The latest Knoppix-STD has a bunch of wireless stuff on it. I haven't used it but that might be a good way to go if you're wanting to get some experience. There's a lot more stuff for Linux that Windows 'cuz it seems the developers have a better time addressing the hardware with Linux. If you can see the network with NetStumbler, then using something like Kismet isn't gonna help you "find" it. Kismet would however give you the ability to see the traffic. You can tell from that if it's encrypted or not. You can also collect MAC addresses to get an idea for how many machines are on the network and possibly even the makeup of the hardware by looking up the MAC addresses. You can also get a good idea for how much traffic there is on the WLAN. Once you've collected some traffic you might find some interesting info if you run strings against the raw dump files. You'll need to use grep to cut out a bunch of repeating data like SSIDs, etc. Use something like 'strings filename.dump | grep -v SSID | less'. I believe Airsnort is on that knew knoppix-std CD also. -----Original Message----- From: securityfocus () arkam it [mailto:securityfocus () arkam it] Sent: Thursday, May 20, 2004 3:58 PM To: pen-test () securityfocus com Subject: Wireless wep crackin on windows Hi all, one of my clients want to see how secure is his wireless network, so had asked me to try to enter his wlan. I've never done wireless pentesting before, so I'm here to ask ^_______^ I'm basically using a windows machine, and i've already used netstumbler with my centrino wireless card to enumerate wlan networks, and with a gps receiver I can locate them on a map. I know there are many tools on linux for wep cracking, just like airsnort and others, but since I have little experience with linux OS, and I've to do this work in a few days, I'm searching for a wep cracker that can run on windows xp. Is there any one? Google did not help me ^_______^ Thanks in advance, -- Luca Dell'Oca CISSP Certified OPSA certified Analyst BS7799 Lead Auditor Arkam snc Via al Lago 68 21026 Gavirate (VA)
