@Stormvirux now for the trick question... if the software to do this is in our own ubuntu software center is there then need to ask that question? — Rinzwind, Aug 08 '13 at 19:18
"Cracking a WiFi" doesn't sound like a legal request anywhere. — guntbert, Sep 06 '15 at 20:35
@guntbert: One might want to crack their own Wifi for academic purposes. I attended a workshop with that exact aim. — David Foerster, Sep 08 '15 at 11:58
@DavidFoerster theoretically true, but I expect a different attitude from someone trying to learn. — guntbert, Sep 08 '15 at 12:06

For finding WEP/WPA keys you can use aircrack-ng. It is in the repositories:

sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng

There is also kismet

sudo apt-get install kismet

Thanks for your reply. But Show me the process. Somewhere in the web I read that both tools are not work properly and create problems. So, what would be the easy solution? – apu boss Aug 09 '13 at 07:00

"But Show me the process" well personally I would not want you near my wireless and I can imagine others feel the same >:-D I can tell you it does work but it is not an "works out of the box" tool. It requires a good setup and mosttimes that setup only applies to your case. I would continue this here: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=338 :-) – Rinzwind Aug 09 '13 at 14:59
