i'm going to explain in this tutorial how to access wireless networks even though they might have a WEP code on them.
i have not realized before that it could be that easy of a task, but i have found three programs till now that can do the job right.
the first program is calle Airsnort. this program is like a tool that cracks WEP encryption codes or keys. what it does is it monitors the transmissions and then calculates the encryption key when it has gathered enough packets.
for those who dont know what WEP means, WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. this is the encryption algorithm built into the 802.11 (Wi-Fi).
the second program is a package called bsd-airtools, it currently contains a bsd-based (WEP) cracking application. It also contains a curses based ap detection application 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's probably harder to use than Airsnort since it has multiple applications.
the third one is my favorite, it's called wepattack and it's a WLAN open source Linux tool for breaking 802.11 Wired Equivalent Privacy keys. This tool is based on an active dictionary attack that tests millions of words to find the right key. Only one packet is required to start an attack on WEP.
download them and try..hope this tutorial was useful.
