WPA Passphrase Cracking

Overview

This repository contains a Python script for cracking a WPA passphrase using a captured handshake. The script uses a wordlist to attempt different passphrases and checks if the calculated MIC (Message Integrity Code) matches the captured MIC. This tool is intended for educational and security research purposes only.

Features

• Crack WPA passphrases using a captured handshake.
• Utilize a wordlist to perform passphrase guessing.
• Verify passphrase correctness based on MIC comparison.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• PyShark for packet analysis.

Usage

1. Capture a WPA handshake using a tool like Wireshark or aircrack-ng.
2. Save the capture as a .cap file.
3. Place the capture file in the same directory as the script.
4. Create a text file containing a list of potential passphrases (one per line) and name it passphrases.txt.
5. Run the script with Python: python script.py.
6. The script will iterate through the wordlist and attempt to crack the passphrase.

Example

$ python script.py
Passphrase found: correct_passphrase
End of wordlist.
