How To Crack WEP In Linux
Im using Ubutnu 8.10, but all the commands are compatible with all other Linux Distros.
1. Open terminal
Sudo -s
(Enter Password)
apt-get install aircrack-ng (Here shows lots of cool shenanigans in verbose mood, just
enjoy)
Note: it might prompt you with something like "this file will take 8995kb.. do u wish
to install [Y/N]" (Correct Answer Being Y for yes)
Alright, you have just installed aircrack-ng on your computer, congratulations!
2. Ifconfig wlan0 down
this command puts your wireless card into "monitor mode." if this line doesnt work
for you, try "ifconfig ath0 down" or the connection type you are using. im going to
continue using wlan0 as that applies to me, you will just replace wlan0 with your
specific device code.
OR iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor if neither of the above work for you. once again,
depends on your computer.
3. Your goal now is to find your target, my goal is my roommates wireless router which
is using WEP encryption, how convenient!
first, for educational purposes, type airodump-ng into terminal, this shows all the
commands airodump is capable of, very important if you want to go after something a
tad different or specific
We want to find the target, type airodump-ng --showack wlan0
