Hacking WEP

Little hacking experiment

Setup: Home network
Netgear Wg602 wifi access point ( 54g)
Router with broadband connection 1 MB
P4
Encryption WEP 64 bit

Receiver laptop
ADVENT Amd 64
With own internal wifi card


Hacking laptop
As above but with DWL-AG650 wifi card.


Ok I have a wifi network at home and started to get a bit paranoid at the
security of WEP encryption so I got myself a new network card DWL-AG650
(Atheros chip set) for my laptop, downloaded the driver to put the card in
to monitor mode.

On my home wifi setup I logged on to P2P network and tagged about 100 mg of
files for download. another way is to run ICMP Ping Flood.

From my hacking laptop I then ran airodump to collect the traces of packets
flying through the air, being generated by my wifi network.
I left it running for approx 3 hours and collected approx 200000 class IV
packets.

Once completed dragged the file into aircrack, set fudge factor to 4,
encryption to 64 started it off, within less than 2 minutes it found the
key.

Conclusion

64 bit encryption not secure enough, I will try the same experiment with 128
encryption.
2-3 hours is not that long a time to sit out side someone's house or factory
( as long as there is a lot of wifi traffic).
From these findings I now unplug my wifi when doing internet banking etc. I
don't think I will drop the wifi as I find the flexibility very useful
accessing the net from anywhere in the house or garden, but will now look
into WPA.

witch version have u been using? windows or *nix of airodump / aircrack?

thanks for youre help, got that link already ;-),
how do i get the AP sending out crypted IV packets?

You must enable wep in the security settings of your wireless access
point/wifi modem router.


to gain access to your wireless access point
i.e. type http://192.168.0.1/ enter user name and password
