Aircrack-ng on Asus eee

This came from http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=4363

In case the site goes down, here are the details:



Here's how I got it to work (WARNING USE AT YOUR OWN RISK)
I've never actually cracked a WEP code this way, let me know if this is a good technique.

Make sure you're connected to the internet.
Open up a console window (ctrl + alt + t)
Type:

Code:

sudo synaptic
Synaptic package manager should open.
If you have not added the etch repos, do this:

Click on Settings -> Repositories

Click new

Fill in the text boxes to look like this:

(I've put etch as the distro, but stable could work as well. What did you guys do? It's been a while tongue)

Code:

URI: ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian 
Distribution: etch
Sections(s): main contrib non-free
Make sure that the "enabled" checkbox beside this new entry is checked. Click ok.

Now click reload, search for aircrack-ng, and click on the check box to install it, and exit synaptic.

Now, open up wireless networks, find the one you would like to "monitor" and click Details, then write down the channel and mac address.

Now type this into the command line: (where means the channel you found earlier (5, 6, 10...) and the ??:??:??:??:??:?? is the mac address of the access point you found earlier).

Code:

sudo wlanconfig ath0 destroy
sudo wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode monitor
sudo airodump-ng -c  -w dump ath0
Let this run for a while, but make sure you don't use up too much room on the harddrive! Experiment with how many packets you need to capture.
Exit, (ctrl+x).

Now...

Code:

sudo aircrack-ng -b ??:??:??:??:??:?? dump-01.cap
To rebuild the wireless interface (you must do this to connect to a wireless network again)

Code:

sudo wlanconfig ath0 destory
sudo wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode standard

2025 Tap And Map

 Tap And Map is back with new and improved installation instructions!   Here is an old video showing what TapAndMap is, for those who may not know: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRfQzBjrhEE you'll notice that it's been a while since I've touched Tap And Map.   Because it's been so long since I built this, the old installation instructions would NEVER work to build it today (Feb 2025).   Plus, there was a Google Maps API bug that has troubled me all this time, as Google Maps would decide not to reload the page and I'd have to clear my history (lame).  Because my old code was built as an all-in-one method, so packets were sniffed, looked up, displayed, and logged, all in one large monolithic module, there was no easy means to troubleshoot.    So I've now decided to Sniff packets, lookup their IP information, and store the data in one script, and read that file, parse and publish html files in a separate module.  That allowed me to b...

HP c6180 Printer and Vista

Hp c6180 driver issues with Vista Home Premium My wife has a Vista Home Premium laptop, and the HP C6180 Photosmart printer keeps disappearing from her available printers.  The only way I've found to fix the problem is to reinstall all the HP software. When I do this, I have to download the (large..507M software from HP, or reinstall the printer (ONLY the printer, not the scanner) with the installation disk, as the drivers are not discovered with a "Windows Update" setting.  My guess is that is because HP doesn't like people to install only the printer driver, which would be easy, but they want folks to install all their crapware as well, so they are withholding the drivers from the on-line Microsoft printer database.  So keep your installation CD!  I've also found that unless I install everything on the CD or in the Full Version download (HP Customer Participation Program, HP Imaging Device functions, HP OCR SW, HP All-In-one SW, HP Photosm...

atftpd vs tftpd-hpa

Recently I was trying to tftp files from a Windows computer to a Kali box.   One version of Windows worked, but another didn't.    After much troubleshooting, here were my symptoms: I could tftp a file from-to any Kali box from-to another Kali box I could NOT tftp files to a specific Windows 7 box from any Kali box I could NOT tftp files to a Chrooted-Ubuntu-Chromebook box from a Kali box After MUCH troubleshooting, going through every setting in atftpd, it seemed like it literally was a client OS problem.  Different clients simply would not download files---unacceptable. Thus, I switched to tftpd-hpa.   To install: apt-get install tftpd-hpa files go to/come from /srv/tftp, but it needs to be a tftp user. Thus, I needed to: chroot -R /srv/tftp Also, if you want to be able to put files ON the tftp server (from a client), you need to modify /etc/default/tftpd-hpa: change "TFTP_OPTIONS="--secure"  to "TFTP_OPTIONS="--secure --create" ...
