The latest version is faster and contains a lot of new features like APR (ARP Poison Routing) which enables sniffing on switched LANs and Man-in-the-Middle attacks. The sniffer in this version can also analyze encrypted protocols such as SSH-1 and HTTPS and contains filters to capture credentials from a wide range of authentication mechanisms. The new version also ships routing protocols authentication monitors and routes extractors, dictionary and brute-force crackers for all common hashing algorithms and for several specific authentications, password/hash calculators, cryptanalysis attacks, password decoders and some not so common utilities related to network and system security.
Wifi Password Hack 2013 Full Version
So, given that both the manufacturer and the ISP have a database of broadband modem/router passwords, the ISP knows where each is installed, and the vast majority are still in use, what are the chances that database has not been demanded by a NSL or hacked?
No, the NSA (or criminals) just need to pwn a computer anywhere near your network and then activate the wifi on that system, and break into your network by either entering the handy google archived password or cracking the WPA2 handshake. Moxie Marlinspike offers this service for $17 so do any Bitcoin pools
Plus the DB will always have holes in it. Google saves your wifi password if you use an Android phone. I know people who have wifi routers who have no wifi devices. I have wifi passwords for networks that no longer exist or that now have different passwords (including a few Google wifi networks).
RK: Google maintains a database of SSID and MACs that its Street View trucks sense whilst mapping neighborhoods, so it is quite likely they can determine location. That said, I suspect its real utility would be in obtaining your password (hopefully username too in the case of WPA2 enterprise) as many people are guilty of password reset.
Microsoft's malware encyclopedia offers a more nuanced description, calling this app a "hacking tool." Well, yes, that's kind of the point: freelance developer Nir Sofer's free program unearths passwords Windows had stashed out of sight.
Until now, ocl-Hashcat-plus, the Hashcat version that can use dozens of graphics cards to simultaneously crack huge numbers of cryptographic hashes, has limited guesses to 15 or fewer characters. (oclHashcat-lite and Hashcat have supported longer passwords, but these programs frequently take much longer to work.) Released over the weekend, ocl-Hashcat-plus version 0.15 can generally accommodate passwords with lengths of 55 characters. Depending on the hash that's being targeted and the types of cracking techniques being used, the maximum can grow as high as 64 characters or as low as 24. The long sought-after improvement targets one of the last remaining defenses people employ to make their passwords resistant to cracking.
As leaked lists of real-world passwords proliferate, many people have turned to passwords and passphrases dozens of characters long in hopes of staying ahead of the latest cracking techniques. Crackers have responded by expanding the dictionaries they maintain to include phrases and word combinations found in the Bible, common literature, and in online discussions. For instance, independent password researcher Kevin Young recently decoded one particularly stubborn hash as the cryptographic representation of "thereisnofatebutwhatwemake." Such cracks are known as "offline attacks" because they target the hashes leaked as a result of a database compromise, allowing the person who recovers the hashes to try an unlimited number of guesses until the correct plaintext passwords are found. Once the underlying credentials are revealed, a hacker can use them to compromise the online account they secure.
Until now, hackers and security consultants who cracked such words had to use software controlling the central processing unit of their computer or that used one or more graphics cards to crack a single hash. This weekend's update means that for the first time, Hashcat users can achieve speeds as high as eight billion guesses per second on a virtually unlimited number of compromised hashes. Breaking the 15-character limit is just one of several improvements designed to bring increased speed and precision to the password cracking program.
The new version of Hashcat came two days after developers for Russia-based ElcomSoft updated the company's Phone Password Breaker software. The fee-based forensic tool now supports the selective recovery of certain types of data stored in Apple's iCloud service. The new version allows users to retrieve contacts, call logs, pictures, or other specific types of backed up data without having possession of the original iPhone, as long as the attacker has the user's Apple ID and password.
Actually, it is a series of articles about WiFi password hacking apps that is going on from 2013 and people are loving it. Following is the list of top WiFi password hacking apps article that you might wanna visit.
WiFi password hacker simulator is a good Android app that gives the impression you can hack a WiFi network. This app actually creates the illusion that it can hack into secured wireless networks protected with WEP, AES or WPA2 encryption.
U.S. lawyers called it the biggest military computer hacks of all time and accused him of stealing passwords and deleting files (an accusation he adamantly denies). They consider him an electronic terrorist.
And although Yahoo is much less relevant than it used to be, the tendency of people to reuse passwords and security questions has serious implications. If you had a Yahoo email account back in 2009, but then switched to Gmail with the same password, the hack means someone could access your current email account.
When it comes to Wi-Fi password recovery, you have to understand one thing. All of the apps on this list are not designed to help you hack a Wi-Fi and find out their password. The idea is that sometimes, you might forget the password of a Wi-Fi, and since you cannot manually view the password, you need an app that will help you recover it.
iPhone users often rely on applications like the Cydia tweaks for hacking and recovering their Wi-Fi password. But Cydia requires that you jailbreak your device. But there are also other applications out there that you can try and use for your iPhone.
The application is a free software designed to scan WLAN access points and to audit their security. The app will show relevant diagnostic information about an access point. It will try to guess the access point default password via a public known algorithm. Bear in mind, you should not use the app as a hacking utility. The company will not be responsible for the usage if you try to hack Wi-Fi passwords.
But details over who pulled off the more serious 2013 hack continue to elude Yahoo, Mayer said during Wednesday's hearing(Opens in a new window), which was focused on protecting consumers from future data breaches.
The 2013 breach, which likely occurred in August of that year, stole user account data including names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, and hashed passwords. That means the perpetrators had three years to dive into Yahoo user accounts, and to any other internet accounts registered with the same usernames and passwords.
To protect yourself from hacks, it's a good idea to never reuse the same password on different internet accounts. Two-factor authentication will also add an extra layer of security. In addition to entering a password during the login process, it forces the account holder to enter a special code that's usually generated from your mobile phone.
Twitter confirmed Friday that it had become the latest victim in a number of high-profile cyber-attacks against media companies, saying that hackers may have gained access to information on 250,000 of its more than 200 million active users. googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1449240174198-2'); ); The social media giant said in a blog posting that earlier this week it detected attempts to gain access to its user data. It shut down one attack moments after it was detected.But it discovered that the attackers may have stolen user names, email addresses and encrypted passwords belonging to 250,000 users. Twitter reset the pilfered passwords and sent emails advising affected users.The online attack comes on the heels of recent hacks into the computer systems of U.S. media and technology companies, including The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. Both American newspapers reported this week that their computer systems had been infiltrated by China-based hackers, likely to monitor media coverage the Chinese government deems important.China has been accused of mounting a widespread, aggressive cyber-spying campaign for several years, trying to steal classified information and corporate secrets and to intimidate critics. The Chinese foreign ministry could not be reached for comment Saturday, but the Chinese government has said those accusations are baseless and that China itself is a victim of cyber-attacks."Chinese law forbids hacking and any other actions that damage Internet security," the Chinese Defense Ministry recently said. "The Chinese military has never supported any hacking activities."Although Twitter said in its blog that the attack "was not the work of amateurs, and we do not believe it was an isolated incident.""The attackers were extremely sophisticated, and we believe other companies and organizations have also been recently similarly attacked," the blog said. "For that reason we felt that it was important to publicize this attack while we still gather information, and we are helping government and federal law enforcement in their effort to find and prosecute these attackers to make the Internet safer for all users."One expert said that the Twitter hack probably happened after an employee's home or work computer was compromised through vulnerabilities in Java, a commonly used computing language whose weaknesses have been well publicized.Ashkan Soltani, an independent privacy and security researcher, said such a move would give attackers "a toehold" in Twitter's internal network, potentially allowing them either to sniff out user information as it traveled across the company's system or break into specific areas, such as the authentication servers that process users' passwords.In a telephone interview Friday, Soltani said that the relatively small number of users affected suggested either that attackers weren't on the network long or that they were only able to compromise a subset of the company's servers.Twitter is generally used to broadcast messages to the public, so the hacking might not immediately have yielded any important secrets. But the stolen credentials could be used to eavesdrop on private messages or track which Internet address a user is posting from.That might be useful, for example, for an authoritarian regime trying to keep tabs on a journalist's movements."More realistically, someone could use that as an entry point into another service," Soltani said, noting that since few people bother using different passwords for different services, a password stolen from Twitter might be just as handy for reading a journalist's emails.
