software will record the Entered password by clients.
This page will help you to retrieve/extract the hash associated to an OSX account. We tried to enumerate all the OS X flavors available, but this article is still 'in beta' depending on the new OS X versions.
Once the hash is extracted, you can send it here and we will try to recover it.
The same as in 10.2 (Jaguar). See below.
OS X 10.1 (Puma)
The same as in 10.2 (Jaguar). See below.
Dump the hash :
This hash is created using the Unix DES Crypt(3) function, where the password is first truncated to 8 characters.
OS X 10.3 (Panther)
First find out a users' GUID:
Next take that GUID and dump the hash file
The first 64 characters are the NTLM hash (first 32 NT, next 32 LM) and the last 40 characters are the SHA1 hash.
You can obtain the GUID just as in 10.3 (Panther). See above.
After obtaining the GUID, you can dump the passwords just as in 10.5 (Leopard). See below.
OS X 10.5 (Leopard) + OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
First find a users' GUID:
After getting the GUID you can dump various hashes. By default the only hash stored is the salted SHA1. If the user has turned on SMB file sharing then the NTLM hash will also be stored.
If you upgraded from 10.3->10.4->10.5 then the zero salted SHA1 is also stored.
Salted SHA1 (first 8 characters are the salt)
Zero-Salted SHA1 (first 8 characters are the salt and will always be all zeros)
NTLM (first 32 characters are NT, next 32 are LM)
Use this tutorial
OS X 10.8 (Mountain) & 10.9 (Mavericks) & 10.10 (Yosemite)
The shadow files are stored on the filesystem at /var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/users/%user%.plist.
They are in plist format so you'll need to use the plutil command to view them or use the defaults command to extract/write specific keys if desired.
Only the root user has access to the files.
To view the contents of a shadow file for a user: To get the hash: Where %username% in the above example is the user you're looking for the hash for.
Finally the wanted hash starts with '$ml$' and length is 203 characters.

Tool to automate these steps
Davegrohl tool created in early 2011 is a password hash extractor & companion tool to John the Ripper.
Sadly the development of this tool has been stopped (but could be forked..), the current status is :
Dave compiles fine on Yosemite and will happily (but very slowly) crack user passwords. Out of the box, OS X uses PBKDF2 to encrypt its user passwords which is very slow to crack for one machine. Turning on Windows (SMB) file sharing will disable this feature.
Yesterday, my friend Victor wanted to crack a wifi network (his, of course) using his MacBook Pro.
I told him to use the excellent VirtualBox images of Kali Linux from Offensive Security and aircrack-ng.
I had just forgotten that:
- Using advanced wireless features is impossible from a virtual machine
- Even if he used Kali Linux with a dual boot, installing the wireless drivers to make it work with the airport card is tiresome.
- Most (not
airmon-ng
) aircrack-ng tools can be installed on macOS with MacPorts, butairodump-ng
andaireplay-ng
crash.
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.
There is a list on the website of aircrack-ng
, and I think the Alfa AWUS051NH v2 is great.Some people say it is expensive, but last time I checked on Google Shopping, it cost less than half an Apple mouse.
There are 3 steps:
- Identify the target acces point: name (= BSSID), MAC address (= SSID) and channel (~ radio frequency)
- Sniff the channel in monitor mode to retrieve:
- a beacon (easy)
- a handshake (= four-way handshake), or some frames of it (hard)
- Crack the password using the dump
What makes the retrieval of the handshake hard is that it appears only when somebody connects to the access point.
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.When they reconnect, they re-send the handshake. That adds a Deauth step.
“Install”
Scan
It saves the .cap
capture file and displays the path.
If you don’t have the beacon or the handshake, it will fail accordingly.
For wordlists, see below.
As I said, aireplay-ng
doesn’t work on a MacBook Pro.The catch is that aireplay-ng
can do a lot of other things besides deauth attacks.
You might read that airport cards do not support packet injection, but packet injections are for WEP attacks and nobody uses WEP anymore. We only want to send some deauthentification frames.
Use JamWiFi. A ready-to-use application is provided there.
In fact, you can indentify the target with it too, and it has a really nice GUI.
Once you have selected the access point, you can deauth one or multiple users. Stop after about 50 “Deauths”, or else the persons might have trouble to reconnect during several minutes.
It might not work it you are too far from the target as your airport card is far less powerful than the router.
Using airport
presents some issues. You cannot know if you got the beacon and the handshake until you stop the capture and try with aircrack-ng
.
You capture a lot of unuseful packets too.
Using tcpdump
is more efficient.
When you launch those lines, the first tcpdump
easily captures a beacon and the second waits for the handshake.
Use JamWiFi to deauth some users, and when tcpdump
shows you it got 4 frames or more, Ctrl-C. It appears you can use less that 4 frames, but it depends on the frames you got (for instance 1,2 or 2,3 are sufficient). Anyway you should normally get at least 4. If nothing shows, try to deauth another user.
Now you have everything in capture.cap
. You can also run aircrack-ng
on it.
Wpa Password Generator
Like aireplay-ng
, aircrack-ng
offers so many features that it cannot be the best in everything.
We can really speed up the process by using hashcat.
Install with brew
Convert with cap2hccapx
hashcat
doesn’t take cap files, only hccapx files.
Just install hashcat-utils and use cap2hccapx
Alternatively, use this online tool.
Crack
This page provides some examples.
To use with a dictionnary:
You have a lot of other options, like brute force:
Refer to the documentation fot more patterns.
Speed
hashcat
works on the GPU.
On my MacBook Pro, it yields a performance of 5kH/s: it tests 5000 passwords in a second.
On a Tesla K20m, the speed is 75kH/s. I managed to crack the 5 last lowercase letters of a wifi password in about 1 minute (26**5 // 75000 = 158 seconds to test them all).
We can see here that a GTX 1080 breaks 400kH/s.
I recommend:
For more efficiency, target the networks with silly names (good examples are “mozart”, “I love cats”, “Harry and Sally”), and avoid the ones called “National Security Agency”, “sysadmin” and “sup3r h4x0r”.
To find a password, you have to be lucky and have a good idea of its shape.
A lot of default wifi passwords are composed of 8 or 10 hexadecimal digits.
Macos Wpa Password Hack Free
In average (worst case divided by 2) and according to the above benchmark, with a GTX 1080:
- 8 hexadecimal characters take 90 minutes.
- 10 hexadecimal characters take 16 days.
- 12 hexadecimal characters take 11 years.

If you only want free wifi, just do MAC spoofing on a hotspot that uses web login.
