When using backtrack 3 on my sony VGN-TZC which has the same network card chipset I got the "ERROR: Neither the sysfs interface links nor the iw command is available" when running airmon-ng start wlan0 it tells me to install iw but I found no easy way to install it.
Then again i'm running backtrack 3 from my usb dongle, I did not nor know how to install the image to the USB so I beleive the installation is readonly. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Thanks for the article Phillip, I was wondering does one need to install a Linux OS on the machine or can it be done from Virtual Box or similar software? Phillip, When I attempt to capture after entering the commands I get the following message: "airodump-ng --help" for help Nor is there a data file in my home folder, do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong? Its possible crack the wires founded by my ap? I was getting the same error but made it work by typing airodump-ng --channel 6 --bssid F:CC:7D:5A -w data mon0 This should work.
Very clear instructions. Does it work with Mac OS X? Greetings from London. When I do the aireplay --deauth command, is there any indication that would tell me if it worked or not? Speed guide? The lights are on. Is anybody really home? You can hide, and have hidden, behind the letter of the law. Publishing this information is ethically criminal. Your disclaimer clearly indicates you understand people will use this information to do what ought not to be done. Namely hacking into networks not their own.
Shame on you speed guide! Security by obscurity is not a sound principle in our book. In other words, the notion that unknown security flaws are unlikely to be found by attackers is false. WEP, for example, has very well known exploits, and anyone serious about securing their network should be aware of the extent of such flaws.
The article above merely informs readers how this is accomplished, therefore allowing them to make more educated choices when choosing encryption methods. Phillip, You have only to look at all the other posts here, in order to clearly understand what is happening. Others posting here are helping each other hack private networks not protect themselves , whether you do or do not acknowledge this it doesn't change the truth of the matter.
Inormation can be used in different ways. The fact that there exists the possibility of it being used unethically does not justify hiding it, and does not make it "shameful". The best article I have read on using the aircrack suite. Thanks for posting, this information needs to be known. Dear Writer, I am extremely thankful to you for this informative, clean, pin pointed and easy to understand tutorial.
It worked for me as piece of cake. Regards Thank you again. Well, your tutorial was really easy to follow. Other ones at the default website and some forums were really long and confusing for me, even I am using Linux for over 5 years. I don't get why those people have written more commands and other shit.
Good work. Keep it up! HI, I have same intel agn with hp dv se,Operating system Vista. I em using Vmware and running backtrack 3. I still cannot see my card. So, I am telling you the method to hack a secured WiFi network, crack its password and enjoy free internet using it.
Before moving directly to the methods to hack WiFi networks lets first see what type of security and authentication methods are implemented in WiFi networks. If somebody is already connected to the network, you can check in his network properties to see what encryption-type is being using by the targeted WiFi network. But if you want to know encryption-type of WiFi network which is not connected to any device in your reach, you need Ubuntu operating system to do this.
In Ubuntu, you can use nmcli command in terminal which is command-line client for NetworkManager. It will show you security types of nearby Wi-Fi access points. Enter the following command in terminal:. Using the above methods, you should have known the encryption-type of targeted WiFi network which you want to hack. My methods require KALI Linux which is especially designed Linux distrbution for penetration testing and ethical hacking.
You can download it for free from its official site. You will also need Aircrack-ng which is a security suite to assess WiFi network security. It focuses on different area of WiFi security: monitoring, attacking, testing and cracking. Another important requirement is to check if your wireless card is compatible with Aircrack-ng or not. And it can take some time. There are two kind of WEP encryptions. One is bit and another is bit. So bit can take a little longer and if it is like a bit it can just happen and it will just crack the key in 15, IVs.
But for bit it can go up to almost 50, IVs. And if a network is busy and a lot of people are using our test network, for example, or the network we were trying to hack, the data flowing in the network will be a lot and it will be even a faster process.
But if only one client is connected and he is not doing anything or the device is just sitting idle, we will have to wait for the data packets to flow. Because if someone is not doing anything on their device it means that no data packets are in the networks and we need data packets.
We need to capture thousands of data packets. So for now we are just going to wait and let aircrack-ng do its thing and in some time it is going to crack the key for us. So now we managed to actually crack that key and you can see that this is the IV and we have the password here which is testpassword1 and it took almost one lakh and 80, IVs for the aircrack-ng to crack it.
So you just need to be patient to capture as much IVs as you can, as much data packets as you can, because hacking can actually get very hectic when you have to be very patient and you need to wait for things to happen. So sometimes it will happen for you in 10, IVs or 10, data packets and sometimes it can take about two lakh or three lakh IVs too.
So for me it happened in almost one lakh and 80, IVs and now what I am going to do is I am going to turn off my monitor mode so I can check if I can connect with this network or not.
So you can see that we got connected to the test network with this key we found with aircrack-ng which is testpassword1. And another thing. We only managed to do it just because we had two devices connected to the network and there was a lot of data packets, and we got to capture a lot of data packets.

It was proposed as a replacement for WEP in the early 's and WPA2 became the standard for wireless security by It may be used by older hardware or by people who don't know the best network protocol when setting up their wireless network.
This wikiHow article teaches you how to break WEP encryption. Warning: Using these techniques to gain unauthorized access to a wireless network is illegal. Law enforcement will frequently set up WEP networks as a honeypot specifically to catch hackers. The information contained in this article is for educational purposes only. It is to demonstrate the flaws of WEP security and so that you know how to protect yourself against attacks on your own wireless network.
Purchase a network adapter that supports monitor mode and packet injection. Install Kali Linux on your computer. Connect your network adapter and boot into Kali Linux. Open the Terminal. Type ifconfig and press enter to find your network adapter name.
Type " airmon-ng start [network adapter name] " and press Enter to put the network adapter in monitor mode. Type " besside-ng -c [channel number] -b [BSSID number] [network adapter name] " and press Enter to attack the network. Type " aircrack-ng. Select the number you want to break to find out the network key.
