Can free wifi be hacked?
In the past few months, I have had some very interesting conversations on how to hack wifi.
Specifically, I have been discussing with some of the most knowledgable security experts in the world. The point is that if you want to hack wifi, it is not as easy as you may think. There are a lot of layers, and a lot of checks and balances to get through before you can access someone's wifi.e. That being said, there are ways to break in.
Now, I know that hackers are everywhere. Everyone that has a computer and internet access has a hacker lurking around in the back. So why does it seem like a relatively simple thing to break into someone's wifi? This is because all it takes is one stupid mistake to crack your way into someone's home or office. Most of the time the hacker is just looking for something to steal. He doesn't care about you.
So let's start at the beginning. You can't just log onto someone's wifi without an account. So how do you get an account? You need to log onto their network and get a username and password. How do you get these? Well, most likely you just need to click on the login button. But how can you click on the login button when you don't even know their password? Well, let's say they are using WPA2. This is when you can break in. If you don't know what this means, then please google WPA2. Then keep going.
So, in order to hack their wifi, you need to first crack their password. Here are a few ways to do this: Hack their login. When I am trying to break into someone's wifi, I always start by trying to figure out what login they use. Often this will be their email address.
For example, let's say they use "user@company.com". So, if you know their email address, you can go to any random website and just send them an email. What you want is their email address in plain text. To find this, you would simply use a google search and type in their email address. Then you would click on the first result, which would be a link to their email account. Then you would simply enter the plain text email into your browser and hit enter. It's that easy.
