How To Hack WPA/WPA2 Wi-Fi With Kali Linux & Aircrack-ng
Kali Linux can be used for many things, but it probably is best known for its ability to pe*******on test, or “hack,” WPA and WPA2 networks. There are hundreds of Windows applications that claim they can hack WPA; don’t get them! They’re just scams, used by professional hackers, to lure newbie or wannabe hackers into getting hacked themselves. There is only one way that hackers get into your network, and that is with a Linux-based OS, a wireless card capable of monitor mode, and aircrack-ng or similar. Also note that, even with these tools, Wi-Fi cracking is not for beginners. Playing with it requires basic knowledge of how WPA authentication works, and moderate familiarity with Kali Linux and its tools. If you feel you have the necessary skills, let’s begin:
These are things that you’ll need:
A successful install of Kali Linux (which you probably have already done). If not, follow my tutorial here: http://lewiscomputerhowto.blogspot.com/complete-guide-on-how-to-install-kali.html
A wireless adapter capable of injection/monitor mode. Some computers have network cards capable of this from the factory. If you’re, like most however, you’ll have to buy an external one. Here is a list of the best: http://blackmoreops.com/recommended-usb-wireless-cards-kali-linux

If you have these then roll up your sleeves and let’s see how secure your network is!
Important notice: Hacking into anyone’s Wi-Fi without permission is considered an illegal act or crime in most countries. We are performing this tutorial for the sake of pe*******on testing, hacking to become more secure, and are using our own test network and router.
