Kali Linux has long been known as a specialized operating system for penetration testing and cybersecurity. One tool that often gets attention is Bully, an effective tool for attacking Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) on Wi-Fi networks. In this article, we will discuss Bully in depth, how it works, and the steps to use it on Kali Linux.

What is Bully?

Bully is an open-source tool designed to exploit weaknesses in the WPS protocol. WPS is a feature on Wi-Fi routers that allows devices to easily connect to a network without having to enter a long password. While WPS is intended to make things easier for users, it can also be a significant security hole.

Bully is designed to attack WPS methods that use PINs. This tool is able to run brute-force attacks to try various PIN combinations until it finds the right one, allowing access to a Wi-Fi network without knowing the master password.

Bully Key Features

• Brute Force WPS PIN: Bully uses a brute-force method to find the correct WPS PIN.

• Compatibility: This tool can be used on various Wi-Fi chipsets supported by Kali Linux.

• Efficiency: Bully is able to run attacks quickly and efficiently, utilizing various optimization methods to speed up the brute force process.

• Fast Response: Bully can detect and respond to error messages from the target device, which helps speed up the attack process.

Installing Bully on Kali Linux

To use Bully, you need to make sure that your Kali Linux is up to date. Here are the steps to install Bully on Kali Linux:

1. Update System

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

2. Install Bully

sudo apt install bully

After the installation is complete, you can immediately use Bully from the terminal.

How to Use Bully on Kali Linux

Using Bully is quite simple, but you need to have compatible hardware, such as a Wi-Fi adapter that supports monitor mode.

1. Put Wi-Fi Adapter into Monitor Mode

sudo airmon-ng start wlan0

Replace wlan0 with your Wi-Fi interface name.

2. Scan for WPS-Enabled Networks

sudo wash -i wlan0mon

This command will display a list of WPS-enabled networks. Note the BSSID of the network you want to attack.

3. Running Bully

sudo bully -b [BSSID] -c [Channel] -v wlan0mon

Replace [BSSID] with the BSSID of the target network and [Channel] with the channel the network uses.

4. Monitoring the Process

Bully will start trying different WPS PINs. This process can take a few minutes to a few hours depending on the signal strength and complexity of the PIN.

Tips and Tricks for Using Bully

• Network Distance: Make sure you are close enough to the target network to ensure a strong signal.
• Avoid Detection: Use Bully’s various options to hide your activity and avoid detection by the network owner.
• Target Selection: Choose a network with the strongest signal and WPS enabled to speed up the brute force process.

Legality and Ethics

It is important to remember that using Bully or similar tools to access Wi-Fi networks without authorization is illegal and unethical. These tools should only be used for educational purposes and security testing on networks that you own or have permission to test.

Conclusion

Bully in Kali Linux is a powerful tool for testing WPS vulnerabilities on Wi-Fi networks. By understanding how Bully works and how to use it, you can raise awareness about the importance of network security and take steps to protect your network from similar attacks. Always use this tool ethically and in accordance with applicable laws.
