We can proceed with the following steps:
In the case of WPA, the matter is a bit more complicated. The
iwconfig
utility cannot be used with WPA/WPA2 Personal and Enterprise, as it does not support it. We will use a new tool calledWPA_supplicant
for this lab. To useWPA_supplicant
for a network, we will need to create a configuration file, as shown in the following screenshot. We will name this filewpa-supp.conf
:We will then invoke the
WPA_supplicant
utility with the following options: -D wext -i wlan0 –c wpa-supp.conf
to connect to the WPA network we just cracked. Once the connection is successful, WPA_supplicant will give you the message: Connection to XXXX completed.For both the WEP and WPA networks, once you are connected, you can use dhcpclient to grab a DHCP address from the network by typing
dhclient3 wlan0
