Inked Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 HI lufthansa747, I have found these video segments that Darren did in the past, I think you should watch them as they will give the answer you are looking for. http://www.hak5.org/episodes/episode-518 http://www.hak5.org/episodes/episode-517 http://www.hak5.org/episodes/episode-514 Alternatively you could google for How to crack WEP or something along the lines.

aeiah Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 (edited) ok thanks but i cant get backtrack persistence file working on my multipass . how do i do that you could try another method i suppose. i just install backtrack like any other operating system rather than mess with usb sticks. almost all linux distributions will have aircrack and whatnot in their repos so you could probably just go down that route.. slitaz, crunchbang, slax, and sidux are fairly small distros with decent live functionality. in fact, i think the custom slitaz livecd that aircrack provide on their site will work out of the box with your card. i get the impression since you've yet to master google that you may have problems with a lot of linux distributions and tutorials though Edited April 19, 2010 by aeiah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what he might be referring to is, how to connect to a wireless AP using commands instead GUI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
