As a disclaimer, this show is not meant to promote or condone illegal hacking/cracking activities. It is for educational purposes only.

In the tenth and final episode of the first season of Kali Linux 2017 Wireless Penetration Testing for Beginners, titled "Hacking/Cracking Our Way into the Target," viewers are taken through a step-by-step process of conducting a successful wireless network penetration test. The episode delves into the tools and techniques used to hack and crack into a network, expose vulnerabilities, and secure the system.

The episode starts with the host, Zach, emphasizing the importance of obtaining legal permission before conducting any penetration testing. He then proceeds to demonstrate how to use Kali Linux's built-in tools for identifying a target's open ports, identifying the target's wireless access points, and cracking the target's wireless encryption using commonly-used methods such as WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WEP, and more.

Viewers are shown how to use the Aircrack-ng suite, a set of tools used for auditing wireless networks, to detect wireless networks and perform packet injection. With Aircrack-ng, Zach illustrates different techniques such as deauthentication and spoofing attack to crack into the wireless networks. In addition to the Aircrack-ng tool, Zach also uses tools such as Reaver and Pixiewps to infiltrate the target's access points.

As the episode progresses, the viewers are shown how to utilize additional tools in Kali Linux such as Metasploit, Nmap, and John the Ripper to penetrate deeper into the network and extract sensitive information. Zach then emphasizes the importance of reconnaissance and proper documentation of findings throughout the testing process.

The episode concludes with Zach reminding viewers of the ethical implications of penetration testing and stresses the importance of obtaining the necessary permissions before undertaking such activities.

Overall, "Hacking/Cracking Our Way into the Target" is an informative episode that walks viewers through the basics of conducting a wireless penetration test using Kali Linux tools. The episode highlights the importance of following ethical guidelines and obtaining legal permission before embarking on such activities. For beginners, this episode serves as a great starting point to understand how hackers are able to exploit vulnerabilities in wireless networks.
