It is possible to hack Wi-Fi, but without extreme patience and the necessary knowledge it's more accurately described as impossible. Even for a professional hacker it is time-consuming and requires skill and dedication, and there is no guarantee that their efforts will be rewarded should a secondary antivirus, firewall or encryption get in the way, so it's not something anyone does on a whim.
We're going to assume you found this article by searching for ‘How to Hack Wi-Fi’, and that you will therefore have seen a great number of fraudulent sites offering software that can crack any Wi-Fi code.
Be warned: these software programs are often riddled with malware and have tracking cookies within them to monitor your installation and use of the program. We highly recommend not downloading any such program, let alone performing an illegal act by attempting to hack someone’s Wi-Fi connection.
If you decide to ignore this excellent advice, then you'll probably be running a Linux distro from a USB flash drive to avoid dodgy software downloads destroying your Windows installation and using tools such as Aircrack-ng to try and brute-force a network.
But as we said, this is neither easy nor quick. You'll have to be able to use the command line and have plenty of time to spare: such tools take hours before they return a password.
So if you're stuck somewhere with no free public Wi-Fi and want some free internet, you're probably not going to have enough time to crack the password of any of the networks around you.
thanks.
