HOW TO HACK WI-FI Get Anyone's Wi-Fi Password Without Cracking Using Wifiphisher

 hackers!

Do you need to get a Wi-Fi password but don't have the time to crack it? In previous tutorials, I have shown how to crack WEPWPA2, and WPS, but some people have complained that cracking WPA2 takes too long and that not all access points have WPS enabled (even though quite a few do). To help out in these situations, I present to you an almost surefire way to get a Wi-Fi password without cracking—Wifiphisher.

Steps in the Wifiphisher Strategy

The idea here is to create an evil twin AP, then de-authenticate or DoS the user from their real AP. When they re-authenticate to your fake AP with the same SSID, they will see a legitimate-looking webpage that requests their password because of a "firmware upgrade." When they provide their password, you capture it and then allow them to use the evil twin as their AP, so they don't suspect a thing. Brilliant!

To sum up, Wifiphisher takes the following steps:

De-authenticate the user from their legitimate AP.Allow the user to authenticate to your evil twin.Offer a webpage to the user on a proxy that notifies them that a "firmware upgrade" has taken place, and that they need to authenticate again.The Wi-Fi password is passed to the hacker and the user continues to the web oblivious to what just happened.

Similar scripts have been around for awhile, such as Airsnarf, but this new Wifiphisher script is more sophisticated. In addition, you could always do this all manually, but now we have a script that automates the entire process. Recently, another script named Fluxion has also gained popularity as an alternative to Wifiphisher. You can check out this great guide on Fluxion if Wifiphisher isn't working for you.

To do this hack, you will need Kali Linux and two network wireless adapters, one of which must be capable of packet injection. You can use the tried and true AWUS036NHA, or check out our guide on picking the best wireless network adapter for Kali Linux.

You may use others, but before you do, make certain that it is compatible with Aircrack-ng (packet injection capable). Please do NOT post questions on why it doesn't work until you check if your wireless adapter can do packet injection. Most cannot.

Bitcoin Laundering” Study: Where Do Criminals Turn to Mask Illicit Cryptoassets?

A recent study ( PDF ) from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies’ Center on Sanctions and Illicit Finance and blockchain analytics company Elliptic explored the “bitcoin laundering” ecosystem. In the study, Elliptic’s forensic analysis of the Bitcoin blockchain and other publicly available data were used to track the flows of illicit funds from 2013 to 2016. “This study aimed to identify where individuals turn in order to cash out or transmit bitcoins (BTC) acquired from illicit entities and to discover typologies for criminals ‘laundering’ bitcoins,” the report says. The study describes bitcoin laundering as a special type of money laundering that exists within the Bitcoin network where a user moves some bitcoins to a new address in a manner that obscures the original source of funds. The conversion of bitcoins into fiat currency on exchanges that lack adequate anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) policies can also fall under the category ...

Soaring Bitcoin Price Leads $159 Billion Crypto Market Recovery

Bitcoin  Well, somebody bought the dip. Just as critics were rushing to proclaim that the bitcoin bubble had burst, the markets staged a $159 billion recovery. The rally was headlined by the bitcoin price, which rebounded from its sub-$10,000 fling and is currently flirting with $12,000.
