Some ISP's have been trying to thwart this type of attack by giving default essid's containing the serial number part of the device's MAC ID. To prevent against this type of attack you would need to change your essid to something somewhat unique, and definitely something other than the default (if the default is not unique). The WPA/WPA2 hashing algorithm does 4096 iterations, and salts it with the essid, so getting those calculations out of the way once will speed up future runs significantly. The benefit of this program is to allow for precomputing of hashes for common essid's. You might be thinking, that breaking the process down doesn't speed it up any, and you would be correct. You can download the source files from my github page here: I have added posix thread support to help speed up the time it takes to calculate the hashes. Second, you use the hash file created to perform the dictionary attack on a 4-way handshake capture file. The first allows you to pre-compute hashes for a given ssid from a given wordlist. genpmk.c breaks down the WPA/WPA2 dictionary attack process into two functions. I have added a patch to enable multi-threading (via pthreads) to the genpmk.c program of the coWPAtty wireless tools suite. To install only certain categories of tools (like to remove wifi or install password tools only): Leave mysql password blank (default in kali and by default only listens on localhost) apt-get install kali-linux-all # This installs like 3GB of packages, so be prepaired to wait Install VNC app, and connect to localhost:5900 Hit bottom right download button, select: Open LinuxDeploy, Go to settings, select: lock screen, lock wifi, wake lock, network trigger, enable cli

Installing Linux on your Android device requires root, but anyone that's reading this probably has root already, right? I'm currently looking into porting NetHunter to my LG G3 US990, and from what I can tell, is possible and encouraged. So, if you were wanting Kali on Android for wifi penetration testing, then you should look into Offensive Security's NetHunter, which includes patched drivers, but is only supported on a very limited set of Android devices. Before going through all of these steps, it might interest you to know that most Android devices usually do not have wireless drivers patched for injection, that being said, Kali still has many other useful tools that don't require patched drivers, i.e.
