Hi I'm starting playing with wireless attacks and a friend has agreed to let me monitor his network. While testing we turn WEP off and run kismet which finds his WAP fine. I can collect packets without any problems. Here is the kismet report on the network: Network 2: "testwap" BSSID: "00:0C:41:DD:AA:AA" Type : infrastructure Carrier : 802.11g Info : "None" Channel : 11 WEP : "No" Maxrate : 54.0 LLC : 231 Data : 0 Crypt : 0 Weak : 0 Dupe IV : 0 Total : 231 First : "Sat Jul 23 21:51:05 2005" Last : "Sat Jul 23 23:11:10 2005" Min Loc: Lat 90.000000 Lon 180.000000 Alt 0.000000 Spd 0.000000 Max Loc: Lat -90.000000 Lon -180.000000 Alt 0.000000 Spd 0.000000 Address found via TCP 192.168.1.10 He can connect to it fine through a windows box but when I try through my linux box I can't do it. Here are the commands I use to try to set it up: iwconfig eth0 mode Managed iwconfig eth0 channel 11 iwconfig eth0 ap 00:0C:41:DD:AA:AA iwconfig eth0 essid testwap iwconfig eth0 enc off which results in: eth0 NOT READY! ESSID:"testwap" Mode:Managed Channel:11 Access Point: 00:0C:41:DD:AA:AA Tx-Power=31 dBm Sensitivity=0/200 Retry min limit:0 RTS thr=0 B Fragment thr=0 B Encryption key:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 this looks good to me, but when I try to bring up the interface: ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.9 up I get this then the term freezes: SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory I know that they ip of the WAP is 192.168.1.10 so I'm trying to get onto the same subnet, can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong? I can connect to my own WAP fine but not his. Anyone got any ideas? Robin
