Cracking WEP Key, could be possible with our lovely device???

[Guest Rothariger]

Hello,

since my Asus P525 i was searching a way of cracking a WEP key, and i always found the same answer, the PDA devices aren't powerful enough. Now with a 800mhz like the O2 has or 1ghz like the snapdragon or others...

could it be possible???

pd: why i want to do this? because if im in a bar or place with a protected network and need to access to internet, i think it would be great to have a program that let me do it...

You must look for sniffer and pray to play with Omnia 2 wifi driver.

It's really hard to do it - even on computers. Seriously, we tried to do that (me & my neighboor and he's not gay. really.) with a couple of guides from several forums and we managed to to crack a WEP (it was jesuslovesyou1234) and it took -enough time to make me bore- to do that. I'm not even counting the time we spent to configure the programs.

So yeah, even if our devices are capable of this, and the software is provided, it takes hell of time to do it.

I'm pretty sure none of you would like to spend your precious time to hack into a crappy wi-fi hotspot. (unless you have your motive - "cauz we can!! :P")

Cheers :D,

ok, thanks for the data...

[Guest deepower]

no problem. BTW if you're trying to get access to a hotspot (like a open Verizon Wireless hotspot) then there's some tricks that you can use. (It works like a charm on normal Windows. but you usually dont need any additional software. only some minor DNS and config. change.)

If you're intrested in, you can search with google.

the only thing here of verizon are the development office...

First of all, why the hell do you want to hack a wifi network in a bar :D get a beer and look after women is a better idea in my opninion :P

Second, I think it is NOT possible with the onmia2, the 800mhz processor may be enough, but the thoughest challange will be the battery. I don't think the battery is capable of keeping your device in power when sniffing about 2 million packets. and if it is possible, you have to decode the whole package wich wil be very hard.

Last but not least, I've never seen a wifi sniffer like Aircrack for WM. I think this has to do something with the more used atheros chip, not beiing mounted in our omniaII

It's really hard to do it - even on computers.... and it took like 3,2 hours

Utter rubbish. WEP is very weak and can easily be broken within 5 minutes for the average user. I'd wager that if you had a setup that was optimised for it you could do it in under a minute for a 128bit key.

Google for backtrack then read, read and read some more.

Okay than it is utter rubbish. i really don't remember the encryption becouse it was 2 years or smthn like that ago. even if it didn't took that long, im sure it took more than a battery life (with lots of mem. and cpu use). Even if i was lying, and im really really not, im just trying to make a point.

and backtrack isnt compatible of some drivers, which also in my case didn't so i cant really tell you the time for backtrack

+1. Tried using BackTrack, Wi-Fire and a notebook. Just out of curiosity I gave it a try in the city centre. Managed to get access to more than 5 networks. Cracking the password took less than a minute but spoofing the network to transmit ARP packets was a headache. Had to use packetforge.

Would love to have the same feature on my Omnia II though. :)

..... but spoofing the network to transmit ARP packets was a headache.  .....

Airoscript maybe your savior in this case  :)

[Guest deepower]

is it really that easy with backtrack?? i know the gui but i never used it in action. shame... :)

PS. changing the "utter rubbish" part so all of us can be happy.
