would this work, if so where can i get this free, just for educational and personal use? :nenau

yes but not as simple as clicking as that's just got linux installed. Probably backtrack, Search it online. There is stuff out there that is simple to use to crack WEP, Click and wait for password type of thing.

WPA will only be cracked by trying dictionary attacks, Basicly trying different word/number configurations.

Definitely not automatic. It's just a big collection of software apps that in unison can provide enough information to achieve a network password. You can probably obtain most or similar apps for free if you search the internet, you just need to get to grips with how each one works and what it achieves. Interesting subject for research purposes :augie

Agreed. Get what you need off the net for free.

you're kidding? links to the many applications required to hack wifi passwords?? no!:naughty

seriously though, what is it you want to do?

Just google the list of programs on the ebay ad, one by one and see what you get. The first one i did to wet your appetite a little, others aren't so obvious and take a bit of reading. Good luck and happy researching :thumbs

Debian or Fedora are the kings of OS's

yes, OS choice is tricky, id be leaning towards putty and some hardware that supports what you want to do! Just bear in mind, no matter what anyone claims, this sort of thing just isnt that simple.

Theres a bit of hardware that you can buy and think runs on windows. Very basic and cracks WEP encryption with a few clicks.

Most cracking is done via the GPU and not the CPU. WEP is not very secure and can be done in 10 to 15 mins. Use at least WPA2 with at least 20 characters. This only slows down the process. Nothing is really secure. David

he's lost me there, GPU is Graphics Processing Unit....WEP cracking certainly uses CPU, how else would it monitor packets of the target wireless access point to then begin the process of cracking the WEP key?

my software runs via linux in RAM, so doesnt use the GPU other than to display what I need to see. Confused.com./

also, these days, most WEP keys are 128bit-this takes far longer than 10-15 mins to crack, purely because of the amount of packets required.

I havent had to do this for about a year, so im going to go away and crack my own test lab wireless environment. I be back.

I seem to have inadvertantly ruffled a few feathers, but with a look on google at cracking passwords you may find I am not far away from fact. The hardcore Blackhats are mostly crime oriented and work in eastern Europe.
But again WEP is a dead duck for security on wifi,WPA is more secure, longer passwords the better at least 20 characters. AES is the dog's b******* but most of us don't have use of a radius server. This is WPA-801.2x
Even using linux is not entirley safe on the web as Wirenet trojan will nick your passwords.
We are mere players on the web, Blackhats are evil bastards. David.

i think the answer here really is, the regular chaps among us wont be cracking no WEP key, it just simply isnt that simple unless you are able to learn how to use the various software tools required (Aircrack-ng, wireshark, commview etc etc etc) and use that data to crack a key. the time it takes is also a factor, quite simply you have to be adept with the software if you want to crack someones WEp key, but most people just dont use them (although scanning my neighbours now i found one using WEP, so I had a quick look at their packets-can see they are using an iPhone lol).

The USB pen on ebay just has a ton of the software, which is all well and good-its USING that software thats the problem!

also, its illegal I believe, hacking anybodies network without their permission? so just be careful, if you try to hack, you too can be hacked!

all good fun.

p.s. no feathers ruffled here at all, its complex but interesting topic!

No there is a simple bit of hardware out to do that for regular chaps, I will find out once I get the name of it.

Also 128bit wep does take about 10 mins to do with linux
clivvy
02-09-2012, 20:52
yes, there is hardware, but its not cheap compared to free software, and STILL requires a level of knowledge to use. Again, cracking wep in linux 10 mins or not still requires a novice to learn how to use it in the first place.

moved thread to pub, as not a newbee question or poster, Plank?

guys please note that hacking, or obtaining someone else's wifi whether
locked or open without permission is illegal, folks have been prosecuted
recently, even where the network was open and in effect the owner
was also responsible for ease of access.

my mate has one and it pretty much is. WEP is easy, WPA takes longer and you need to use a dictionary (google it).

never head of most, no any, of the stuff you lot have come up with so no I don't use them :augie
