How to Download / Install WPSCrackGUI on BackTrack or Ubuntu

WPSCrackGUI is based on Reaver and it is one of the easiest GUI packages to hack on Linux, it is also the nicest looking. Through this package you can active monitor mode on your WiFi card and scan for networks using:


• Wash (WPS networks only)
• WPSpy (WPS networks only)
• WPScan (WPS networks only)
• Airodump-ng (All encryption types)


You also have the option to change / spoof your MAC address through the app as well specify a specific channel and SSID.



Download this deb (password is dishingtechand place it on your desktop in BackTrack or Ubuntu system.


Then in terminal type

cd Desktop (push enter)
dpkg -i '/root/Desktop/wpscrackgui_1.1.7-1_airubuntu.deb' (push enter)



After you have installed it, you will find the file in ~root/usr/bin/WPSCrackGUI.gambas


I suggest that you make a shortcut desktop icon so it is easily accessible.


Alternatively you can install it by searching the Symantec Package Manager for WPSCrackGUI and installing it that way. If you have BackTrack DishingTech Edition, it is already installed for you.


Check out more information though the developer ARG-Wireless and if you are wanting to install this on another linux based system or looking for updates, there are builds specific on Sourceforge.


Another good thing is that you can access the session files within the app, check to see if WPS is active on the WPA / WPA2 network and another of other features that I cannot understand as the app does not fully translate into other languages completely. Speaking of which....


Why is it not in English?
One issue is that it is not in English by default. You can change the language by clicking on your keyboard:


Ctrl + Shift + E for Spanish
Ctrl + Shift + I for English
Ctrl + Shift + F for French



Or use your mouse and click languages on the menu.
