lonelyloser91 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Well i was bored today...And my Aunt had called me in to Reformat her computer and get it all running well....and i decided to go Wardriving on the way over here on the 1 hour drive... I was amazed as i came out of the drive way and hit 10 APs... Then even on the Freeway i was still picking up Tons... Over the house i had picked up about 150 or so.... And connected to about 10... But now im sitting here installing everything on my aunts system and adding a WEP Encryption Key and Changing the admin passwords to her new Linksys Wireless router.... .... So bored..

stingwray Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 dding a WEP Encryption Key Use WPA if you can, WEP can be cracked by a hacker that wants to spend the time doing it, rather than one that doesn't have the time. WPA is more secure, although like anything security rated, not perfect or unbreakable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kainchick Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Mostly i think he added it because i think his aunt was whining about it being easily accessable. Because if you see 2 routers, one open and one unopen your gunna go for the open one, generally... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if you see 2 routers, one open and one unopen your gunna go for the open one, generally... I don't doubt that but you should where possible use the most secure features available. There are plenty of people that will crack WEP simply to do it, or they might be more malicous and start stealing password and credit card details. It might not fit wireless encryption particularly well, but if something is protected then people are more likely to have an interest in it.

melodic Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 if you changed the default gateway on your router...and you set your machines browsers up to that gateway, would if someone got on ur wireless they wouldnt have internet because the gateway is wrong??

Sparda Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Correct, but you won;t beable to access the Internet either, unless you do what metatron has done, and setup a VPN server, and the VPN servers default gateway is setup as the internet accessible gateway.

Deags Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 With today's fuel prices wardriving is not economical. Unless you wanna target something. I mainly use it to leech ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metatron Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 I can crack WPA quicker then WEP but the average person can crack WEP. When WPA2-Enterprise becomes wide spread I would go with that, but for security I think a VPN is the best option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingwray Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Just use good ole wireing fuck that fake ass wireless shit man. Hardwiring is where its at! Wired networking isn't always practical, perhaps if you spent the time on wireless then you wouldn't think it was shit. On another note, most things are able to be broken, the solution is to use lots of security measures and hope that the people trying to break into your wireless network give up, or can't get through everything. VPN is probably the best major way of securing the internet. Personally I like watching people sitting on my wireless network trying to get the interent and not getting anything. They soon move off. As well as VPN i have Radius set up for authentication for the Internet with Captive Portal and Radius on the network authentication. MAC filter makes things a little harder for hackers as well and is worth implementing. Also some a good firewall or two in the right place is a must.

comcipher Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 WPA is very secure compared to WEP, you can't make the remark that it's easier to crack then WEP. WEP is totally broken and can be cracked within a matter of minutes. If a router is setup with WPA and a *strong* password (the flaw you were speaking of only works with really weak passwords) it's very secure, much more so then WEP. If WPA2 is available as an option, use that instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melodic Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 well sparda, if you change it, and change your browsers YOU can go on the internet because you know what you changed the gateway too. but the people who connect to your ap wont... = no internet for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 well no, becasue the gateway isn;t handled by your browser, it's handled by the operating system. Even if you do set the default gateway correctly it still won;t work, becasue the AP will try to send it to it's default gateway which doesn;t exsist.

Laughing You should never ever use a password generator, even from grc.com. Its a security flaw that could lead to your password from being broken.
