  1. Will do..thanks for the advice on the book and the link...always looking to find ways to better my abilities. Thanks, Gunny
  2. LOL...take it easy on me bud... You caugt me, I don't know crap about WPA_Supplicant (I'm sorta learning it as I go), but I can assure you this is my router and the passphrase just is not working so I really want to figure the problem out instead of just reseting the router back to factory default. Besides if I was hacking someone else's router and i'm not saying I ever did...I would probably shake their hand for giving me such a difficult task. If you know any .pdf's or online writing about using WPA_Supplicant I am eager to learn it better. Besides we both know that hacking most routers is not that difficult. HELL! I could ask youtube if I really need help in that regard..there is plenty of "how to" back track 5 wireless hacking videos there. I think Hak5 even has a few..lol. Listen I am not trying to start a trollfest here so I will just stop posting on this matter and try and figure it out on my own..only way I'm gonna learn anyways. Thanks, Gunny
  3. Ok ran into a small issue with the WPA_supplicant. One of the inputs needed to run the WPA_supplicant is the psk string. Well I have a .cap file for the router which was obtained through aircrack, however I am not sure how I can extract a psk string from this. I can always reset the router back to factory default but I would rather figure this out the hard way. exmp: # WPA-PSK/TKIP network={ ssid="Peek-A-Boo" key_mgmt=WPA-PSK proto=WPA pairwise=TKIP group=TKIP psk="<mypasskey>" <------- This is where I run into issue...not sure how to extract this key Thanks for any help, Gunny }
  4. "Are you using wicd or manually connecting with wpa_supplicant?" Sorry forgot to answer this question..I was using wicd to connect to the router. I will try the wpa_suppliant and see if that works for me as well.
  5. To answer the first question...I am entering the password exactly how it was put in, and I'm using wpa-psk. The exact match for the router. I have also ran different variations of the passphrase through aircrack just to make sure an error wasn't made in the passphrase, and this comes back with the correct passphrase. Now for the second question..lol..CEH actually is a good cert but as in all certifications it is the starting point whitch means that it is the basics of hacking, and in all honesty wireless is a category but the test and the class focus more on enterprise hacking (DOS attacks, arp poisining, implementing trojans virus on a network, using viruses to create back doors to networks, etc.) There is only one real section of wireless when I took the class and that was for scanning and identifying wireless networks...not hacking them. CEH is still a good cert though and I recommend it to anybody who wishes to become better at hacking, but really pen-testing or one of the higher certs is going be better suited for learning more about the wireless hacking aspect becasue it's made to teach you to gain access to networks, whereas CEH teaches you the tools to get into networks. Digip, I will try your suggestions and see if that works. appreciated the advice. Will update on status once I have tried a few things. Thanks, Gunny
  6. Hello, I am testing different hacking techniques on a wireless WPA2 network using Back Track 5. I succesfully grabbed wpa handshake as well as extract password using aircrack and a dictionary file, but for some reason or another when I enter the key into the password portion when connecting to the wireless router I get back the message "Network Security Key Mismatch". Now this is a test router and I am a certified CEH (which doesn't mean a whole lot I know...) but to continue my education I must first get past this problem. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You, Gunny P.S. I will check back regularly if you any further information is needed. P.S.S. Also I apologize if I misplaced this post..wasn't sure if it was suppose to post under questions or hack.
