cracking WPA CAN be extremely easy or it could be impossible. It all depends on if the passkey is in the word list you are using. I suppose it really depends on how much time you think it is worth trying word lists.

how about boxee box?

Chris, your question is quite vague. Are you are merely looking to secure your wireless network or gain root access? Look into playing around with BT4 and some of its tools.

No problem Sid.

Thanks so much for the info, Charles and digip! Especially digip for taking the time to explain and suggest so many things! Yes, I have built several PCs from the ground up without any problems. I have been skimming through most of the books and stopping in the areas that I feel I might need a refresher on. They all do come with a CD that contains practice exams and one has flash cards to study with as well. Thank you both again for the suggestions and good luck Charles on your two exams!

customer server?

if there isn't anything worth saving just reinstall the OS and cut your losses?

I tried it as well on a windows box and it worked fine. I still prefer it in BT though.

I will be going for my A+ certs (701-702) in the coming months. I have acquired numerous books and study guides to help with the studying including... http://www.amazon.com/CompTIA-Complete-Stu...1635&sr=1-3 http://www.amazon.com/CompTIA-Certificatio...1635&sr=1-7 http://www.amazon.com/CompTIA-Certificatio...8/ref=pd_cp_b_0 Aside from those study guides, can anyone who is A+ certified offer any other/better ways to prepare. Maybe even people who are certified how the exam went for them. How did you feel about it before and then how did you feel after taking the exam? Thanks in advance to all.

haha

I find myself using BT4 and WirelessMon a lot.

as far as I know kindle uses strictly the amazon bookstore to purchase books. If your buddy wanted to read PDF's he should have bought a Sony reader.

I would have to agree, if you insist on gaming on a netbook go with alienware. As said before...get ready to open up the wallet.

for general backup how about mozy?

my personal choice is this... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16827135204 yes it is an internal, however you can just hook it up via SATA>USB. You get GREAT specs for $24.

it is called CUPP (common user password profiler) http://forums.remote-exploit.org/announcem...-tool-cupp.html I think that is the python script you are looking for. Very handy by the way!

thanks guys!

Hi guys, A while ago I remember an episode that featured a social engineering password generator. You answered a bunch of questions about the target and from those answers it generated a password list that you can used with aircrack. The problem is I can not find it anywhere! I searched this site, google and a few other places with no luck. If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated!
