WPA is much more secure than WEP

WEP = Wired Equvilant Privacy, which in short means 'WEP is about as safe as an ethernet jack on the front of your house '

I used the auditor security CD (installed on HDD) It is absolutely packed with tools for WEP/WPA/Bluetooth cracking.

Find it here: www.remote-exploit.org

To crack WEP is rather simple, just set your wifi card to monitor mode, run airodump to start capturing IV's to a .cap file, then run aireplay to capture a packet on the network, and replay it tricking the router into thinking its an authentic request from a network computer.

That aggitates the router to send out IV's at the rate of 1000 every 10 seconds or so, but if you are cracking a router with loads of traffic, it can be faster

Once you have about 300,000 Iv's that should be enough for 64bit WEP and for 128bit i would wait till i had 700,000 before attempting to crack it.

Anyway, Load the .cap file with Aircrack and let it do the work for you

I;m sure you don't need to be told that this stuff is highly illigal, so this information i am giving is for network administrators who wish to test their own network security

P.s Ballin, what you mean?
