like a packet sniffer?

I think that's what airsnort is for....

But that's for *nix only -- if you are running windows, you might try ethereal, but I dunno if it supports wireless....

aw crap -- you are right....

I would have thought airsnort would have made it a packet sniffer and as a feature made it crack wep -- guess not...

Cain has a packet sniffer with the ARP part of the program, and it also works on wireless.

http://www.wi-foo.com - excellent resource as is the book Wi-Foo, The secrets of Wireless Hacking. If you have even the slightest interest in wireless network analysis, this text is a must read.

assuming you can get it to work.... it randomly does(n't) for me, one installtion does, the next doesn't, same hardware 'n' everything..... weird :?

I'm telling you, their book and the supporting site have tons of valuable info. It is the only tech book that I have read more than once in some time.

I use Ethereal on my D-LINK Extreme G+ and it works like a charm, so it should work.
