HackFest Series: Airodumpng

Fri Mar 20 07:34:28 MST 2009

Mike, 

You just admitted on an international board, that you are attempting to steal the private property key of a neighbor.  Can't I tell you how clueless you appear? Your technical skills are starting to get fairly good, so we don't want you to be taken for a long timeout in jail?

I, therefore will not help you to encroach your local neighbors WEP key.  Have you tried walking over and asking the neighbor?  That is generally the best approach, other than going to a coffee shop or sitting outside a hotel in the car running your notebook?  

There is a person attempting to use their accesspoint who you might be affecting?  They work and pay for their equipment?  Are you intelligent or are you another zombie of inanity born of lies?  

I can suggest the verification steps for the process (from your notes) in a lab only format: 

1) Verify that your wireless card IS on the list of those that can be placed into promiscious mode via airodump (although if you get a BSSID, using channel 3, it might appear you are happily promiscious)?

>      airodump-ng -w capture -c 6 wifi0
> using channel (-c) 
> -c 3 gets one BSSID variously flagging in contention with a second channel 3 (contending for channel)
> wait for it to appear again but a different MAC appears. <cntrl-c>
> So  I go on to the next step: I open  a new shell and type
>      aireplay-ng -0 10 -a <MAC> -c <I don't know my MAC>

YOUR mac can be displayed via ifconfig 

> so I try without my MAC... to no avail! on to the next step
>      aireplay-ng -3 -b <MAC> -h
> I don't know what value  to put after the h.
> ARGHHHH.

I can point you to a source for further information (for intellectual purposes only):
http://securitytube.net/AirodumpNG-Basics-(Part-I)-video.aspx

Again, I want to remind you that using BackTrack3/airodumpng and encroaching via a BT3/4 wireless tool is illegal, unethical and can land you in jail whereupon your only "technical tool" will be a very short dull penci

I am happy to assist you to learn the ins and outs of technology, practical lab testing, and personal as well as production internet security, but I will not assist you to steal, or hack unethically.

Also, I would like to warn you clearly that there are people just hanging out waiting to hack you.  Airodumpng has a boundary condition error that will cause a buffer overflow.  In highly congested areas (Universities or security conventions) using Airodumpng will get YOU HACKED and PWN'd!

If you are not hacking ethically to learn, you are simply a script kiddie, a less evolved criminal and worse.  I will not write to you; you will join the many people who are awarded free ads on the back page of 2600 magazine, writing from jail for pen pals.
