Greetings Hackers,

Welcome to the latest edition of the Hacker Associate Newsletter! We are thrilled to bring you updates and resources from our latest Smartwatches Hacking event [ Offensive ioT Hacking & Security ]

1?? Ticwatch pro can connect to wifi?

What do you think?

Yes, the TicWatch Pro can connect to Wi-Fi. It supports Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing it to connect to wireless networks for internet access and other network-related functions.

2?? Can the TicWatch Pro scan nearby Wi-Fi networks?

Yes, the TicWatch Pro can scan for nearby Wi-Fi networks. It has the built-in capability to detect and display available Wi-Fi networks in its vicinity. You can typically access this feature through the watch's settings menu to connect to a Wi-Fi network.

Note:

"We understand that a smartwatch can connect to Wi-Fi and also scan networks."        

Now Next Question?

3?? Can the TicWatch Pro capture handshake for wifi?

Big No, the TicWatch Pro cannot natively capture Wi-Fi handshakes.

The smartwatch's built-in Wi-Fi hardware is not designed to support advanced features like monitor mode or packet injection, which are essential for capturing WPA/WPA2 handshakes during Wi-Fi penetration testing.

Why It Can't Capture Handshakes:

1. Lack of Monitor Mode: Monitor mode allows a device to listen to all Wi-Fi traffic in the area, which is required to capture handshakes. The TicWatch Pro's Wi-Fi chipset does not support this feature.
2. No Packet Injection: Packet injection is often used to deauthenticate devices from a network to force a handshake capture. The TicWatch Pro lacks this capability.
3. Hardware Limitations: The TicWatch Pro is designed for general-purpose tasks like fitness tracking, notifications, and basic connectivity, not for advanced network security tasks.

Workaround with Kali NetHunter

If you install Kali NetHunter on the TicWatch Pro, you might be able to use it as a control device for penetration testing. However:

• You would need an external Wi-Fi adapter that supports monitor mode and packet injection, which the TicWatch Pro cannot power or connect to due to hardware limitations.
• Even with NetHunter installed, the TicWatch Pro's internal Wi-Fi hardware cannot perform handshake captures.

Note2:

"Now you’re asking and wondering how it’s possible, as shown in the video above, where the smartwatch captures a handshake and is able to crack the Wi-Fi password."

Let's decode this:

The attacker used two tools together to execute the attack. Here are the details:

• A smartwatch, as shown in the video, with NetHunter installed on it.
• A Kali NetHunter phone.

4?? How does the attacker capture the Wi-Fi handshake and crack the password?"

Step 1: The attacker established an SSH connection from the smartwatch to the Kali NetHunter phone.

Step 2: The Kali NetHunter phone was connected to multiple wireless adapters, such as ALFA cards supporting 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies, among others.

Step 3: The attacker utilized an automation script on the Kali NetHunter phone to capture the handshake of the target Wi-Fi network. The captured handshake was then transferred to the smartwatch via SCP (Secure Copy Protocol).

Step 4: Using a dictionary or wordlist stored on the smartwatch, the attacker attempted to crack the Wi-Fi password. However, this process is significantly slower on a smartwatch due to its limited processing power.

With storage capacities typically ranging from 4GB to 8GB, the smartwatch can crack simple passwords, such as numeric combinations or poorly configured ones. For more complex passwords, the attacker would rely on the phone's higher processing power or use online cracking services.

Focusing on limitations:

"Due to limited resources, the smartwatch is only effective against simple passwords."

"Smartwatch cracking is feasible for basic passwords, but impractical for complex ones."

"The smartwatch's limited processing power restricts its password-cracking capabilities."

"In future versions of the smartwatch, it may become possible to crack even complex passwords."

Highlighting alternative methods:

"For more robust password cracking, the phone or online services are necessary."

"Complex passwords require the processing power of a phone or online cracking tools."

"The phone or online resources provide the necessary power for advanced password cracking."

Combining both:

"While the smartwatch can crack simple passwords, more complex ones necessitate the use of the phone or online services."

"The smartwatch's limited capabilities make it suitable for basic passwords only, with the phone or online services handling more complex scenarios."

5?? WPS Attacks on the TicWatch Pro 3 with NetHunter

What Are WPS Attacks?

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) attacks exploit vulnerabilities in the WPS protocol, which is designed to simplify the process of connecting devices to a Wi-Fi network. The most common attack is a brute-force attack on the WPS PIN, which can potentially reveal the Wi-Fi password.

How WPS Attacks Work:

1. WPS PIN Brute-Forcing: The attacker repeatedly guesses the WPS PIN until the correct one is found. Once the PIN is cracked, the Wi-Fi password can be retrieved.
2. Pixie Dust Attack: A faster attack that exploits weak random number generation in some WPS implementations to derive the PIN without brute-forcing.

After installing Kali NetHunter on the TicWatch Pro 3, you can perform WPS attacks using the tools provided in the NetHunter suite. However, there are significant limitations:

1. Hardware Constraints: The TicWatch Pro 3 does not have a Wi-Fi chipset capable of monitor mode or packet injection, which are often required for advanced Wi-Fi attacks. External Wi-Fi adapters are not supported due to power and hardware limitations, as noted in the "Hardware Limitations" section of the page.
2. Practicality: WPS attacks demand significant computational resources, which the TicWatch Pro 3 lacks. However, when used in conjunction with a phone, the process becomes much easier. Additionally, the smartwatch's small screen and limited input options make executing complex commands less efficient..
3. Legal and Ethical Considerations: Unauthorized WPS attacks are illegal and unethical. These tools are intended for ethical penetration testing in environments where you have explicit permission.
