WEP testing


Recommended Posts

hello I was testing my wireless earlier and when matching up the packets with a word list it said i should try using 5000 IVs or PVs cant remember lol one of the two... when airdump failed any ideas what the IV(orPV) stands for lol?

IV - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initialization_vector

BTW - I sure hope you were just testing how easy it to hack WEP, and not actually using it - WEP can be hacked in a matter of a few seconds when your using the correct tools and know what your doing.

Also if your looking to play with this stuff, I would highly recommend BackTrack (has all the tools you will need in one distro ready to rock) and this book

Normally you would want more like 15K IVs if not 20K -- using a simple exploit you should be able to generate these in a mater of a few seconds.. No need to wait for anything ;)

backtrack should have some simple wizards you can use, I know for sure that over at my mother in laws house for fun one night when I had my laptop with me I ran the wizard and it broke 3 wep networks in like 30 seconds ;)

She is in a condo -- there is like 20 some wireless networks in range. Lots of them WEP :rolleyes:

edit: Happy to help you figure out what is not working, but try with more IVs!! Like 20K of them - prob going to have is if go into any specific details this thread will be locked! No matter if just talking about hacking your own network for fun and understanding. This sort of topic not really in line with neowin policy.

depends on how your doing it..

Normally you would use couple instances of aireplay-ng to create more traffic faster while also capturing the traffic with airodump-ng, and then after you have enough data you would use aircrack-ng against the capture file you made.

Not going to walk you through a hack in on thread in neowin, like I said its against their policy.. Just do a simple google and all the info you want is there. Not sure what version of BT your using but that use to have a script to do it all for you ;)

Tell you what -- I haven't played with it in a while, when I get home tonight I will fire up latest version and of BT and do a walk through for you hacking my network (I'll put it in wep mode for the few minutes needed to hack) ;) which I will PM to you. No way would I post that - even tough to be honest any 8 year old and basic google skills can find all the info they need in like 20 seconds.

I don't know if this will help, but like 5 plus years ago when I cracked my WEP WiFi it was easier to do it on Linux than on windows, since linux supported a lot more wireless cards for the air tools. It doesn't take that long to crack WEP, only took me 10 minutes in fact. Sorry I can't be of more help, I haven't done this kind of stuff for a long time.
