Hacking wireless
In category Geebin on 07 Dec 2005 @ 01:28 pm
** PLEASE NOTE **
I am not causing any damage. I am merely on a fact-finding mission over the various wireless networks that exist around the house here.
To start with, access points with no WEP and default router passwords are not a challenge at all. All this started because there was somone else in the immediate area using Roe's wireless with my IP address and as a result I was being harassed about an IP conflict.
There are 2 'protected' routers in the area too. One 802.11/b and the other is 802.11/g. I have a b/g card so there may be some in 802.11/a but I wouldn't be able to see them. SSID for these 2 AP's are also being broadcast. They have WEP enabled, may have MAC filtering, and might have non-default router passwords. The router passwords are possible to crack with a HTTP password cracker that are available freely on the internet so I won't bother explain how to find these. As for cracking the WEP, I do have time but I want to find the quickest possible way to crack these tonight.
Now is the time for you to all speak up. I'm using Windows so Airsnort is out of the question until they have a working Windows version. Is there any other options available to me without breaking any, (too many) laws? I know Airopeek by Wildpackets can potentially crack WEP but this program retails for just shy of USD$3000 which is just a bit freaking unreasonable. I'm sure Im not the only one with this problem so let me know what you use.
I'm going to start crawling the internet for the night to see what I can see and see what exists on places like Sourceforge and various *cough* legitimate Russian servers.

sef recommends the win32 port of aircrack with packets collected with the (very shoddy) port of airodump. set airodump to log iv's only (saves hdd space, presumedly you don't want to read a backlog of data because that's even sketchier), run aircrack with as many flags to narrow it down as you can and it usually doesn't take too long, given enough data and an AP that throws dumb iv's.
not that he has experience in anything as shifty as wep cracking.
but yeah, the point does stand that even attempting to crack wep is against australian (and to my knowledge, american) law.

I can also perform basic maintenance tasks around the home and rescue people from drowning.

For anyone else looking for all the tools plus many more, try http://www.michiganwireless.org/tools/ or trawl all of sourceforge.net for heaps of semi-working crap.
