Installing and Running Hashcat on Ubuntu Server 18.04
Hashcat Installation, Configuration and WPA2 Cracking
Once you have installed Ubuntu Server 18.04 onto your cracking station, you can run the following commands to install and configure hashcat.
sudo bash
apt install ocl-icd-libopencl1 git build-essential
mkdir /installs && mkdir /installs/apps && cd /installs/apps
git clone https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat
cd hashcat
git submodule update –init
make
cd ../
git clone https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat-utils
cd hashcat-utils/src
make
cp *.bin ../bin
Now you want to download your wordlists
mkdir /installs/apps/wordlists && cd /installs/apps/wordlists
wget https://github.com/brannondorsey/naive-hashcat/releases/download/data/rockyou.txt
Assuming you already have a WPA2 file to crack, you will now need to move the hccapx file to a directory on the cracking system
cd /installs/apps/hashcat
Cracking the WPA2 file with a wordlist:
./hashcat -m 2500 /crack/wpa2/wpa.hccapx /installs/apps/wordlists/rockyou.txt
Cracking with
To crack up to 8 digits :
./hashcat -m 2500 /crack/wpa2/wpa.hccapx -a 3 ?d,?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d –increment-min 1 –increment-max 16 –increment
./hashcat -m 2500 -r rules/best64.rule /crack/wpa2/wpa.hccapx /installs/apps/wordlists/rockyou.txt
Increasing the power of your YAGI Antenna
Simple Way To Increase The Power of Your Antenna
If you live in a country where this is acceptable, such as Belize, you can increase the power of your antenna by simply changing the country code within your wireless config.
To do check the current power of your adapter, run
iwconfig (adapter)
Where you change (adapter) for the actual adapter you have. Ex:
iwconfig wlan2
Look for the line that shows Tx-Power= and note what your dBm is running at. This will give you a baseline for your existing setup.
Then to change it and increase the power, type in the following to change it to your country code if you are in Belize (which allows this)
iw reg set BZ
iwconfig wlan2 txpower 40
You can then run the following command and see how your Tx-Power has changed
iwconfig wlan2
