The Fern WiFi Cracker is a GUI-based tool for Wi-Fi network penetration testing available on Kali Linux. It simplifies Wi-Fi hacking processes by offering an accessible interface for packet capturing, key cracking, and various Wi-Fi attack implementations.
Steps to Hack Wi-Fi using Fern WiFi Cracker
  1. Start Fern WiFi Cracker: Open a terminal and launch Fern with:
    $ sudo fern-wifi-cracker
    1. Select the Interface: Choose your Wi-Fi adapter from the list. Fern requires a compatible wireless adapter that supports monitor mode.
    2. Enable Monitor Mode: Fern automatically enables monitor mode on the adapter. Confirm the mode switch by observing the adapter in "monitor mode" in the interface.
    3. Scan for Networks:
      • Click "Scan for Access Points" to identify nearby Wi-Fi networks.
      • Fern categorizes networks by WEP, WPA, and WPA2 encryption.
    4. Crack WEP Networks:
      • For WEP, select the network, then click "WEP" to start packet capturing.
      • Fern captures packets and tries various attacks to recover the WEP key.
      • Once it captures enough packets, it performs an FMS/Korek or PTW attack to crack the key.
    5. Crack WPA/WPA2 Networks:
      • For WPA/WPA2, select the network and click "WPA".
      • Fern uses dictionary attacks to crack WPA/WPA2 keys, so ensure you have a dictionary file (e.g.,
        rockyou.txt
        ).
      • Fern will capture a 4-way handshake, required for WPA/WPA2 cracking, then brute-force the passphrase using the dictionary file.
    6. Session Logging and Results:
      • Fern logs each session and saves cracked keys.
      • After successful cracking, the Wi-Fi key appears on the interface, and you can view it in the session logs.
    Additional Tips
    • Increase Success with Dictionaries: For WPA/WPA2, using a comprehensive wordlist improves the chances of cracking passwords.
    • Monitor Mode Check: If the Wi-Fi adapter doesn’t support monitor mode, the cracking attempts won’t work. Use
      airmon-ng to verify the compatibility.
