You find lots of tutorials on the web that deal with cracking WEP (wired equivalent privacy) using tools that are only available if you are using a *nix distribution. This could be quite a challenge for most windows users. A tutorial at the taz forum now finally takes a look at and explains how to crack WEP using windows xp.
The tutorials tries to make it right for everyone, explaining everything in great detail which is great for beginners. You might want to skip some paragraphs if you already know the basics. The author uses aircrack -ng and explains the usage of this tool in great lenght. If you are curious take a look, you won´t find an easier introduction to WEP cracking. There will be a video tutorial out soon as well which visualizes everything.

Cracking WEP and WPA Wireless Networks
fufk,fff
There exists better tools than aircrack. It can handle only the old wep. There are some new and better tools avaiable for win vista plattforms.
What’s the fucking point of saying there are better tools and not listing them?
There exists better commentors than Susi Ledermuller.
I agree, school us master jedi, what r these wonderful tools???????
ok guys i know its not windows but…
i use linux to be more accurate i use backtack 3
this is the end product of over 300 but in tools
and most of them have a GUI interface that
makes it easy even for noobs my first day
running the live cd i cracked my roommates AP
and get this 8 min i only needed 20000 ivs and
the wep key was 128 bit it can do the same for
wpa in around the same time
if anyone has any questions youngzuse@live.ca i wont say i am a pro but i do know how to crack wep and or wpa in under 10 min almost everytime i go after a network lol might be able to help good luck ps…. backtrack will be the last wireless tool u ever download

YOUNGZUSE@LIVE.CA
Can Suzi enlighten us?
Fully Appreciate The Positive Comment’s from Matt.
The way To Do It !!!
I really hope Suzi can let us know what these Mystical wonderful tools she knows about are. For the rest of you, I really like Backtrack. Cain and Able with the airpcap usb adapter works great with windows.
For you mac users; you are really lucky, KisMac is so easy to use it is scarry.
Wish someone would port this for *nix. It shouldnt be too hard. But then again i cant do it.
Hey guys.. just come across this post.
I’ve had a look round for airpcap hardware but its mega expensive.
Anyone any idea where to get them cheap(er) please or an alternative?
thanks very much
MisterD
I love how people claim to have WONDERFUL tools and never list them. Which means they don’t exist.
hey all i am a pro with backtrack 3 and the commmands NOW but thats not for everyone
its funny i found a new set of auto hacks you just put the –bssid essid and the channel and it dose the rest not the first tool that dose this is called airoscript.sh and the second is skynet.sh
now both script programs that work great for backtrack linus users
lol i have cracked all my nabours lol it is so easy too try and u will see have a smoke and watch your key just show up
I FOUND ALL THE COOL TOOLS SEND ME MONEY
Matt – hey, I tried backtrack 3 and I can’t get it to start. I burned the CD ok, but after I boot I get a message that says “Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation.” I verified the checksum after I downloaded and it was ok. What’s up? I admit to being a linux newbie, but I don’t even see a place to change any settings. Do I have to edit the backtrack files before I burn them to CD? Thx.
Ok i am getting hundreds of emails now and i respone to everyone
if i helped you please consider a giving a Tip like for good service
hey matt i just wanted to say thank you. you are a good person in my books would not have gotten here without your HELP thx bro
i think if mac is so easy to get wep i may need to start to learn that os , i started on 95 and up and i dont think am able to learn a none gui sys. maybe if i knew dos and understand a batch file i might be able to even run linux .
matt I’am a compleat newbe whit Back Track 3 . I have allredy try to get started on my own . Watching tutorial and reading ton’s of information on it, but whit out any good resolts. I shall e-mail you right away, describing what have I try’ed and not. What I want to ask you to do is post a link around here for the video tutorial you mentioned.
HI i will post a vid on cracking wpa and wep with in a few days should be posted by tuesday
Hello,
I am relatively newer to this kind of stuff, so i was thinking is it possible to connect my PC(Windows) to my pocket pc(HTC Tytn II) and then use its wireless card to crack WEP. Of cource with some softwares on my PC.
Can anybody suggest any thing?
dont talk bout backtrack here bitches, it’s for WINDOWS ONLY!
and to Mufazzal download moble vnc and it will work for you
I was going to post the link, but I say if you really want it Search for it as the rest of us. or pay for it.
You can install virtualbox (virtualbox.org). This allows to use any kind of Linux on your windows PC. So you can use every Linux tool on your windows PC.
well, why dont you write down a method how to start for a new bi
like
first step
second step
third step
how to start where to download such stuff,its like holding a finger of a baby to teach him how to walk
lol
Susi… once youve extracted your head out of your 12 year old arse feel free to post comments that might of use to anyone (excepting your 5 year old ego….)
So, i’ve hacked my neighbors internet about 2 months ago, but yesterday they changed their WEP code, and everytime i use a tool to get the WEP the old WEP comes up and not the new one they got, is there any tools i can use to get the new WEP?
also, im using Windows Vista so i can’t use any Linux Programs.
would be much appreciated, thank you
hey ritchie just go and download the latest copy of backtrack 3 and use spoonwep to get your neighbors wep backtrack is whats called a live cd meaning that you put the cd in the cd drive and restart your computer and the whole operating system just loads without installing anything and runn’s off your ram so if you screw it up wile playing around with it it will have no way of affecting your native os..now if you wanna be a hacker..or cracker you will never get there running windows its not like the movies its just not made for it
do i need linux for backtrack 3?
yeah i agree with windows, its shit, i’ve used a linux Eee PC before, the small ones, but that kept freezing so i just switched back to windows
hey Ritchie ..backtrack 3 is linux its a slax distro .but that dose not matter heres a direct link to the download page i suggest that you download the 695mb iso so is all you have to do is burn the iso to the dvd and then restart your computer and it loads the dvd then just use spoon wep to get the wep key or spoonwpa for the wpa key
but you will need a massive dictionary to guess the wpa key good luck happy new years ;)
My wireless card is Atheros AR5007EG. It will work?
Great tutorial.
If I install Virtual Box I will can crack wep with windows?
louis yes it will work
I have an Atheros AR5009 which is not on the list. Will it work? How about my USB adapter with the powerful antenna and amplifier? Is there any hope of using it ever with cracking software? I have an RAlink 2500 with a raylink chip
if your wifi adapter is usb, you might want to run linux backtrack3 on windows using vmware and download the vmware image of bactrack3. this way you wouldn’t have to burn any iso to a cd, and restart your pc everytime you crack weps. spoonwep does work but if you know how to do packet injections, aircrack-ptw and airodump-ng method still is faster.
just google your way through it ^_^
matt, how is the virtual box going to see the wireless in the virtual machine? the virtual machine will just see any nonusb adapter as a wired nic in the guest os.
louis, the answer is no.
Hi I keep reading and watching vids on this Im still. so i need backtrack3 on a disk, put it it boot laptop, few clicks, keycode, no asking about channels, wifi cards, no write comond promps, other progarmmes aircracks, dumps, peeks vmware,? so many different things iv’e read. I’m just looking for a click click there u go, not really a computer guy. I need a second by second instuction booklet,
mark_ev@hotmail.com
Rinning linux using VMware or equivalent type will not work! This is due to the way windows registers your network adapters!
OK.. Let clear some air up…
Window User://///////////////////////
1. If we use virtual box and run the backtrack 3 will it work. please confirm??
2. has anyone ever tried this on windows and successfully got the WEP code?
3. Is there any other hacking WEP program out there for windows ONLY?? List Please??
4. Matt will you be my best friend??
5. who let the dog out?
d(^.^)b
Hi,I finally got a bootable disk, for windows runs great, with instructions, just that its only for 3945 wireless card runs and collects pakets but wont complete as i dont have the right wireless card
hey pjb i use vmware workstation all the time
you just need a decent ammount of ram or everything is in slow moo haha i am actually typing this in vmware workstation 6 and and using backtrack 4 so long and short it works
CommView for Wifi 6 do wep crack fine.
Gustavo yes commview wifi works for wep but it takes me 5 min with linux ..we both know commview takes a verylong time and dose not work all the time and wep is old now learn to crack wpa-psk and plus with commview wifi you cannot capture a four way handshake so wpa is not going to happen
click my name and u will see my hack site for wep and wpa wireless networks everything u need to know
Wow this post is fun…
Matt, I’m an avid BT3 user and I’m having more of an issue with getting it to work on certain platforms. I have a toughbook that refuses to cooperate with kismet or airmon-ng have you ever had any issues with this? It spouts off this error:
[root@localhost Desktop]# airmon-ng start wlan0
Interface Chipset Driver
wlan0 iwl3945 – [phy0]/usr/sbin/airmon-ng: line 338: /sys/class/ieee80211/phy0/add_iface: No such file or directory
mon0: unknown interface: No such device
(monitor mode enabled on mon0)
Also I was wondering if anyone knew of a good wardriving card/antenna combo. I’m looking for power power power and flexibility for packet injection and the like.
all right edw00rd i found a fix for your problem
just go to this web page and the answers there ;)
the issue is that your wireless card dose not support injection and thats a very common issue with intel based chipsets s your not alone in that aspect ..
and for the wireless card if you wanna be a wireless hacker you are gonna need the right wireless card and with the right chipset and with the insane power well all love and that wireless card is called the Realtek 8187
it has 400mw of power thats almosthalf a watt now thats a lot and it works so good you just plug it in to your computer when backtrack is all loaded up and it just works now drivers needed
you really gotta check you this web site
and plus that card i was talking about is only 34.00$ canadain so its so good and cheap!!!

in backtrack use wesside
wesside-ng -i
very easy to use cracks in seconds
yea dude thats really nice…..but its just a nother script like.airoscript.sh or skynet.sh or spoonwep or spoonwep2 or spoonwpa if you wanna learn how to jack someones wireless do not use a gui interface beacuse it will teach you nothing you need to know all the commands for every step of the whole process before even considering one of those time saving programs..
ps…i get hunderds emails a month now :( please click my name do not send me e mails asking for help thank you
i have automatic vacation reply on send me a e mail and you will get my website ;)
