Pyrit allows you to create databases of pre-computed WPA/WPA2-PSK PMKs. By using Multi-Core CPUs and ATI-Stream,Nvidia CUDA, and OpenCL, it is a powerful attack against one of the world's most used security-protocols. In the new version of Kali (2.0) wich you are most likely using, Wifite has a bug because of wich capturing the handshake fails. In the newest version of wifite this is fixed, but in Kali, the update-function of Wifite (wifite -update i think) won't find the newest version.

- (^C) WPA handshake capture interrupted + 2 attacks completed: + 0/2 WPA attacks succeeded + quitting Now the deauth attacks weren't working. This time I increased the deauth frequency. Root@kali:# wifite -wpadt 1. Soon, however, I realized, that the problem was that I was using my internal card (Kali Live USB).

Once you have downloaded a dictionary file, open up a terminal and enter “aircrack-ng -b bssid of router -w path to word list path of captured handshake”. If the password is in the dictionary file, aircrack-ng will tell you.

hcxtools Description
Small set of tools convert packets from captures (h = hash, c = capture, convert and calculate candidates, x = different hashtypes) for the use with latest hashcat or John the Ripper. The tools are 100% compatible to hashcat and John the Ripper and recommended by hashcat. This branch is pretty closely synced to hashcat git branch (that means: latest hcxtools matching on latest hashcat beta) and John the Ripper git branch ('bleeding-jumbo').
Support for hashcat hash-modes: 2500, 2501, 4800, 5500, 12000, 16100, 16800, 16801
Support for John the Ripper hash-modes: WPAPSK-PMK, PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA1, chap, netntlm, tacacs-plus

WiFite Description
To attack multiple WEP, WPA, and WPS encrypted networks in a row. This tool is customizable to be automated with only a few arguments. Wifite aims to be the 'set it and forget it' wireless auditing tool.
Features
- sorts targets by signal strength (in dB); cracks closest access points first
- automatically de-authenticates clients of hidden networks to reveal SSIDs
- numerous filters to specify exactly what to attack (wep/wpa/both, above certain signal strengths, channels, etc)
- customizable settings (timeouts, packets/sec, etc)
- 'anonymous' feature; changes MAC to a random address before attacking, then changes back when attacks are complete
- all captured WPA handshakes are backed up to wifite.py's current directory
- smart WPA de-authentication; cycles between all clients and broadcast deauths
- stop any attack with Ctrl+C, with options to continue, move onto next target, skip to cracking, or exit
- displays session summary at exit; shows any cracked keys
- all passwords saved to cracked.txt
- built-in updater: ./wifite.py -upgrade

How to install WiFite
Kali Wifite Handshake Location Map
The program is pre-installed on Kali Linux.
Installation on Linux (Debian, Mint, Ubuntu)
Required Programs
Please see the installation guide on the wiki for help installing any of the tools below.
- Python 2.7.x. Wifite is a Python script and requires Python to run.
- aircrack-ng suite. This is absolutely required. The specific programs used in the suite are:
airodump-ng
packetforge-ng
Standard linux programs.
- iwconfig, ifconfig, which, iw
Suggested Programs
- reaver, a Wifi-Protected Setup (WPS) attack tool. Reaver includes a scanner 'walsh' (or 'wash') for detecting WPS-enabled access points. Wifite uses Reaver to scan for and attack WPS-enabled routers.
- pyrit, a GPU cracker for WPA PSK keys. Wifite uses pyrit (if found) to detect handshakes. In the future, Wifite may include an option to crack WPA handshakes via pyrit.
- tshark. Comes bundled with Wireshark, packet sniffing software.
- cowpatty, a WPA PSK key cracker. Wifite uses cowpatty (if found) to detect handshakes.
