LayZ Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 So, I've got a Asus eeepc in my lap and want to check my router's security(right now I'm using WEP, but since I saw how apparently easy it can be cracked I want to check it myself). The problem is - I've sinned and installed Crapdows on it. Can anyone please explain me how to get something working, because in the generic guides it's told to go to some site where custom drivers are available, but the drivers are not for the specific eee's wi-fi card. Basically - give me a rough five sentence kick in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Boot backtrack from a pendrive, Windows does a lot of things better than linux but without something like airpcap (=monies) its got nothing on *nix for cracking wireless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I have used a eeePC with the default drivers that come with Ubuntu. Both promiscuous mode and monitor mode do not work. Thats not to say that isn't a driver that has one or both working some where on the Internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparda Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Madwifi? Madwifi your self. Ye, it uses madwifi. Not that I'm particularly familiar with it, but I couldn't get it to work. There might be some thing more to it then airmon-ng start ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Get a shell (ctrl-alt-T) Then type: 1. sudo wlanconfig ath0 destroy 2. sudo wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode monitor 3. sudo ifconfig ath0 up 4. sudo iwconfig ath0 channel 1 5. sudo wireshark In step 4 you should replace the digit 1 with the number of the channel you want to monitor (normally between 1 and 11) In wireshark now capture ath0.
