RE: WEP utilities

I would guess you are doing this for security purposes. If you are going to
test things to stay secure, then test what would be used against you (most
likely). 

 


What is KNOPPIXR?


KNOPPIX is a bootable CD with a collection of GNU/Linux
<http://www.knopper.net/linux/>  software, automatic hardware detection, and
support for many graphics cards, sound cards, SCSI and USB devices and other
peripherals. KNOPPIX can be used as a Linux demo, educational CD, rescue
system, or adapted and used as a platform for commercial software product
demos. It is not necessary to install anything on a hard disk. Due to
on-the-fly decompression, the CD can have up to 2 GB of executable software
installed on it.

Using a linux bootable CD will help you learn Linux without knowing how to
configure it. Try Airsnort (on the fly WEP decryption), Kismet for wireless
detection, Ethereal for packet sniffing.

No need to install software, your work computer will be untouched after you
are done.

 Note - I had a Cisco error when running Kismet with Knoppix 3.4 - 3.3
worked great and I still use it. The newest version of 3.4 may have fixed
the issue however.

Subject: [Full-disclosure] WEP utilities

 

I am trying to find a WEP utility for Intrusion detection & Network probing.
I currently do not have Linux deployed or a competent enough grasp of Linux
to use tool in Linux. What I am looking for is any tools that will do WEP
decryption as well as Packet sniffing on WLAN.  I need this utility to work
under Windows (any version) Does anyone know of a utility that meets this
criteria.

 

Thanks,

Thomas Simmons
