Windows Wi-Fi Hacking Tools. We will focus on the most important Wi-Fi hacking tools that can run efficiently on Windows
In the world of computers and systems, each system has certain uses and a purpose for which it was found, but Microsoft changed this rule when it launched the Windows system, so it became a system dedicated to everything and anything: office work, programming, design, playing games…, but it is still So far, it is not the system that hackers and penetration testers rely on to fully perform penetration testing.
But this does not completely exclude the Microsoft system, as we previously presented a set of hacking software for the Windows system, and this article will not be much different, but this time we will devote talking about the most prominent Wi-Fi hacking tools that can be run efficiently on the Windows system.
Wirecut tool
The Waircut program is one of the most popular programs used in the Windows system designed to easily test the penetration of Wi-Fi networks. The program includes the famous Pixiewps program, and it can be considered that the program is the embodiment of the interface of this program because it is a non-graphic command-line program. The Waircut program can extract the passwords of Wi-Fi networks affected by the WPS vulnerability, so that the program can extract the Pin and directly extract the Wi-Fi password. The software is freely available for Windows.
CoWPAtty
CoWPAtty is a program that allows you to detect the penetration of Wi-Fi networks with WPA encryption by performing a set of operations such as the Bruteforce process using Dictionary. There are other features of the tool that help you study the network more and collect information about it as well. The tool is originally available for Linux, but there is a version on Windows that performs the same function. You can use it to conduct penetration tests on the networks you want.
inSSIDer tool
It is not an actual hacking tool, but this tool is able to scan your private network and provide you with various information about it and the best settings for your network in order to get a better connection. The tool can also detect hidden networks in your area, if you want to see some hidden networks that do not appear to you in general. Normal, this tool may help you with that. The tool is available for free on Windows as well as Mac Os.
KISMET tool
It is a famous tool in the Linux system, especially in Kali Linux and Wifislax, which specializes in testing penetration of Wi-Fi networks. We are happy to tell you that the software is also available on Windows using the WSL engine (there is a full explanation of how to install it on Windows, and it is easy, do not worry). The software provides you with a complete tool in your hands to detect Wi-Fi networks, collect information about them, and launch different penetration testing processes depending on the type of network.
Airjack tool
Another hacking tool for Wi-Fi penetration testing, originally available on Linux and now available on Windows as well. The tool spies on Wi-Fi networks, and controls the packets sent between the user and the network. One of its most prominent and powerful features is the De-Authentication process that the tool performs, which literally expels all callers from the network and prevents them from connecting from it.
Aircrack-ng tool
One of the most powerful tools ever for hacking Wi-Fi networks. It is a collection of Wi-Fi hacking tools that integrate with each other in order to test network penetration. It captures, analyzes, penetrates, decrypts, receives packets, and much more. The tool is not graphic, works almost the same way it works on Linux and you will need to watch some videos in order to learn the command line for testing with Aircrack-ng.
Airsnort tool
It is a tool that you may not need much in the process of hacking Wi-Fi networks. In fact, it is a tool that specializes in hacking Wi-Fi networks with WEP encryption, which is an encryption that is no longer used by most users, and most routers in their normal situation come with WPA/WPA2 encryption. However, if you come across a network with WEP encryption and you do not find any tool on Windows to detect the penetration of that network, do not hesitate to try the Airsnort tool.
Wireshark tool
It is not a tool specialized in hacking Wi-Fi networks directly, but it is a tool that allows you to spy and view the packets (encrypted information that is sent and received in a specific network). If you run the Wireshark tool while you are connected to a specific network, you can scan the network and extract the connected ones Then, choose one of the IP’s visible to you and view all the data that it sends and receives. Of course, the data will be encrypted, and here your skill in the field of encryption also interferes. Wireshark is one of the most dangerous hacking tools out there.
