ERROR#403 - The Tech Planet

Hello, devils! Today I'm going to introduce you to a network security feature of Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) networks named Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS).The WPS was released as an additional security measure for WPA/WPA2 routers. WPA and WPA2 were security protocols which were far more secure than the former protocol, Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). It was found that the Pre-Shared Key (PSK) or simply,  password of WEP could be cracked very easily. Therefore, in 2003, WPA/WPA2 Wi-Fi security protocols were released. The WPS has a PIN feature to connect network devies to the Access Points. Later, it was found to have a major security bug which allowed hackers to crack the PIN and with the PIN, attackers could have access to the WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK (Password). In this post, I'm going to teach you how to crack WPS of a router.

If you installed the OS offline, you will need to update the repository list to get future updates. Let's keep this short.

MAC (Media Access Control) address is a unique identifier which is assigned to every network interface when it is made in factory. MAC spoofing refers to the technique by which you can change that address. In this tutorial, I'm gonna show you how to change the MAC address in Linux Operating System. NOTE: I'm writing this tutorial for educational purposes only. I will not be responsible for any illegal hacking done by following this tutorial.

My last post taught you about making your PC say something. This post is gonna teach you creating strong passwords. Password is a secret word or phrase that must be used to gain admission to something... It allows you gain access to a computer, interface or a system. As pentesting is one of my interests, it's my daily work to crack passwords and make my system more secure. We, network security administrators know the methods to crack weak passwords easily and trust me, even a noob or script kiddie can crack them just by using some tools. A lot of noobs try social engineering too to gain access to your important stuff. If you have a strong password, it's difficult for people to guess it and hence, your account remains safe and secure.
