Awesome! I will be sure to check it out at a later date and time!

XBMC looks interesting, I might have to play around with it.

Hopefully once Darren makes his trek out to my state it will help out with the possibility of a CA meet up.

I am not sure if this belongs in here or the "everything else" section so please move it if need be. I know I have seen a few threads about how to get a meet up started with fellow programmers/hackers/general tech people. However I was curious to see if any or how many people are from California? If there are a decent amount we might be able to get something going, what do you guys think?

Is lufthansa referring to... sudo start-network to get the wicd manager working?

Maybe he bought a better AP?

yeah, April fools...just like the Starbucks "plenta" cup of coffee.

Go with Unetbootin. It is very straight forward... http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

I say backup what you need to and reinstall to save time and energy.

I do not mean this to come off rudely, however have you googled "WEP cracking"? If you had you should have been given MANY items to read up on. A google of "WEP alfa aircrack-ng" should give you enough to read for a year.

Your assumptions are most likely correct.

Unfortunately my post will have no relevance nor help the Navy. However I simply find it odd that a supposed government employee is looking for help in this public forum...

Did you read through this? http://www.hak5.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=913

hypnotoad, the alfa is not that bulky at all! I have mine suction cupped to the back of my acer netbook with this... http://www.amazon.com/Alfa-Suction-WUS036H...k/dp/B002VX0RXY You can buy it from amazon or Data-alliance http://www.data-alliance.net/-strse-152/Mo...ok?sfs=a2f98188 I personally bought my alfa AWUS036H & the mount from DA and was happy!

great analogy.

nivong, It might help you out to read my post regarding wireshark problems. I believe we are having very similar issues. http://www.hak5.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=16179

Thanks digip for pointing me in the right direction! It looks like I am back to tinkering around to get it right. You are correct, I started the aircrack suite and dropped wlan0 into monitor mode. Thanks again for the help!

Ok after a little more playing around in BT4 and wireshark I am starting to get frustrated. Maybe if I break down my process someone can spot my error. I boot up BT4 sudo start-network wicd - connect to neighbors wireless (yes, he gave me permission) airmon-ng start wlan0 (note, after issuing this command I do get a notice about a process that could cause trouble. Reference screen shot1 below) At this point i should be set up for a MITM attack. (monitor mode enabled) I boot up wireshark>capture>interfaces>start wlan0 (under devices it does seem like a lot is listed. Reference screen shot2 below) I filter out HTTP traffic look for the POST under the info column (after my neighbor has went to an unsecured site and logged in) AND THAT IS WHERE THINGS GO TO CRAP. I can never see the post and hardly ANY http traffic, which tells me I am not collecting the necessary packets from my neighbor. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be GREATLY appreciated.

RichyB, are you looking for something like http://www.wpacracker.com/ ? It is set up by Moxie Marlinspike (http://www.thoughtcrime.org/) He is the guy who wrote the code for SSL strip and numerous other programs. Hope the info helps!

thanks for asking this nivong! I was just playing around on wireshark in BT4 and was wondering why I was only seeing MY traffic and not the wife's who was on her netbook in the other room! I had not set my alfa to monitor mode to listen to everything! I love how much I can learn from reading on here and trying things!

just my two cents, however I believe you can also use www.no-ip.com for dynamic DNS so you don't have to remember an IP.

ha, that would be funny if you are correct.

Are you two really arguing about who can pwn who?
