it is a group project, my group did send me their papers. In each tool they discussed I needed to come with an abstract, intro and conclusion. this is my part

As Technology continues to grow and advance and organizations make great strides to maintain a foothold on advancements in technology cyber threats become ever more common and ever more persistent. Organizations who build teams of experienced tenacious individuals who act as a significant mitigation effort against threats play a huge role in protecting that organization.

White Hack Hacking is a much-needed element in setting the security posture of an organization. In todays enterprise a simple computer network is no match for a hacker with the knowledge to use the available resources and hand to find weaknesses and penetrate the company’s defenses. There is contemplation in that equipment and smart appliances, which are designed to fulfill important functions such as penetration testing or security operations are not capable of performing with the full breadth of a human. Wifite is an amazing wireless network auditing tool. Wifite is uniquely designed for use with pen testing distributions, specifically Linux distributions. It is a set it and forget it auditing tool. Its designed to power pack several combinations of wireless foot-printing and hacking into one easily automated tool. Several tools are included in the wifite python automated toolbox. Among those are Wifi Protected Access, Wired Equivalent Privacy, and Wifi Protected Setup options. Wifite aims to simplify wireless auditing and the use of Aero based tools that you can call upon and crack networks with numerous steps needed to complete specific actions.

Among the best features that this tool has, I will name a few of them. Wifite enables the auditor the ability to sort targets by signal strength based on its dB (decibel) level. You can easily factor the command and attack expression to acutely target one device with a specific setting and identifier, allowing for pinpoint precision. Anonymity in hacking is incredibly important, even more so when you are testing your company’s systems integrity. Wifite allows you to randomly change your mac address, allowing you to stay completely hidden in the event of a hack. This tool is designed to home in on the specific encryptions and security handling of the different wireless access points and associated networks and brute force its way into by injecting or intercepting handshakes. Wifite is made of several dependencies, among them are Python, Aircrack-ng, and hcxtools. The tool can use all these dependencies and packages to make hacking simple.

Three common methods of security that Wireless Access Points use: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), WiFi Protected Access (WPA), and Wifi Protected Setup (WPS). Wifite Targets each and is specifically designed to interrupt, intercept, or intercede the handshake to gain access to data packets allowing ease of enumeration of usernames and passwords. WEP is very common, even more so amongst older devices, and is a weak security method which is easily cracked with the right tools. WPA ‘Once a patch for WEP’ or WPA2 ‘More intensive finished product’ is a much more security method with greater encryption variation. New Wireless Access Points and Routers now use WPA2 as a default with options embedded for AES-128 and TKIP Encryption Protocol. If the device fails to facilitate AES, it will fall on TKIP, then to WPA. WPA has been cracked but only small packets of less than twenty random characters or less are breakable. WPS is the newest, most secure method. The idea behind this method is to have both an access point and a node that supports it. If this is the case, you will be able to easily configure devices with the best preexisting security possible.

Using this Python Coded Autonomous Tool, I could wirelessly sniff out a target ‘mac, ip address, essid, channel, strength, etc.’ with precision, intercept a handshake which divulges a username and password, use the Identifiers that are in plaintext discovered during the enumeration stage to log into the device via any remote access protocol from any machine, and shut the device down or lock the users out, or retrieve pertinent information collectable for other purposes. Wireless devices, Wireless Capability, and Devices of the Internet of Things all play a pivotal role in our future. Being able to connect with access points and other devices, share data securely, and trust that your privacy is being protected can not be guaranteed. With tools such as Wifite, an advanced knowledge of technology, and the intent to take advantage could prove to be damaging.
