Pyrit has many tools that are useful for hackers and pentesters besides just cracking passwords, and today, we'll use a few of those tools to help us play a capture-the-flag Wi-Fi hacking game.

Don't Miss: Automating Wi-Fi Hacking with Besside-ng.

You can always attempt it by following Pyrit's guide on GitHub for instructions, but I wasn't able to get it working correctly on either laptop I tried it on, at the time of this writing. You may get lucky in that the GPU of your computer already is compatible with Pyrit, but getting the GPU acceleration working is an unfun process that I'll leave to those of you brave enough. Once GPU acceleration is enabled, Pyrit is one of the fastest tools available for WPA password-cracking out there. It's dependent on your computer's hardware, and thus the setup process will depend on the type of GPU you have and whether you choose to use OpenCL or CUDA.

While we won't be using GPU cracking today, Pyrit is capable of using a compatible GPU to crack passwords even faster. Choosing a Wi-Fi password that is difficult to guess is very important, because, with a good password list and a program like Pyrit, even huge password lists can be searched through in a matter of minutes. That's because anyone can join a WPA-encrypted Wi-Fi network provided they know the password, allowing an attacker direct access to other devices on the network and network traffic in general.

Wi-Fi is incredibly convenient but comes with inherent security problems that make using it riskier than a wired alternative. To demonstrate how quickly it can hack a WPA/WPA2 password, we'll use it to play a Wi-Fi hacking CTF game anyone can practice for less than $10. Pyrit is one of the most powerful WPA/WPA2 cracking tools in a hacker's arsenal, with the ability to benchmark a computer's CPU speeds, analyze capture files for crackable handshakes, and even tap into GPU password-cracking power.
