How to Hack Wi Fi Using Android

How to Hack Wi Fi Using Android
Post By Asad Ullah

Do you want to test your network security? It used to be that you needed a desktop OS such as Windows or Linux installed on a computer with a specific wireless network card. Now, however, you can also use certain Android devices to scan and crack wireless networks. These tools are available for free as long as your device is compatible. Hacking routers without permission is illegal. These steps are provided to test the security of your own network.

Method 1 of 2: WPA2 WPS Routers

1. 
   1
   Root a compatible device. Not every Android phone or tablet will be able to crack a WPS PIN. The device must have a Broadcom bcm4329 or bcm4330 wireless chipset, and must be rooted. The Cyanogen ROM will provide the best chance of success. Some of the known supported devices include:

   • Nexus 7
   • Galaxy Ace/S1/S2/S3
   • Nexus One
   • Desire HD
2. 
   2
   Download and install bcmon. This tool enables Monitor Mode on your Broadcom chipset, which is essential for being able to crack the PIN. The bcmon APK file is available for free from the bcmon page on the Google Code website.

   • To install an APK file, you will need to allow installation from unknown sources in your Security menu. Step 2 of this article goes into more detail.
3. 
   3
   Run bcmon. After installing the APK file, run the app. If prompted, install the firmware and tools. Tap the "Enable Monitor Mode" option. If the app crashes, open it and try again. If it fails for a third time, your device is most likely not supported.

   • Your device must be rooted in order to run bcmon.
4. 
   4
   Download and install Reaver. Reaver is a program developed to crack the WPS PIN in order to retrieve the WPA2 passphrase. The Reaver APK can be downloaded from the developers' thread on the XDA-developers forums.
5. 
   5
   Launch Reaver. Tap the Reaver for Android icon in your App drawer. After confirming that you are not using it for illegal purposes, Reaver will scan for available access points. Tap the access point you want to crack to continue.

   • You may need to verify Monitor Mode before proceeding. If this is the case, bcmon will open again.
   • The access point you select must accept WPS authentication. Not all routers support this.
6. 
   6
   Verify your settings. In most cases you can leave the settings that appear at their default. Make sure that the "Automatic advanced settings" box is checked.
7. 
   7
   Start the cracking process. Tap the "Start attack" button at the bottom of the Reaver Settings menu. The monitor will open and you will see the results of the ongoing crack displayed.

   • Cracking WPS can take anywhere from 2-10+ hours to complete, and it is not always successful.^[1]

Method 2 of 2: WEP Routers

1. 
   1
   Root a compatible device. Not every Android phone or tablet will be able to crack a WPS PIN. The device must have a Broadcom bcm4329 or bcm4330 wireless chipset, and must be rooted. The Cyanogen ROM will provide the best chance of success. Some of the known supported devices include:

   • Nexus 7
   • Galaxy S1/S2/S3/S4/S5
   • Galaxy y
   • Nexus One
   • Desire HD
   • Micromax A67
2. 
   2
   Download and install bcmon. This tool enables Monitor Mode on your Broadcom chipset, which is essential for being able to crack the PIN. The bcmon APK file is available for free from the bcmon page on the Google Code website.

   • To install an APK file, you will need to allow installation from unknown sources in your Security menu. Step 2 of this article goes into more detail.
3. 
   3
   Run bcmon. After installing the APK file, run the app. If prompted, install the firmware and tools. Tap the "Enable Monitor Mode" option. If the app crashes, open it and try again. If it fails for a third time, your device is most likely not supported.

   • Your device must be rooted in order to run bcmon.
4. 4
   Tap "Run bcmon terminal". This will launch a terminal similar to most Linux terminals.Type airodump-ng and tap the Enter button. AIrdump will load, and you will be taken to the command prompt again. Type airodump-ng wlan0 and tap the Enter button.
5. 5
   Identify the access point you want to crack. You will see a list of available access points. You must select am access point that is using WEP encryption.
6. 6
   Note the MAC address that appears. This is the MAC address for the router. Make sure that you have the right one if there are multiple routers listed. Jot this MAC address down.

   • Also note the Channel that the access point is broadcasting on.
7. 7
   Start scanning the channel. You will need to collect information from the access point for several hours before you can attempt to crack the password. Typeairodump-ng -c channel# --bssid MAC address -w output ath0and tap Enter. Airodump will begin scanning. You can leave the device for a while as it scans for information. Be sure to plug it in if you are running low on battery.

   • Replace channel# with the channel number the access point is broadcasting on (e.g. 6).
   • Replace MAC address with the MAC address of the router (e.g 00:0a:95:9d:68:16)
   • Keep scanning until you reach at least 20,000-30,000 packets.
8. 8
   Crack the password. Once you have a suitable number of packets, you can start attempting to crack the password . Return to the terminal and type aircrack-ng output*.cap and tap Enter.
9. 9
   Note the hexadecimal password when finished. After the cracking process is complete (which could take several hours), the message KEY FOUND! will appear, followed by the key in hexadecimal form. Make sure that "Probability" is 100% or the key will not work.^[2]

   • When you enter the key, enter it without the ":". For example, if the key was 12:34:56:78:90, you would enter 1234567890.

Run Linux on Android

Run Linux on Android

If you can’t wait for the launch of the official Ubuntu smartphones (the first models are supposedly due later this year), don’t want to shell out for a new phone anyhow, or would prefer to use a different version of Linux on a portable device, there is an alternative. It’s possible to run a variety of popular Linux distros on a standard Android smartphone or tablet – everything from a simple BusyBox toolset right up to a full distribution with a desktop environment. You don’t even need to root your phone for some of the methods that we explore in this feature.

The advantages of running Linux on an Android device are manifold. As well as being able to SSH into other computers, you’ll have access to all your favourite Linux tools and you can also run a desktop GUI with most methods. The possibilities are endless. You could potentially even turn your Android device into a LAMP server to run web apps! So, if you’ve got an ageing Android phone or tablet kicking around, why not give it a try?

No rooting required

As mentioned, some solutions for running Linux on an Android phone don’t even require you to root the device to circumvent Android’s security features and gain superuser privileges – although we’ll take a look at that process later. The first and simplest of these is Kevin Boone’s KBOX2 project (see the section towards the end of this post), a port of BusyBox packaged with a number of Linux utilities. As with most of the solutions we explore in this feature, it can be installed via an Android app available in the Google Play Store.

Another simple non-root solution is the Limbo PC Emulator, a port of the QEMU hypervisor. The Android app can be downloaded in APK from from the project website: sourceforge.net/projects/limbopcemulator. Download an ISO for the desired distro and you can then run it in a virtual machine created by the app. Since the app is emulating x86 architecture on an ARM-based device, however, it’s a bit on the slow side.

Possibly a more useful alternative is the Debian noroot app, available from the Play Store. While the app actually provides a compatibility layer rather than a full Debian OS, it does enable you to run Debian applications on your Android device.

If you’re after a more fully-featured distro without rooting, however, the best solution currently available is the GNURoot app by Corbin Champion. Downloadable for free from the Play Store, it works on non-rooted devices by using a ptrace container implemented via the PRoot utility. No need to worry about any technical jargon, however, since the app does all the nitty-gritty for you and is very easy to use. After downloading and installing the main GNURoot app, you then need to download and install one of the ‘helper’ apps available for different ARM-based distros: (Debian) Wheezy, Fedora, Aboriginal (a lightweight BusyBox variant) and Gentoo. There’s also an x86 version of Wheezy available if you have an x86-based device. The downloaded distro can then be unpacked and launched using the simple menu system in the main GNURoot app, which does all the hard work and eventually places you in a command-line terminal emulator (see ‘Launch a distro with GNURoot’ instructions at the end of this post). You’re then all set to go and should be able to install any packages from the distro’s repo in the usual fashion, using the relevant package manager, such as apt-get or yum. You can create extra terminal windows by tapping the ‘+’ button at the top, then switch between them via the top-left drop-down menu. The top-right (three-dots) icon also brings up a menu for various settings, including font size (you might well want to increase it to see the text more easily on a small screen) and a list of special keys accessed via various volume button combinations.

Getting graphical

While useful for running various Linux tools and utilities, one obvious limitation of GNURoots’ four main distro options is that they only run via the command line. To run programs requiring windows, you’ll need a GUI. Fortunately, GNURoot does offer a way to implement one, using the helper app called ‘GNURoot Wheezy X (xterms)’, which launches a VNC server for this purpose. To see the GUI, you’ll also need to download one of the many VNC clients available in the Play Store – we used VNC Viewer.

The WheezyX distro launches in a terminal window. After updating and upgrading, as before, note the address of the VNC server at the top – it should be ‘localhost:1’ the first time. You can then open the VNC Viewer app and point it to this address, entering the password as ‘password’. A virtual desktop will then launch – note that there’s no proper desktop environment by default; just an xterm terminal window for Wheezy. By swiping around the screen, you can move the mouse pointer onto this window and tap to select it. You can use the keyboard icon in the pop-up top toolbar to start typing into the terminal, and use the handy row of special keys above the on-screen keyboard for things like Ctrl, Alt, the cursor arrows and function keys.

From this terminal window you can install and launch programs to run within windows on the desktop. Using the mouse pointer, windows can be dragged around and resized. While a bit fiddly, the system works pretty well, although you may get the odd error and applications may well be missing audio (a common problem when using VNC viewers). You can also install a desktop environment via the terminal. We managed to get Xfce working by installing it with: apt-get install xfce4. We then launched it from the VNC Viewer terminal with: startxfce4.

For some reason, the main desktop launched inside a window of its own, but could be dragged into position to fill the screen. There’s an application menu at the top for launching programs, although some items don’t work by default. So you may need to tinker around with the system to get it working better for you.

Here’s Debian Wheezy for GNURoot running Xfce – open the image to view it at full size

 KBOX2 BusyBox

The KBOX2 project works by constructing a minimal Linux root file system within the private data area of the hosting terminal emulator app, so you’ll need to download one to use it – try Android Terminal Emulator by Jack Palevich. While you can install KBOX2 manually from that app’s command line, it’s easier to use the OneBox Package Manager app – you’ll need to buy a companion app (£2.03/$3.10). Just follow the in-app directions and it’ll run the setup script for KBOX2 within the terminal emulator. Now go to the latter and enter:

/data/data/jackpal.androidterm/kbox2/bin/kbox_shell

The prompt should change to /home/kbox $. You can then download the packages you need from the KBOX2 site (via the device’s web browser) and install them with:

dpkg -i /sdcard/Download/{package}.deb

Compatible packages include Perl, Dropbear (SSH support), GCC, Vim and rsync.

Launch a distro with GNURoot

1. Search for GNURoot in the Play Store on your Android device. Install the main GNURoot app, then the helper app of whichever distro you want to run with it.
2. Open the GNURoot app and choose the distro for the helper app you’re using from the top drop-down menu. Then tap the Create New Rootfs button to unpack it – this can take a few minutes.
3. Once done, select that distro from the second drop-down and tick the ‘Launch as Fake Root’ box (so you can use apt-get and other root commands), then tap Launch Rootfs.
4. It may a take a while to start the first time, resulting in a black screen before a familiar command-line terminal appears. You are now ready to use the downloaded distro.
5. First, to ensure everything’s up to date, use the commands apt-get update and apt-get upgrade in Wheezy. If using Fedora, instead use yum update.

ARM-less devices

For this article, we’ve focused on installing Linux on ARM-based devices. However, some Android devices, such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3, are based on the x86 architecture. So, since nearly all Linux distros are based around x86, in theory they should easily run on these devices – whether using a live USB stick (via USB2Go) or a full install. You may need to tweak settings to get some features working, such as the virtual keyboard and screen rotation. Ubuntu and openSUSE (with its TabletPC pattern) seem to be the the best options.

Next time

That’s it for now, but check in again tomorrow and we’ll take a look at the rooted options for running Linux on Android phones and tablets.
