Download crunch - wordlist generator for free. Crunch is a wordlist generator where you can specify a standard character set or a character set you specify. Crunch can generate all possible combinations and permutations. This version requires you to develop your own DLLs to link aircrack-ng to your wireless card (it will not work without). The required DLLs are not provided in the download and there will be no support for them.
Check out the Password Trend Analysis - and learn!
I visualized the trends of passwords that appeared 10 times or more in the Version 1 files.The charts contain immediately actionable advice on how to make your passwords more unique.
Methodology: Why and How
The Why
Password wordlists are not hard to find. It seems like every few weeks we hear about a massive, record-breaking data breach that has scattered millions of credentials across the internet for everyone to see. If our data is leaked, we'll change our passwords, the hard-working security teams will address the vulnerabilities and everyone will wait until they hear about the next breach.
While leaks may be published with malicious intent, I see an opportunity here for the us to make ourselves a bit more secure online.
Passwords, by definition, are meant to be secret. If it weren't for these leaks, we might not have any idea what a password looks like. Sure, we might know the password to a friend's home Wifi network, or for a company expense account, but passwords are usually only intended to be known by the user and an authentication system.
But, consider this:
If you are never supposed to tell me yours, and I am never going to tell you mine...
How do we know that we aren't using the same passwords?
How do we know we aren't using the same passwords as millions of other people?
If crooks are the only ones who understand what common passwords look like, then the rest of us may never change our passwords! Without this knowledge, we may just continue believing that our password is one of a kind. Data shows that frequently, passwords certainly are not one of a kind.
This is confirmed year after year when password is found to be among the top 3 password for the umpteenth time in a row. Until we know what common passwords look like, we will come up with passwords that appear on dozens of leaks.
If any of your passwords has been published on the internet for everyone to see, then can you really claim it as your password?
The How
While studying password wordlists, I noticed most were either sorted alphabetically or not sorted at all. This might be okay computerized analysis, but I wanted to learn something about the way people think.
I determined that for the most practical analysis, lists had to be sorted in a manner that reflected actual human behavior, not an arbitrary alphabet system or random chronology.
For the better part of a year, I went to sites like SecLists, Weakpass, and Hashes.org to download nearly every single Wordlist containing real passwords I could find. After attempting to remove non-pertinent information, this harvest yielded 1600 files spanning more than 350GB worth of leaked passwords.
For each file, I removed internal duplicates and ensured that they all used the same style of newline character. Some of these lists were composed of smaller lists, and some lists were exact copies, but I took care that the source material was as 'pure' as possible. Then, all files were combined into a single amalgamation that represented all of the source files.
Each time a password was found in this file represented a time it was found in the source materials. I considered the number of times a password was found across all of the files to be an approximation of its overall popularity. If an entry was found in less than 5 files, it isn't commonly used. But, if an entry could be found more than 350 files, it is incredibly popular. The passwords that were found in the highest number of source files are considered to be the most popular and are placed at top of the list. Files that didn't appear frequently were placed at the bottom.
The giant source file represented nearly 13 billion passwords! However, since this project aims to find the most popular passwords, and not just list as many passwords as I could find, a password needed to be found at least 5 times in analysis to be included on these lists.
The end result is a list of approximately 2 Billion real passwords, sorted in order of their popularity, not by the alphabet.
Directories In This Repository
Files sorted by popularity will include probable-v2 in the filename
These are REAL passwords.
The files in this folder come from sites like https://github.com/danielmiessler/SecLists, https://weakpass.com/ and https://hashes.org/
Some files contain entries between 8-40 characters. These can be found in the Real-Passwords/WPA-Length directory.
Files including dictionaries, encyclopedic lists and miscellaneous. Wordlists in this folder were not necessarily associated with the 'password' label.
Some technically useful lists, such as common usernames, tlds, directories, etc. are included.
Files useful for password recovery and analysis. Includes HashCat Rules and Character Masks.
These files were generated using the PACK project.

In this post I will tell you how to crack wpa/wpa2 wi-fi in kali linux using aircrack-ng. To do this, first you should install kalinux or you can use live kali linux.
To make a kali-linux bootable click here.
To crack Wi-Fi, first, you need a computer with kali linux and a wireless card which supports monitor/injection mode. If your wireless card is not able to do this, you need to get an external wireless card which is capable of monitor/injection mode.

Apart from these tools, you need to have a word-list to crack the password from the captured packets.
First you need to understand how Wi-Fi works. Wi-Fi transmits signal in the form of packets in air so we need to capture all the packets in air so we use airodump to dump all the packets in air .After that we should see that if any one is connected to the victim Wi-Fi. If anyone is not connected the Wi-Fi, cracking is not possible as we need a wpa handshake. We can capture handshake by sending deauthentication packets to client connected to Wi-Fi. Aircrack cracks the password.
Step-1:-
First open terminal. We need to know the name of the wireless adapter connected to the computer because computer has many adapters connected.
command for this is iwconfig.
In my case, my wireless adapter is with the name wlan0. In your case, it may be different. If connected to an external wireless card, it may be wlan1or2.
Step-2:-
For some wireless cards, it gives error messages to enable monitor mode on wireless cards. For that, you should use airmon-ng check kill.
step-3:-
In this step, you need to enable the monitor mode on the wireless card. The command is as follows:
airmon-ng start wlan0(interface of wireless card).
Now this command will enable the monitor mode on the wifi card. So while using interface in any terminal or command line use wlan0mon.
Note:You should use the interface which is indicated with red mark.
step-4:-
We need to use the command airodump-ng wlan0mon, this will display all the access points in your surroundings and also the clients connected to that access points.
Now this command captures the packets in the air. This will gather data from the wireless packets in the air.
Note:Do not close this terminal. This will be used to know wpa has been captured or not.
step-5:-
In this step we will add some parameters to airodump-ng.
command is airodump-ng -c channel –bssid [bssid of wifi] -w [path to write the data of packets] wlan0mon[interface].
-bssid in my case bssid is indicated with red mark.
-c channel is the channel of victim wifi in my case it is 10(see in previous screenshot for channel number)
-w It is used to write the captured data to a specified path in my case it is ‘/root/Desktop/hack’.
Interface in my case is wlan0mon.
In the above command the path /root/Desktop/hack hack is the name of the file to be saved.
Above command displays this terminal.

step-6
In this step we deauthenticate the connected clients to the Wi-Fi.
The command is aireplay-ng –deauth 10 -a [router bssid] interface

In the above command it is optional to give the client mac address it is given by -c <client mac>
This will disconnects the client from access point.
Screen shot of a client connected to access point.
After this the client tries to connect to the Wi-Fi again. At that time, we will capture the packets which sends from client. From this result, we will get wpa handshake.
step-7:-
Now we should start cracking the Wi-Fi with captured packets command for this is
aircrack-ng -b [bssid of router] -w [path to word list] [path to capture packets]
-w path to word list in my case it is ‘/root/Desktop/wordlist.txt’
If you did not have word list, get one. If you want to generate your custom wordlist, you can visit our other post: How generate word list using crunch.
Now press enter aircrack will start cracking the Wi-Fi.
Aircrack cracked Wi-Fi and key found.
Note:To use this method you need to have wordlist compulsory there are many wordlists available in internet you can download them.
