Been messing about most of the day testing my router security......and quite frankly, it is shit

Been trying to crack a 64bit WEP key, and i've been testing it to see what the average number of IVs that are needed to crack it.

I tried 60,000 and that didn't work, then i tried 380,000 and it resulted in this

2 seconds to crack a WEP key from the .cap file

Great fun to play about with i tell thee

 

Seems like a great laugh

 

changing mine to wpa tonight

Then might have a go at this cracking myself
i have a few neighbours that insist on using channel 6, and i use channel 1 and 6, they should have the decency to all just use 11 and disturb each other instead of me.

The unprotected ones are on 11 in my neighbourhoud

What capturing program did you use ? and what did you use to get the code out of the cap file ?

 

no idea what you're talking about!!

but how hard to crack a password on an ECU Spence (omex)? you seem to be the man in the know!

 

Is this the stuff I should use to encrypt my broad band at home?

lol

maybe I wont bother then!

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?

 

fudge factor?

 

lol its just the speed at which is cracks. Too fast and it usually fails, too slow and it takes far too long. Fudg factor 2 is just right

 

and where can I download this aircrack ? just so i can test my network you understand.

 

its available from the link i gave you for free. Not pirate, just beggerware

Depending on which chipset your wifi card has, you will need to download the right ISO

All the tools you need are in the auditor security collection CD
