Hack Wi-Fi Passwords with Fern Wi-Fi Cracker on Kali Linux

Welcome! In this comprehensive tutorial, I will guides you through the process of cracking Wi-Fi passwords using a dictionary attack with the powerful, built-in Kali Linux tool: Fern Wi-Fi Cracker.

What You'll Learn:
Setting up Kali Linux: Whether you're running a virtual machine or a bare-metal installation, we'll cover the initial setup steps.
Wi-Fi Adapter Requirements: Understand the crucial role of a Wi-Fi adapter that supports monitor mode and packet injection, especially for virtual machine users.
Ethical Hacking Principles: Learn why it's vital to only perform these techniques on networks you own or have explicit permission to test. Unauthorized access is illegal and unethical.
Using Fern Wi-Fi Cracker: Get a step-by-step walkthrough of the Fern interface, including:
Selecting your wireless interface.
Enabling monitor mode.
Scanning for nearby access points.
Targeting a specific network.
Initiating a dictionary attack using the rockyou.txt wordlist.
Capturing the WPA2 4-way handshake.
Recovering the Wi-Fi password.
Key Database: Discover how Fern stores recovered passwords for future use.

Prerequisites:
A Kali Linux installation (virtual machine or bare metal).
A compatible Wi-Fi adapter (if using a VM, ensure it supports monitor mode and packet injection).
The rockyou.txt wordlist (comes with Kali Linux but needs to be extracted).

⚠️ CRITICAL DISCLAIMER ⚠️:
This video is for educational purposes only. The techniques demonstrated are to be used strictly on networks for which you have explicit permission. Engaging in unauthorized access to computer systems or networks is illegal and can lead to severe consequences. Always practice responsible and ethical hacking.
