Crack WPA with Backtrack3

I tried to follow the tutorial but backtrack 3 cant seem to pick up the card gn-ws50g all or any help will be greatly appreciated

Hello, can we capture the password when reauthenticate (handshake) to the AP. Just wondering if this process can be done.

I know we can use password.lst to in the BT3. Does anybody know where we can download more password.lst? Thank

figured it out, i just added a physical drve, cheers

damn how do i access this shared folder in vmware as i can't find it anyware, it says about installing vmware tools but it jst won't install, any ideas?

p.s it's ok i just figured out how to gain access to my 2gig dictionary in VMware in the settings to enable folder share.

Good videos too, better than all here on youtube, you are very clear my friend and videos are presented very well.

p.s i find that doing it your way to get the wpa handshake works most of the time

aireplay-ng -0 5 -a (bssid here) wlan0

but if it doesnt capture the wa handshake after a few tries i do it this way

aireplay-ng -0 15 -a (bssid here) -c (mac, station id) -e (the essid) wlan0

this way works good too.

i cracked a WPA the other day just testing and do you know what password they used.........michael haha come on if you use wpa use a damn stronger password otherwise your prone to attack!!!

i found a bug in this backtrack 3....right if you boot up from the backtrack 3 cd and you do a dictionary attack on wpa then it fails to find the password even with it in the dictionary multiple times or just once it just doesnt find it,

but use VMware and do it and it finds the password straight away in the dictionary, strange!! im using vmware i have a 2gig dictionary but it won't let me access it on my windows, do you know how??

Any chance you can show us how to brute force the password?

If i used "19yjdfkln" your never gonna get it in a dictionary attack.
(or just pm me the command list ;))

Love the video , to bad theres only crummy WEP singles around my place.

lol

nice vid,, very smooth , just read 8 pages of your comments ,lol people r retarted why do both replying to there spaz questions like where do i get this? how do i do this ? S**k me of like that., people google tells u everythink,......................

what you just described is called bruteforcing. emagin the possibilities of all the combinations for 8+ charecters...way to many, you would have to go from 00000000 to ZZZZZZZZ with all the 1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ combinations in between. if you want to figure out the possible combinations you can try learning the math term called permutations.

Hypothetically, wouldn't just normal alphabet combinations set to 8char-15char be more reliable than a dictionary? How can you calculate the possibilities and time? I guess for this you'd also need to know how many operations your processor/computer does. :)

there is no point in brute forcing being that it would take years untill it will go through all the possiblities. as for adding a dictionary, you could either save it to a external harddrive or usb card and set the -w path to that location. the other way is to have it saved on the computer that you are using as set the -w path to the location of the harddrive.

hey, can you please tell me how do you add a dictionary if you do download it? Is it possible since it's a live CD?
Secondly, is there a different way to brute force with some other program rather than Aircrack? I was thinking of a program that actually tries combinations rather than preset words. Do you know if Cowpatty is better ?

Kasper do a google search for "wireless usb adapters for backtrack 3" choose the first link "Offensive-Security" ,there you will have a list of tested usb dongles.some work and some dont.if ur new at it,go with the Gigabyte GN-WS50G b/g everything works outta the box and it wont run u over 30 USD .Also backtrack3 is an OS "operating system" commands such as aireplay-ng,aircrack-ng,airmon-ng ect are programs integrated into the OS.All u need to do is download the live cd,and boot up! goodluck...
