Hunt Down & Crack WEP Wi-Fi Networks [Tutorial]

How to Use Aircrack-ng & Besside-Ng to Crack WEP Passwords

Cyber Weapons Lab, Episode 009

While the security behind WEP networks was broken in 2005, modern tools have made cracking them incredibly simple. In densely populated areas, WEP networks can be found in surprising and important places to this day, and can be cracked in a matter of minutes. We'll show you how this works, and explain why you should be careful to avoid hacking into a honeypot.

This helped me become better freinds with my neighbors who just moved in. They had had a wep network for about 2 weeks. So I cracked it and went to their house with my laptop to prove I did it. Set their WiFi to wpa2 encryption and told them I would help with any other technological means. It was a fun day.

can you please share the link from where you bought all the adaptors and other tools?

I set my router with WEP and try to hack me but it didn't worked, IVs keeps going up but nothing, even tried with wifite and nothing, I think this method only works with really old routers

Awesome, is there a good way to create a honeypot network? It sounds like an interesting experiment to to try.

Hi,
Very interesting videos you make, one question is what kind of usb WiFi adapter you used in this tutorial and is it working good with latest Kali Linux and supporting monitor and AP mode in Kali
Is it Pau09 or Pau06
Thanks and keep up the good work.

Hi what is the reason of this output ? can you redirect me ?

[oqocraft]

A neighbor has a (trap) WEP AP and when you connect by cracking it, it rickrolls you

[rockyhellboa]

Just like yours i too have panda pau06 but its antenna small which antenna did you attached to it? Can i attach any antenna to the WiFi adapters like tplinks tp-ant2408cl?

Can you make a tutorial on how to crack wep key on windows? because i cant seem to find any videos that provide what im looking for and im sure it will be helpful for many other windows users like me

[hamu.u]

i have a panda pau09 and anytime i try hacking a wifi i always have an error message saying that the access point is on a different channel.i have tried researching but i had no luck please help!!!!

[spookycancer]

why when I run Airodump-ng there is no wifi available, do you know the solution

[mrjeffin]

I am getting below error when i an running Is it necessary that i need to use a dictionary file.. Or can i crack it by running against the handshake file that i capture, .cap file.

aircrack-ng /root/test-02.cap
Opening /root/test-02.cap
Read 67133 packets.

# BSSID ESSID Encryption

1 A4:A1:6D:EX:D0:B1 Happy WPA (1 handshake)

Choosing first network as target.

Opening /root/test-02.cap
Please specify a dictionary (option -w).


Quitting aircrack-ng...
