Hacking WPA/WPA2 (WPS Enabled) WiFi using Android [bcmon supported devices]

Download and install the bcmon app.

Run bcmon. It may crash at first but keep trying. If it still crashes after 3-4 attempts the
device may not be supported.
 Install the firmware and tools, as prompted. Click on enable monitor mode.
Download and install Reaver and run it.

Reaver will scan for the available access point. Remember it can hack only WPS enabled
WiFi. Make sure Monitor Mode is turned on. Make sure that the Automatic advanced

Hacking WEP type WiFi Using Android Phone
WEP is an outdated, weak protweak protocolto secure WiFi and it is no more preferred because it
can be hacked within seconds. However due to lack of awareness it is still used across the world.
Below instructions explain how you can use you android device to hack a WEP protected WiFi
network.

Procedure
bcmon app is used here also. So download and install it as told above
Tap Run bcmon terminal. This will launch a terminal similar to most Linux terminals.
Type airodump-ng and tap the Enter button. In the newly opened window
type airodump-ng wlan0 and tap the Enter button.
 Open reaver and note down the WiFi (Access point) name, Mac Address and the
broadcasting channel of the WiFi which you want to hack. Make sure it is WEP.
Now we can start scanning the target WiFi and collect packets. Type the following

airodump-ng -c channel# bssid MAC address -w outputfile ath0

Note: channel# = broadcasting channel, MAC address = Mac Address of the

router which you already noted down. -w is for specifying the output file name. I have
given outputfile in the example. So the complete command look similar to this.

airodump-ng -c 9 bssid 00:14:6C:7E:40:80 -w outputfile ath0

Continue scanning untill it collects 20,000-30,000 packets.

Once enough packets are collected return to the terminal and type aircrack-ng
outputfile*.cap and tap Enter. Aircrack program will attempt to crack the WiFi
password from the extracted packets.
 It might take hours to crack. Finally a message Key Found! will appear, followed by the
key in hexadecimal form. Key will work only if Probability is 100%.

Remove : from the key. i.e if it is 19:04:56:77:94, the key would be 1904567794
