Musthyala, Harish, Reddy, P. Nagarjuna.  2021.  Hacking wireless network credentials by performing phishing attack using Python Scripting. 2021 5th International Conference on Intelligent Computing and Control Systems (ICICCS). :248—253.
The availability of number of open-source hacking tools over the internet and many hacking tools in-built with the Kali Linux operating system led to easy understanding and performing hacking by individuals. Even though, hacking the Wi-Fi passwords is considered a tedious task with open-source tools, they can be hacked easily with phishing. Phishing involves tricking the users with malicious emails and obtaining sensitive information from them. This paper describes the different wireless security protocols and tools for hacking wireless networks. A python script is developed which can be sent as phishing to get all the SSID's and passwords to which the system has been connected. The script has been executed and the results are presented.
