In this tutorial we will show you how to hack a TP link WR841N
router wireless network with the default wifi password using Kali Linux.
TP Link routers use the default WPS PIN as wifi password out of the box
Which consists of 8 characters. We will try the following techniques to
hack a TP link WR841N router wireless network:
1. First we try to get the password using Reaver 1.5.2 with Pixiedust WPS and the Aircrack-ng suite.
2. Than we try to get the WPS PIN using Reaver.
3. The last method is capturing a 4-way handshake using Airodump-ng,
generate a default password list with Crunch and bruteforce it with
oclHashcat.
1. Pixie Dust WPS Attack with Reaver
Let’s put the wifi interface in monitoring mode using:
airmon-ng start wlan0
For anyone getting the following error in Kali Linux 2.0 Sana:
[X] ERROR: Failed to open ‘wlan0mon’ for capturing
try this as a solution:
1. Put the device in Monitor mode Airmon-ng start wlan0
2. A monitoring interface will be started on wlan0mon
3. Use iwconfig to check if the interface MODE is in managed mode, if so
then change it to monitor instead of managed with the following
commands:
ifconfig wlan0mon down
iwconfig wlan0mon mode monitor
ifconfig wlan0mon up
4. iwconfig check if the mode is monitoring mode now
5. airodump-ng wlan0mon
If necessary kill the processes Kali is complaining about:
