I stumbled accross this link one day by accident and it totally has me hooked. I had no idea cracking WEPs was as easy as this flash video makes them out to be. So I just had to test it out on my own wireless router...
I first tried installing all the things I needed onto my Debian installation I already have... but I never could figure out how to get my wifi card in "HostAP#wlan" mode... it just kept erroring... So after further investigating the remote-exploit.org and crimemachine.com sites I realized that the OS used in the video was in fact a livecd called Auditor.
So I downloaded the exact version from the video (auditor-150405-04) and it never booted. I would get as far as the framebuffer starting and then it looks for my cd drive on /dev/s* something when my cd drive is /dev/hdc -- I dont know anything about how to fix this, so I tried a different version of auditor. A newer one.
auditor-200605-02-no-ipw2100.iso is what I downloaded because my card uses ipw2200 and this is the file the site said to use for those types of cards...
This version booted. The window session was all screwy - the title bar of the windows never showed up; i could not ALT+TAB between windows; windows didnt show up in the taskbar at the bottom; etc etc etc... a bunch of little things like that. so I closed KDM from the CLI and I continued on in the CLI.
I followed the tutorial to the 'T'. Frist problem right off the bat was airodump... In the tutorial you can see IVs on the list - in my screen, these were not shown. I figured out that the tutorial runs airodump version 2.1 or something - i was using 2.41
So i continue on to the next step.. 'aireplay -i eth0' --- this command errored and didnt tell me why but just showed the correct usage and all the options i could choose from... I finally got the damn thing woring by setting all kinds of weird parameters in the command, but i do not remember them.
Lastly, the third step - aircrack... This command also had different parameters - but i finally got it to work, but it didnt work... it complained that my 'tocrack.ivs' file did not have enough IVs... So I let airodump and aireplay run for about 15 minutes then i try aircrack again... well... still, not enough IVs...
I cant find out how many IVs I have in my file and airodump isnt displaying me an IVs column in the output....
Am I missing a step somewhere? Or is there a different way of doing this?
I am using a Gateway MX6425 notebook and a Netgear WG511 v2 (Made in Taiwan) card (and yes, this v2 card is the one that works nativley in linux - I can get online with it so I know for a fact it works).
Any input would greatly be appreciated!
Thanks!
