"Hacking Wi-Fi Password Using Ubuntu Linux - I know a lot of you
out there would love to know how to hack or crack Wi-Fi passwords
from coffee shops or just about any place with managed or secured
network.
"I've already featured several hacking software (and more
hacking tools) before, and some of which can help you crack Wi-Fi
passwords be it WEP or WPA protected. This time, I'm going to share
with you some of my favorite wireless tools that can be used to
hack Wi-Fi password using Ubuntu or any other Linux
distribution:
"Aircrack-ng
Aircrack-ng (a fork of aircrack) is my main tool for cracking Wi-Fi
passwords. It has a wireless network detector, a packet sniffer,
WEP and WPA/WPA2-PSK cracker, and an analysis tool for 802.11
wireless LANs. Aircrack-ng works with any wireless card whose
driver supports raw monitoring mode and can sniff 802.11a, 802.11b
and 802.11g traffic."
