Hey guys,
Has anyone here played with aircrack before? I've been trying to crack my own 128-bit WEP key but can't seem to do it.
I've seen several docs say that cracking the key should be gaurenteed with 2 million IV's, but is crackable with as little as 200,000
I have 3 computers on my wireless network, I set 1 into monitor mode, and I generate ping packets with a .0001 interval between the other two computers. This generates about 5 million packets in a couple minutes. The computer set in monitor mode captures the data with tcpdump in pcap format with full packet payload.
I then try to crack my WEP key on my 3.25GHz machine with:
Code:
aircrack -a 1 -e myessid -p 2 -f 2 data
It says I got 2699788 IVs when aircrack starts
it runs and runs but never seems to find the key... i thought that with so many IV's it would crack it in seconds.
Anyone else ever play with it?
Thanks!
George
