Wi-Fi WPA & WPA2 Encryption Cracking Guide
- First of all, you must start the wi-fi scan and connect an 8 dBi antenna for the best range possible.
- Once it starts scanning, you will see several WPA and WPA2 networks on the list. It is important for you to look for the signal power of the network that you want to target. It is recommended for you to have at least 15 or higher in signal power in order to successfully sniff the handshake and crack your targeted WPA or WPA2 network.
- Cracking a WPA or WPA2 network is different from cracking WEP—which means it will not just crack in a matter of minutes. Instead, you need to capture a connection handshake from a valid user that connects to the WPA or WPA2 network and then Bruteforce his connection with authority. The Portable Penetrator will assist you with this by providing 300% enforced speed and overly large dictionaries in many languages.
- There are two ways to get the handshake if there are users connected. The handshake gets captured whenever someone connects to the wi-fi network.
- If there are no users connected to the network, you must be patient and wait for someone to connect in order to capture the WPA or WPA2 handshake that can be cracked. Otherwise, you won't be able to crack the encryption.
- If there is one or several users connected to the WPA or WPA2, simply select the network and target one of the users. From there, create a quick DOS attack at one of the connected users to force that user to disconnect and reconnect. Through this method, you'll capture the handshake. Usually, the user will not even notice anything when you do the attack.
- When you have the handshake, the cracking will begin with the selected dictionaries. A good crack will run with 1,300 keys a second, which is equivalent to millions of cracks within a few hours.
- If the password was not found in the dictionary you selected, you can select another dictionary. It is recommended for you to start by selecting your native language dictionary or choosing a hefty 780 megabyte dictionary file for better cracking performance.

The Portable Penetrator: Wi-Fi Security Auditing
With the Portable Penetrator, you can audit and crack the WEP, WPA, and WPA2 wi-fi standards with relative ease. Furthermore, it is highly recommended for you to use the Portable Penetrator to audit your wi-fi network as regularly as possible in order to guarantee that no hackers or crackers can compromise or invade it.
