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.

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.

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

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

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

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 ;)
