How to hack Wifi passwords using Wifiphisher

How to hack Wifi passwords quickly? Many WEP, WPA2, and WPS crackers take too much time and not all access points have WPS enabled. This article will show you a solution to get Wifi password without crack, it is Wifiphisher.

Wififisher creates a fake AP, then removes authentication or DoS users from the real AP. When confirming the fake AP with the same SSID, they will see a legitimate website searching for a password due to "firmware upgrade". When the user provides the password, you retrieve it and then allow them to use the evil twin as his AP without doubt.

In short, Wififisher does the following:

1. Quit authenticating users from their legitimate AP.
2. Allow users to authenticate with evil twin.
3. Providing the site to users on a proxy informs them that "software upgrade" is required and requires re-authentication.
4. Wifi passwords are transmitted to hackers and users continue to access the web without knowing what happened.

To do this, you need a Kali Linux distribution and two wireless adapters, one of which must have packet injection capability.
