Crack WPA/WPA2 WiFi Passwords Online: Capture Upload

The short answer

To recover a WPA/WPA2 password you only need a handshake capture, a .cap or .pcap file. Upload it and OHC does the cracking.
Wifite automates the capture, but understanding the process matters more than copy-pasting commands.
The passphrase is tested offline against the capture, so its strength decides the result.
Use this only on networks you own or are explicitly authorized to test.

Wifite is a python script which automates the WEP and WPA dumping and cracking process.

What you need :

- A Linux OS (such as Kali, Pentoo, BackBox,..)
- Aircrack-ng suite
- Python 2.7.x
- Obviously a wifi card with up-to-date linux driver

How to use ?

Download Wifite2 here. Just type ./wifite2.py and it automatically puts a wireless interface into monitor mode and starts scanning for the nearby wireless networks.

wget https://raw.github.com/derv82/wifite/master/wifite.py
chmod +x wifite.py
./wifite.py

I want to understand what I do!

Great. Instead of copy/paste one's work, please read this tutorial. Also you will find several good tutorials on how getting WPA handshakes with your friend Google.

I'm done, I have a WPA capture file

Congratulations. You should have a *.cap or *.pcap file. The only thing to do to crack it (recover the password) is to upload your WPA capture here . We will crack it for you.

Already have a capture file?Upload the .cap or .pcap file and OHC converts it and runs the attack on cloud GPUs. You can also convert it to a hash first.

WPA/WPA2 password recovery: frequently asked questions

What file do I need to recover a WPA/WPA2 password?

A capture file containing the WPA handshake, usually a .cap or .pcap file. Upload it to OnlineHashCrack and the password is tested against it on GPUs.

Which hashcat mode is used for WPA/WPA2?

Mode 22000, which covers both handshake (EAPOL) and PMKID captures. OHC converts a capture to that format for you.

Can I convert a capture to a hash myself?

Yes. The cap to hash converter on this site turns a capture file into a hash you can submit or use in Hashcat.

Can I use this on any WiFi network?

No. Only test networks you own or have explicit permission to audit. Testing someone else's network without authorization is illegal in most countries.

What decides whether the password is recovered?

The strength of the passphrase. A word, a name or a common pattern is found quickly, while a long random passphrase is very unlikely to be recovered.
