What is Wifi Handshake Capturing?

These handshakes happen at whatever point a wifi client associates with the Modem, for example, when your neighbor gets back after working all day. We catch this handshake by directing airmon-ng to screen traffic on the target network using the channel and bssid values discovered from the commands.

What is Wifi Handshaking?


A wifi Handshaking is a process where we catch a 4-way authentication key. It occurres when a client reconnect to AP or Wireless Router both will passes from a four way authentication process to know that the requester client is valid.

Wifi 4-Way Authentication Key Capturing?


The vulnerability in WPA/WPA2 WIFI password is that the encrypted password is shared in what is known as a 4-way handshake which is know as WiFi Handshake Capturing. Whenever a client authenticates to an access point the client and the access point go through a 4 step process to authenticate the user to the access point. So We can then capture the password at this time and attempt to crack it by brute force attack.





Wifi Handshake Capturing Tools List


There is a lot of tools are available in market for capturing handshake from Windows linux and Android. But all that tools because wireless monitoring mode. 
Here's a list of some Linux based wireless handshake capturing tools.

  • Handshaker
  • Linset
  • Auto handshake
  • Airmon-ng
  • Fedan wifi cracker

Wifi Handshake Capturing Windows


Yes we can capture Wi-Fi handshake using Windows the guide video in below not this video is not created by me so the credit goes to to the channel owner.



Wifi Handshake Capturing Android


We can connect any Wi-Fi in Android using WPS.
If you are not familiar with WPS then let me introduce WPS before we start. A WPS stand for (wireless protected setup) whitch is made for or easier to connect clients to the modem without sharing password. But for the people used this as a vulnerability of Wi-Fi wpa2 and wpa2.


Using WPA WPS Tester


By using WPA WPS tester we can connect any Wi-Fi in Android without password but before that we need a WPS pin. So basically WPS pin is a second security key for connecting to a Wi-Fi. As far companies use Mac addresses to define the WPS pin so it's easier to hackers to crack WPS Pin can connect to Compromised to Wireless.

Can We Handshake Capturing With Android?


So basically the answer is yes and no. There are most of circumstances that you can't access to a Wi-Fi or Capture handshake using Android but it can be possible when you root your Android.

Yes you can assess more and more features when you root your Android device. 

With a rooted device you can install Kali nethunter and Access everything as you can on PC or laptop. But external devices are required. Like if you are using an Android device which doesn't support Wi-Fi monitoring mode. so in this matter you have to use an external card a wireless adaptor.
