Simple OSX WEP and WPA Cracking

KisMAC, for those who don’t know, is a wireless network discovery tool for Mac OS X. It scans for networks passively to let you know available networks, signal level and encryption type. But KisMAC doesn’t fear encrypted networks.

It is capable of cracking of WEP and WPA keys, both by brute force, and exploiting flaws such as weak scheduling and badly generated keys as well as packet reinjection.

The only problem is that the current complied version doesn’t work with Apple’s latest MacBook and MacBook Pros. We use SVN to compile the application with newly released code to support (in passive mode) the AirPort Exteme wireless cards in MacBook and MacBook Pros.

    Whoops…. Forgot my “DYN” server is case sensitive.

  • http://www.ear-fung.us/ Mark

    thx. :)
    I’ve been waiting for someone to compile this for Intel Macs for me so i didn’t have to do it :)

  • http://is.derekpunsalan.com Derek

    Dan is the man!

  • http://www.uneasysilence.com Dan

    It was a BITCH to compile!

  • Tiago Pinto

    Awesome! Thanks Dan!

  • fsy

    So what do I need to do to make it work on my MacBook Pro??

    Thank you

  • dan davies

    I don’t understand how to use this. It says I dont have a driver selected when trying to Authentication Flood. Any tips on how to crack a WPA network, or atleast a walk-through?

  • http://is.derekpunsalan.com Derek

    Dan,

    Maybe worth exploring the Preference pane for the driver option – simply select the driver for the Airport Extreme card.

  • fsy

    Ok I tried to play with the Preferences, but I cant get it to work, so my question is does this program work with the intel MacBook Pro?

    and could someone put a how to guide

    Thank you…

  • http://www.uneasysilence.com Dan

    It does work with your MacBook Pro…

    • Open KisMAC.app from Applications
    • Click KisMAC->Preferences
    • Click Driver
    • Select “Apple Airport Extreme card, passive mdoe”, and click “add” if it says anything else – remove it
    • Close Preferences
    • In the main KisMAC window click Start in the lower right, you will need to authenticate to give the application access. You should start seeing networks appear and packets being captured.

    Make sense?

  • fsy

    Dan it make perfect sense, but when I follow your instruction I get this msg.

    here is a picture of the error msg.

    Just for fun, I decided to see if I could used KisMAC to crack my (highly secure) wireless signal. I guess I need more security, because the program crakced my own connection in less than three seconds.

    Thanks for the daily dose of paranoia, Uneasy.

  • chris

    FSY,

    I get the same error im on a macbook core duo

    Last I remember, the wifi
    chip in macbook sucks, and didnt work well, but you say compiled a new one, so maybe..

  • Mark H

    FSY, you’re choosing regular (old) airport, not airport extreme.

    Jopari, you just ran it and it worked? Ive been collecting packets, but I don’t get any data packets? I’ve just moved to London, and getting internet here takes a century. It would be sweet to get this thing to work.

  • Erik

    i don’t have a macbook, so i can’t test this, but here’s a link which might help…

    Dan FTW!!

    Thanks

  • R031E5

    So, how does this thing even work? I’ve had a previous version but it didn’t support my Airport Extreme Card so I moved it to the trash.

    Anyone?

  • Erik
  • http://www.uneasysilence.com Dan

    It is beta code, so if you want it to absolutely work on your machine you will need to compile it yourself using the site Erik mentioned.

  • http://www.throwthemind.com Nathan

    Thanks for compiling this. I am glad I can put the card in passive mode. One question, have any of you been able to pick up any unique IVs. I havn’t. Guess it could be the drivers aren’t all the way working yet.

  • http://www.takeoverdesign.co.uk jase

    Iv been looking for this for so long… thank you so much!

  • mxxx

    good stuff Dan. works a treat.

  • john

    for some reason I get this when I download from your server

    Archive: KisMAC.zip
    End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
    a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
    latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
    the last disk(s) of this archive.
    unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of KisMAC.zip or
    KisMAC.zip.zip, and cannot find KisMAC.zip.ZIP, period.

    I tried it elsewhere and the same could someone post a version that is tar bziped ?

    thanks

  • Dave

    I can’t choose use as primary device on preferences …. can we infect with this version?

  • tom

    somehow i cant get to the deauthenticate step. everytime i try it says i dont have a primary injection driver choosen and that i have to choose one from the preferences dialog. but i cant check the injection packet box because it says injection is not supported but it seems to work with th usb and other wifi cards

    is the airport extreme card compatible with injection packets?

    someone help!

  • Eric

    Nope, Airport extreme card will *not* inject packets – you need a different wireless adapter. If I recall correctly, the only ones that will inject packets are Prism2 devices. I think KisMAC has a post on their page about it.

  • PAPO

    is there any way you can get an airport extreme card (from an intel core duo (not a core 2 duo) mac book pro) to inject packets at in any way at all

  • http://abandonedhero.no-ip.org AbandonedHero

    John, I think your problem is that your download was corrupted due to a network problem. Try it again.

  • matt watson

    Thanks for this build! Really is very helpful.

    Has anyone heard of any way to get our apple airport extreme in macbook pro (santa rosa generation) to capture data packets. The only packets I’ve ever seen recieved are the beacons.

    Appreciate ANY help.

  • Schwatte

    Hi,
    ive a MBP with apple airport extreme and downloaded this kismac from here.
    but its not possible for me to reinject packets.
    isnt it possible or am i doing something wrong?
    thx 4 help

  • Jeff

    I’m having the same problem as Matt. Working great for discovering networks, but it isn’t capturing any data packets.

    (Yes, there is definately data packets going across the network I’m testng)

    Anyone able to get Data packets?

    Using MacBook Core Duo 2.

  • Nils

    I’ve got the same prob as jeff.
    Sure, you are collecting packets, but no data packets.
    When I try to crack it says I need more data packets.
    Is it possible to get them? if, how?

    I’m using a MB C2D.

  • Frank the Tank

    Macbook (Intel) users: The Airport Extreme card will NOT capture data/IV packets. This is a known problem and it is being worked on. Lets hope for a fix soon.

    After receiving multiple “You don’t have sufficient data packets to…” errors when trying to crack I finally decided to actually read through the entire FAQ and found out it is a known problem with our Airport Extreme cards, so we’ll just have to wait for the patch. Perhaps a few nice donations would help motivate them ;-)

  • CK

    Hm, its strange

    i have the little character icon but it doesnt wanna seem to open.

    is it for intel macs??

  • Skicks

    Any progress on getting AE to capture packets?

  • PAPO

    how well does it support leapord

  • hector

    somebody know another program to crack wep with mac Os??

  • Roy G.

    It just keeps giving me this error message: “Could not instantiate Driver.”

  • CX

    Hi, for those having problem finding the driver in macbook pro, you need first to disactivate Airport, then launch kismac.

  • andreas

    hi,

    i have a MacBook Pro, and i’ve tried installing KisMac through SVN to compile the application.

    However, when configured in passive mode it does not see any network,,, :(

    i’ve tried following instructions from this web-page, but it does not work on my machine,,,,

    any suggestion/reference for thi kind of trouble?

  • JAFFER

    Hi, Has anyone been able to re-inject packets on MB C2D ( intel build) . I am able to detect network but injecting packets using AE is not working .

    Is there a patch available yet?

    How can i buy Prism2 device…. are there no other alternatives to crack WEP / WPA using AE and MB .

    Please suggest …. Thanks for the gud work though :- )

  • dave

    i get this message while on a four week old macbook pro

    “Could not load Monitor Mode for Airport Extreme. Drivers were not found. If you just enabled persistent passive support, you must reboot. Please note that passive mode does not work with MacBookPros and recent Mac Minis.”

    when i reboot, it says “the program mac osx has quit unexpectedly. send error report?”

    i’ve tried everything i’ve seen on this page.

  • mack

    I am running just a macbook and it says:

    “Could not enable Monitor Mode for Airport Extreme: Could not load Monitor Mode for Airport Extreme. Drivers were not found. If you just enabled persistent passive support, you must reboot. Please note that passive mode does not work with MacBookPros and recent Mac Minis.”

  • Jack Biggs

    So, when will it be available for the new MBP’s?

  • Cam

    I run a 2.2Ghz MacBook Core 2 Duo. It also says:

    Could not enable Monitor Mode for Airport Extreme.
    Could not load Monitor Mode for Airport Extreme. Drivers were not found. If you just enabled persistent passive support, you must reboot. Please note that passive mode does not work with MacBookPros and recent Mac Minis.

    This seems to be the same problem as Mack and Dave.

  • Josh L

    I’m on a MB Core 2 duo, and when I turn off the APE card and launch KisMAC, then hit “start” I get this message:
    “KisMAC was able to load the driver backend for the Airport Extreme Card, but it was unable to create an interface. Make sure your capture device is properly plugged in. If you think everything is correct, you can try to restart your computer. Maybe your console.log and system.log show more details.”

    Well I restarted, and it helped nil. Also, both the .log files had nothing to speak of. I think i’m going to see if I can get it to work in active mode, but it certainly doesn’t in passive. Any ideas? Fixes?

  • Josh L

    OK. Update here. 5 seconds after posting I switched to active mode in prefs and it worked. I hope that has something to do with helping me in passive mode? Anyone?

  • Joakim

    I’m on a MBP and have chosen the airport extreme passive mode but I can´t choose primary injection driver. Is there any way I can do that?

    I want to crack a password but don’t get it to work…
