Install Backtrack 5 R3 Find your wireless card: Inside Terminal, type: Iwconfig You should see a wireless device name: wlan0 1) Put your wireless card into monitor mode: airmon-ng start wlan0 This command will output the name of monitor mode interface, which youll also want to make note of.

Youll see a list of the wireless networks in range When you see the network you want, press Ctrl+C to stop the list from refreshing, then copy that networks BSSID (its the series of letters, numbers, and colons on the far left). The network should have WPA or WPA2 listed under the ENC column. 3) Crack a Networks WPA Password with Reaver reaver -i moninterface -b bssid –vv Example: reaver -i mon0 -b 8D:AE:9D:65:1F:B2 -vv Press Enter, sit back, and let Reaver work its disturbing magic. Reaver will now try a series of PINs on the router in a brute force attack, one after another. This will take a while. In my successful test, Reaver took 2 hours and 30 minutes to crack the network and deliver me with the correct password. As mentioned above, the Reaver documentation says it can take between 4 and 10 hours, so it could take more or less time than I experienced, depending. When Reavers cracking has completed, itll look like this:
