I Finally Cracked My Own WEP!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have experimented with Airsnort for quite a while now but could not seem to capture any "interesting" packets on my AP. King_Ice_Flash told me that my newer firmare in my AP was filtering out the weak packets http://forums.netstumbler.com/showthread.php?t=12358. I have then seek out to try the new Aircrack. Never did I expect that my first successful attempt was carried out on Windows!
I thought to share some of my experience and results here. It took me about 18 hours, 1900000+ packets and 1070000+(maybe lesser) unique IVs to get the job done on a 128-bit WEP encyption. The size of the pcap file is about 1.07GB.
What I did to generate traffic across the network is using my PPC to ping my PC in a loop using packet size of 1024KB. Maybe if you have a second normal PC you could transfer huge files and will take alot faster? The cracking itself is very fast. About 15 seconds. I am using Motorola AP/Router. Now everyone should know why they must change their WEP key frequently!
