open a konsole type sudo wicd

Then under internet run the wicd wifi client manager thing (can't remember exact name)

Thanks for that, there is a typo

cp --preserve -R /{bin,dev,home,pentest,root,boot,usr,etc,lib,opt,sb in,var} /mnt/backtrack

should be

cp --preserve -R...

As the Db gets higher, the range is further but the focus is narrower ( you have to point the antenna more in the direction of the wifi signal )

I use to have a 7db worked good.

this helped me a while ago http://www.sillychicken.co.nz/security/how-to-brute-force-your-router-in-windows.html

are you running it in a virtual machine? if so internal cards wont work, use a usb card

internal wifi adapters do not work in a virtual machine... if you are running a virtual machine you are limited to usb adapters.

I have a IPW3945 goes fine in non vm

Very strange issue...... but it works


ok my notebook has a IPW3945 i load the ipwraw module... can do full fake auth and replay but injection slow..no biggie..... with my awus036s rt73 module...

Whoo hoo goes great!! booted from cd installled to HDD ran xconf, resolution was perfect 1280x800 on the Nvidia Go 7400, sound goes the Xd reader even shows up in the lspci list but yet to test it....

whats the brand model of the card?

you could try modprobe rt73 to load the module

and ifconfig -a is your card show up here?

Im having trouble doing a fake auth i have lowered my RATE to 1MB and use aireplay-ng -o 1

it says authentication successful but never shows up in the airodump list as a client... anything i can...

have you tested this? on BT or otherwise?

Your updated iso did it for me CHEERS!! :) :) :)

Someone could port scan your server and find services listening on ports

IE port 80 webserver,21 FTP etc

try nmap with -A to find versions
