I am always looking on this topic, on how to obtain the WEP key, I found few video which show about how to crack the WEP key. Here is one of the video which I found
Tools needed to crack the WEP keys:
- Whoppix OS (One of the Linux’s OS)
- Kismet (Wireless Network Detector)
- Prism 2.5 chipset (Wireless Receiver)
- aerodump (Packet Analising software)
Brief Description on above tools:
Special tools and software require for this kind of WEP Cracking. In this situation, the software such as Kismet, and aerodump only run in Linux types of OS(Operation System).
In this case, OS using are Whoppix; to detect the wireless network and wifi channel around you, we need kismet, this software also may detect hidden wireless network.
Aerodump are use to capture the packet which flow between the Access Point and the user.(Recommended to do this in a peak time). The more packet capture, the easy to to obtain the password. In the video, they use about 10minute to capture 160MB packet flow between the user and the accesspoint
On hardware side, not all wireless receiver compatible with the software, In this video, they are using Prism Chipset’s Wifi receiver.
Last step, after collect enough packet, Aircrack is one of the most important tools, it use to recover the WEP password with the packet capture with Aerodump.
Well, if you have linux skill, may have a try on this…
my friend manage to crack WEP for 2 wifi connection in ampang area. maybe he is using the same cracking tool as this 1… damn useful
eh must use the same linux os only can perform this cracking huh?
yapkevin >
There are few method, and some are using windows
vickie >
the software tools above only can run in Linux OS
I would like to test it out also, need to collect the tools
That’s why I always use WPA, which is safer than WEP. Last time I read a story about a Singaporean teenager got caught because of hacking his neighbour’s wireless, so better don’t do it if you are in Singapore.
fuiyoh calvyn, so keng ah ? lol, have you tried it out in penang? ur neighbourhood ? 😀
this is too hard for me but its good if I can crack my neighbor punya wifi!
Wah… come crack mine! wakakakakakkakakakakakakkakakkakaka…
wow! so unsecured and scary… BTW, how easy is the hack?

lol, the s’porean hack normal people also get sue?…

I wish to try it too, still gathering all the tools

Consider not easy, you need to have knowledge on linux, I am still looking for the right hardware.
wao..
WEP no longer secure…
why dont u compile this content and make it an ebook?
noku > Let me success tested 1st, then i will create a ebook 🙂
what’s your outcome? successfully cracked few wep at my area and now trying with wpa….
it’s easier to use backtrack iso cd which u can boot directly from it and crack…not need to install linux….
Omega >
any backtrack iso cd to recomended?
Can download from this website:
http://www.remote-exploit.org/backtrack_download.html
u just download and burn as iso image to blank cd….u can use usb dongle version as well…
the problem u need to take care is your wireless card, must be compatible with backtrack…
if your card not compatible, still can perform passive attack but probably need days to get wep key.
How secure wpa depends on your passphrase. Suggest more than 20 characters. Turn off your router when not in use. This will keep hacker away as they wouldn’t spend their time to crack the network they can’t 100% utilize….
