What is Li-Fi and how is it 100 times faster than Wi-Fi?

BBnokEZ
Just as you thought 4G or 5G LTE would finish off Wi-Fi once and for all, Li-Fi appears on the scene to rock its status.
Wi-Fi has been great but it's already being outdone in 5G tests and now on a more local scale Li-Fi is 100 times faster, and more secure.
Li-Fi uses light to transmit data rather than Wi-Fi's radiowaves. Although this was still in the testing phases not long ago it's already set to reach the public.
So how can Li-Fi be so fast and is it really the death of Wi-Fi?

Li-Fi uses light for faster transmission

By using visible light to transmit data Li-Fi is able to increase bandwidth by 100 times. This equates to downloading 18 movies at 1.5GB each, in a single second.
Lab tests revealed that the Li-Fi connection could transmit up to 224 gigbits per second. Now in real world use scientists have reportedly managed to hit a whopping 1GB per second of data transmission.
This was first discovered in 2011 at the University of Edinburgh by Harold Haas. He showed that flickering the light from an LED could transmit more data than a cellular tower.
The current iteration uses Visible Light Communication (VLC) which is light between 400 and 800 terahertz. It's a bit like switching a light on and off for Morse code, or more accurately, to send the ones and zeros of binary bits.

Li-Fi should appear alongside Wi-Fi

It looks like Wi-Fi may not be endangered after all. Li-Fi's creators admit that with Wi-Fi so deeply built into society, replacing it would be unrealistic. Instead they're working on ways to retrofit it to current systems.
So it's likely that in the future we could jump between mobile network data connection, Wi-Fi and Li-Fi seamlessly from our smartphones, for example.
Haas and his team have launched a brand called PureLiFi which offers plug and play access currently limited to 11.5MB per second.
The point of Li-Fi right now is that light is unable to pass through walls. Rather than this being a range disadvantage it's being touted as a positive for security. For this reason companies are looking into implementing Li-Fi in offices. Another reason is that Li-Fi should also suffer far less from interference of multiple devices on the same network.
French company Oledcomm is installing its own Li-Fi technology in local hospitals.

The future is bright for Li-Fi

The world of tomorrow may be one where light and internet access are provided from the same point.
Haas said: "In the future we will not only have 14 billion light bulbs, we may have 14 billion Li-Fis deployed worldwide for a cleaner, greener, and even brighter future."

            In this post we tell you how to crack wpa/wpa2 wi-fi in kali linux using crunch to do this first you should install kalinux or you can use live kalilinux. To make a kali-linux bootable  click here            To crack wi-fi first you need a computer with kalilinux and a wireless card which supports monitor/injection mode.If your wireless card is not capable of that then you need to buy one external wireless card which is capable of monitor/injection mode.             Apart from them you need to have a word-list to crack the password from the captured packets.             First you need to understand how wifi works,wifi transmits signal in the form of packets in air so we need to capture all the packets in air so we use airodump to dump all the packets in air.after that we should see that if any one connected to the victim wifi or if anyone is not connected the wifi cracking is not possible,Because we need wpa handshake.We can capture handshake by sending deauthentic
