Today WIFI became one of the vital thing in a home, because of its good uninterrupted connection, speed, bandwidth and etc. Since it is widely used, lot of hacking tools and penetrating methods for WIFI are easily available in internet. So Firstly I'll explain how these people hack your wifi.
There are many ways your WIFI can be hacked, to get basic idea I'll show you some methods.
1. Using Mobile applications like WPS/WPA Tester . This app is developed to check the vulnerability of your router. Since I personally used it, I'll tell you my experience
I come to know about this app by one of my friend, so I gave it a try, at the very time I used it and I connected my friend phone to my WIFI without the password, I was wondering how could a device connect to a WIFI without a password, then why the hell I had to set a password to my WIFI. And he also said that if the device is rooted you can also see the router password, so again I tried it too, and you know what, it spitted my password on the screen.
So to check this app further me and my friend gave a walk on my street and checked this app with my neighbors WIFI and we successfully cracked 6 out of 10 passwords of my neighbors WIFI. So then what I did to Save my WIFI from this thing, I'll Explain Down.
And with some additional app like zanti you can spy on WIFI users like what websites they are using which apps they are using even they can extract the passwords etc.
2. Since I was Fascinated of hacking WIFI I also Come across similar things Which ill just say the names :- BCmon and Rever for APK this is another illegal app used to do Bruteforce attack on WIFI. Similarly, Airmon and other Linux application are used to do the same thing on WIFI.
