Wireless Network Hacking Tools For Windows Free Download

 

There are a lot of free tools available online to get easy access to WiFi networks, intended to help the network admins and the programmers working on the WiFi systems. Most of the times people prefer to use wireless network LAN which is much easier and cost effective.

It has been observed that the neighborhood WiFi hot-spots are visible on user’s devices, however one can get access only by cracking the password for the purpose of using free internet.

Vulnerability in wireless LAN is due primarily to poor configuration and poor encryption. Poor configuration includes the case of weak password. Poor encryption is dangerous, as it is related to the 2 security protocols WEP and WPA.

  1. Leading source of security tools, hacking tools, cybersecurity and network security. Learn about new tools and updates in one place.
  2. Wifiphisher is a WiFi hacking tool that can execute speedy automated phishing attacks against Wireless/WiFi networks with the intention of discovering user and password credentials The difference with this wireless tool (compared with the others) is that it launches a Social Engineering attack which is a completely different attack vector to take when attempting to breach WiFi.

The tools used to hack the network are used either for:

  • the purpose of sniffing the network: as is the case of network admins and
  • cracking the password: used to rectify trouble shooting, by the people who want to use the internet free of cost.

This wifi hacking tool uses brute force attack to crack wifi passwords for WPA/WPA2 wireless networks. Even though the source code for this amazing wireless pentesting tools was hosted on Google, here is a great Reaver usage documentation that shows how to use it.

So, here are the the tools for cracking wireless passwords.

The best free Wireless hacking passwords

Most of these tools are free; some of them are for protocol analyzers to monitor the trouble shooting whereas others are for cracking the passwords for unauthorized internet access.

For network admins and professional programmers, these tools should be more helpful for understanding the cracking of passwords and hence helping them professionally. Such tools are also used by cyber criminals and terrorists to get easy access for free usage of internet anonymously.
