Hello everyone. I'm new here and have some questions, maybe you guys can help. I have been researching how to crack Wifi passwords (I've been trying to crack my own Wifi) and it seems like every method I research is out dated. I'm not sure if something is going over my head but "fern" was a popular option seems like it only cracks 1990's passwords before they started using complex passwords. I created a word list and put about a hundred random passwords and slipped my actual Wifi password in the list and the attack was running for a little over an hour before I just quit the process. I am a bit new to this so forgive the dumb questions, I'm just not sure how to actually crack a password. Every video I watch it doesn't seem like they have updated ways to crack today's passwords. Any suggestions to get my looking in the right direction? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hey! Hash cracking is typically a slow process, especially WPA hashes. The go-to hashcracking tool these days is Hashcat. If you can run it on a GPU powered machine you’ll get vastly improved speeds. -
That's easy, if you run on GPU machine...i can help youComment

It depends from where are u doing to crack it, let's imagine that how the "ishaq100" said: if you run on GPU machine you can decrease the required time to crack the password. If u are on Linux (i supposed), you can run "lspci | grep -i nvidia" in order to verify if you have a GPU installed on your computer, after that, you have to install the NVIDIA Driver and CUDA Toolkit. And verify if your hashcat recognize your GPU as a second device to crack the password. If u are running Windows, you can do the same, install NVIDIA Driver + CUDA Toolkit and Hashcat.
Important: Remove your hashcat before install nvidia driver and cuda, and reinstall it after that.Last edited by s1lversurfer; October 1, 2025, 09:12.Comment
