Just a thought- did you try escaping the % sign or enclosing with single quotes? So, try \&abcde1234\%, or single quotes as in '%abcde1234%' Certain specials characters are extra special. :) On windows, system variables are referenced as %NAME%. Other systems it can be Hash variable signifier... It's just a thought- I'm not sure if this is even remotely possible, but it's always good to check. -Kevin /*“ I am looking for a lot of men who have an infinite capacity to not know what can't be done. ” -- Henry Ford */ On Thu, Jul 14, 2011 at 2:29 PM, Al Grant <bigal.nz () gmail com> wrote:
HI All, A bit of a wireshark newbie here, but its such a powerful tool I am experimenting and learning. So far my experiments have lead me to a few questions. With WPA decryption I found that: With a WPA password of the format %word1234% I could not decrypt the packets? I wonder if the '%' interfered with it? As soon as I changed the password to abcd1234 it decrypted fine? Does anyone know what this was? Also with WEP decryption I assume that I do not need to capture the session handshake? With WEP decryption I have also had problems, I tried to enter the WEP Hex value in several formats: wep:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx xx:xx:xx:xx:xx xxxxxxxxxx None of them worked - any ideas here?
