Life, Work & Ambitions

Overview

This is a good one, let me tell you! There can be so many issues setting up your box to actually get the tools working and i’m not even touching on that, but if you can get everything to work, you’ll be cracking wireless networks like a pro in no time.

Disclaimer: I’m not a pro.

Pre-Installation

Checklist

• Tools
  • I’ve been really, really successful with basically one tool set called AirCrack. Download that.
  • Kismet is an excellent tool for sniffing out wireless networks as well and could prove useful.
• An encrypted wireless network.
  • We’ll be working on WEP encrypted networks as well as static passkey WPA or WPA-PSK

Note: Make sure you can get your card into monitor mode (sometimes called raw monitor or rfmon). This is VERY important
