Post by Joseison » Mon Dec 29, 2008 2:25 am

Has anyone of you tried cracking wep key using a usb dongle in windows environment?

Please share your experiment. I've heard alot on AirPcap however it's so expensive for that dongle. anyone of you tried a generic usb dongle?

Those airpcap dongles are pretty pricey. I haven't found one yet either that can do cracking, but I haven't looked either. If you do find one let me know what you find. I bought a Acer Aspiron minitop last month and would need a dongle to crack.

EDIT: Don't do crack, crack is whack.

Use cain and able.
There is a new development in cracking.
With about 8 normal cards you are able to crack wifi.
But I don't know anymore if it is for Windows of Unix systems.

Cain and able doenst work on Unix. Use airsnort instead.

Apart from airpcap the only cards that works with injection in windows is atheros card with commview drivers TMK. However my iwl3945 card works without injection when I use omnipeek from wildpackets.

If you don't want to use or scared to use a Linux live cd then you can still crack wep keys in windows using a vmware version of any live cd.

Grab yourself the vmware version of the infamous backtrack or other and get yourself a USB with realtek chipset.
