Well, look at that, we are here in the last section of the course.
And it's a doozy, so WPX stands for Wi-Fi protected setup.
Yeah, we mentioned at the beginning, but I want to continue and get into some details.
So WPX was designed to make setting a secure access point simpler for the average homeowner, is first
introduced way back in 2006, but by 2011 it was discovered that it had a serious design flaw that WPE
pin could be brute force rather easily now with only seven unknown digits in a pin.
There are just nine million 999 thousand 999 possibilities, and most systems can attempt that many
combinations in a few hours.
So once the spin is discovered, the user can use that pin to find the WPA to pre shared QI or password,
now since a brute force attack against WPA to protected access can take many hours or many days even.
Even if this feature is enabled on the app and not upgraded, it can be a much faster route to getting
the pesky.
So it's important to note here, though, that the new apps no longer have this vulnerability, since
this attack will only work on apps sold during that window between 2006 and I'd say early 2012.
Now, since many families keep their access points for many years, there are still many of these vulnerable
ones around.
Now, as I mentioned in the Wi-Fi interaction section, there are three primary methods used in Wi-Fi
protected setup, pin entry button configuration or PVC and near field communication or NFC.
So my access point here is using the push button configuration method so I can just and perform a pin
attack to the access point, but the attack will fail because I won't be able to set a pin to my access
point.
First, remember to enable WPX from your modem interface, a sensor setting can change for each modem.
You'll need to go to the interface of your modem and find the WPX section.
So see how to perform a spin attack with wi fi t.
Go to Calli, open a terminal scream.
And let's check them out of the wireless interface, it's currently in managed mode, so needs to be
placed in a monitor mode on the channel number of the access point.
Then open wi fi TV from the menu.
And here are the options for the attack.
Run wi fi TV with a parameter.
And when you see the target access point, just keyboard command, control, see?
So like the number of the target access point.
And that's all, if it starts the attack and it will try to crack the pin with two different methods.
Now, you can see here that my attack failed because there is no pin.
If you can activate weps with a PIN method on your access point, you can follow those steps and you
will crack the pin.
