Using aireplay attack 0
2008-01-14 16:05:00 We are almost done now. If your IV count is flying up, then you can skip this step. If not, read on. If you followed up until now, you should a few windows open. One is running airodump, another is running aireplay attack 3. The last one ran aireplay attack 1, and if it worked, then you're back at the prompt now. At the prompt, Type : aireplay-ng -0 10 -e 07B402920894 rausb0 I'll explain the More About: Attack , Replay
Using aireplay attack 1
2008-01-13 17:08:00 The simplest scenario is when these attacks, 1 and 0, work together. There are situations when attack 1 will not work (i.e. MAC filtering is on), but it will work most of the time, and it's real quick. Currently, if you're following along, you should have 2 Konsoles open and running airodump and aireplay attack 3. If not, go back and follow the directions in the past 2 posts. If yes, the fun More About: Attack , Replay
Injecting using Aireplay
2008-01-13 16:00:00 Now that we're monitoring our target, it's time to get those data numbers up. Leave open the window that has airodump running, and open a new Konsole shell. We will start by starting aireplay attack 3. This attack waits until it finds an ARP, whatever that is, and it replays it multiplie times a second to create artificial data. It most usually will not find any ARP until we create them, so we'll More About: Replay
Preparing for and using Airodump
2008-01-13 05:22:00 As usual, before we start using airodump we must make preparations. If you have airodump running still from last post, press Ctrl-C to stop it. The next step will not work correctly if airodump is running. Okay, we ran airodump and found our target AP (Access Point). I am going to use one of the connections shown in the snapshot from last post. If you take a look, there's a connection (which More About: Prep
Learning the basics of Airodump
2008-01-11 07:03:00 Now that we got our network card into monitor mode, we're ready to roll. The first program we'll be using is airodump, or airodump-ng. We will run all our programs using Konsole Shells, which are opened by clicking on the second icon in the bottom left corner. As with most any program in BackTrack, to see a short help file with all the possible parameters, just type the name of the program at More About: Learning , Basics , The Basics
Putting Atheros chipset cards into monitor mode
2008-01-10 17:33:00 As I have explained, I do not have an atheros card, and therefore I cannot guarantee the accuracy of what I am about to write.But here goes: The Atrheros cards use a driver called MADWIFI (Multiband Atheros Driver for WIFI). The way it works is that each modem gets a master interface with names like wifi0, wifi1... Then the are VAPs, or virtual access points that we interact with.

Putting your card into monitor mode
2008-01-10 16:38:00 First step to begin hacking the WEP networks is to put your wireless network card into monitor mode. For this we will use ifconfig and iwconfig. As I wrote in last post, these instructions may not work for your card. I will explain how to set it up with atheros chipset cards in a separate post. This is for Broadcoms or RT2500 and many other cards. Step 1: Open a Konsole shell by clicking on the More About: Card , Mode , Monitor , Putting
Wireless network cards you and I use
2008-01-10 06:23:00 Currently I use 2 wireless network cards on my machine. I have a Broadcom 4311 card built in to my laptop. It's a little buggy when it comes to injection, which is one of the things we'll learn about in the next few days. So I went on to Ebay and bought myself a WUSB54G card, which is a USB card, so it's easy in easy out. I actually bought a refurb for $10 + $10 shipping, so it wasn't a major More About: Wireless , Network , Cards
New Blog Policy
2008-01-10 04:53:00 Hi there. I was scrolling down my blog page and I was amazed and disturbed at how long the page was. I think I will have to make the posts a bit shorter. I don't want to stop doing everything step-by-step, so I'll just have to have less steps per post. So for the aircrack suite and to reach the goal of getting the WEP key, it will take a nice few posts. I don't think it should bother anybody, so More About: Blog , Policy
Getting to know the Aircrack Suite
2008-01-10 02:20:00 Let's get down to business. Backtrack comes with the aircrack suite preinstalled. Aircrack is a suite of programs that will let us hack into a wireless network by getting the WEP key. The WEP key is just a fancy name for the password. Not really, but really. The programs we'll focus on is: ifconfig - we may need it to configure our network card iwconfig - to configure our wireless network card More About: Suite
Tweaking the BackTrack Start Up menu
2008-01-09 17:10:00 Now that we have our operating system up and running as good as a full install, le's tweak the log in process just a bit. The way it's set up by me is that if the USB drive is plugged in when I turn on the computer it automatically boots from that drive. I did that as explained a couple of posts ago. I changed the boot order in the BIOS setup. So far the log in is not hands free, since we must More About: Start-Up , Start , Menu , Tweaking
Creating ext2 partition to save changes
2008-01-09 04:15:00 Okay, we have the Fat32 partition set up on the USB Flash Drive. We installed BT3 onto it and made it bootable. Now we have to make the linux ext2 partition to save the changes to. I loaded BackTrack using the USB drive. Here's where you'll learn from my mistakes. I couldn't create partitions on the drive while it was in use for BackTrack. Don't make the same mistake. Load Backtrack from the CD More About: Creating , Partition , Save
Installing BackTrack on a USB Drive
2008-01-08 02:28:00 Okay, now we should have a USB drive with a FAT32 partition taking up most of the space of the drive and some empty unformatted space for our ext2 partition , which we'll create in linux. First we'll install Backtrack on the partition we created, so that we can log in to BackTrack with it. To begin, you must have a program that can open an .iso file to access the files. I use Winrar, which is More About: Drive
Partitioning USB Flash Drive
2008-01-07 16:28:00 Okay, I got a new Sandisk micro USB drive. There is a special in Staples on it for $20. What we need to do now is make two partitions on the drive. One for the BackTrack OS, and one for the changes. Windows only recognizes FAT partitions, while Backtrack can only save changes to an ext2 partition, whatever that is. Two weeks ago, I worked for hours trying to get this setup to work. One 1.5GB More About: Flash , Flash Drive , Drive
Okay, it looks like we're gonna have to put it on a USB flash drive
2008-01-07 06:24:00 From the little I found so far, it looks like a USB flash drive is the way to go. I currently own a 2GB Sandisk micro drive that is quite cool, but doesn't work for some reason. I am gonna have to buy another one tomorrow and try to get this rolling. A USB drive is going to load much faster than from a CD and also, I can save the files and changes I make onto the USB drive, which I can't do with More About: Flash , Flash Drive , Drive , Gonna , Looks
A few points after looking at BackTrack
More articles from this author:2008-01-07 04:33:00 It's really great, BackTrack is. The only thing is that I really don't know anything about linux and I'm used to Windows GUI for all my programs, not command lines. Bill Gates, I hate you for spoiling me so. Anyway, I will still play around a lot, but here's a few points I want to make. Saving all the files you download and update with BackTrack is not an easy feat.
