bsd-airtools is a package that
provides a complete toolset for wireless 802.11b auditing. Namely, it
currently contains a bsd-based wep cracking application, called dweputils
(as well as kernel patches for NetBSD, OpenBSD, and FreeBSD). It also
contains a curses based ap detection application similar to netstumbler
(dstumbler) that can be used to detect wireless access points and
connected nodes, view signal to noise graphs, and interactively scroll
through scanned ap's and view statistics for each. It also includes a
couple other tools to provide a complete toolset for making use of all 14
of the prism2 debug modes as well as do basic analysis of the
hardware-based link-layer protocols provided by prism2's monitor debug
mode. |

OS -- Linux
802.11
Cards -- Suspect Prism |
|
http://wepcrack.sourceforge.net/ |
WEPCrack is an open source tool for
breaking 802.11 WEP secret keys
The current tools are Perl based, and are composed of the following
scripts:
1 - WeakIVGen.pl - This script allows a simple emulation of IV/encrypted
output that one might observe with a WEP enable 802.11 Access Point. The
script generates IV combinations that can weaken the secret key used to
encrypt the WEP traffic
2 - prism-getIV.pl - This script relies on output from Prismdump [or from
Ethereal captures if libpcap has been patched for 802.11 monitor mode],
and looks for IVs that match the pattern known to weakned secret keys.
This script also captures the 1st byte of the encrypted output and places
it and the weak IVs in a logfile.
3 - WEPCrack.pl - This script uses data collected or generated by
WeakIVGen to attempt to determine the secret key. It will work with either
40bit or 128bit WEP.
Additionaly, there is a script prism-decode.pl that will decode most
802.11 frame types. This tool is intended to be used with prismdump, but
could also be used against Ethereal 802.11 saved captures. It might be
useful for capturing SSIDs, AP MAC addresses, or authentication data. |

require any special firmware for the wireless LAN card. In addition to
this, it has support for normal station operations in BSS and possible
also in IBSS. |
