# Can a Chromebook hack a Wi-Fi network?

Can a Chromebook hack a Wi-Fi [network](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/342247/choosing-the-right-business-network-solution-for-growth)?

## Answers

### Answer by Hitesh Vohra

- **No, [Chromebooks](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/97260/what-are-chromebooks)** aren't actually 'good' for anything, including hacking wifi. The reason for this is that your options are limited unless you can dual-boot into another OS. My best guess is to download the lightweight version of Kali Linux and replace the default operating system with it.
- It's absolutely possible that your router has been hacked and you are completely unaware of it. Hackers can compromise the security of your home Wi-Fi network using a technique known as DNS (Domain Name Server) hijacking and potentially chevalier you.
