Test the security of its WiFi network

While in order to enter a wired network, it is necessary to physically connect to it, in WiFi, anyone who is within reach of the network can potentially connect to it. And this is all the more embarrassing since the intruder is not necessarily visible: it can be a neighbor, a passerby in the street, in short, anyone.

Free to it then to snoop on the hard drives of your PCs connected to the unprotected network or use your Internet connection improperly, yourself being responsible for the acts that it might commit.

If there are methods to secure its WiFi connection, it also exists to break the encryption keys and succeed in connecting to a protected network.

One of the most popular piracy programs is Aircrack-ng. Through various tools, Aircrack-ng can listen to the wireless traffic around you and after examining data packets and exchanges between different clients, can try to find the encryption key needed to connect to the network.

Nothing like using such a program to verify that your wireless connection is secure. If a Windows version exists, it has nothing to do in terms of power and support of WiFi adapters of the Linux version. Thanks to the live CD Kali Linux, you can use Aircrack-ng without installing anything on your computer.

Kali Linux includes all the tools and drivers that will enable you to test the security of your WiFi network. You will also have a list of millions of public passwords that will be tested against your wireless network. In this folder, we will use Fern-wifi-cracker which offers a graphical interface to the tools of aircrack-ng.
