Below are some dictionaries that can be used with Backtrack or Kali Linux. They are plain Wordlist dictionaries used to brute force WPA/WPA2 data captures with aircrack-ng.
These are dictionaries that have been floating around for some time now and are here for you to practice with. Once you get good at using a dictionary,and if these don’t crack the password for you, it would be a good idea to make your own with Crunch.
I have also included Wordlist that come pre-installed with Backtrack and Kali called darkc0de.lst and rockyou.txt
Due to bandwidth and storage limitations I am using free file sharing services Mediafire, Openload, and 4shared to store the files for download.
Wireless Pen testing requires an adapter that can go into monitor mode.
