Any updates on this?

Try using



...it works for me. I have a Toshiba too.

Back|Track 3 recently got released. Don't expect a new release for a long while.

Are you using Back|Track 3?

If so, and if all you want to do is crack your WEP (and not learn), you can use SpoonWEP which is pre-loaded on BT3. It's a very nice tool created by a member here....

Enjoy the idiot's corner :)

Ah, ok, thanks alot for the info! I figured since I wasn't able to read the AIM messages that they were encrypted. Thanks for checkin' it out.

"AIMsniff" works if you want to sniff AIM IM's, but...

driftnet is fun.

It's called "persistent changes". Here's how: http://forums.remote-exploit.org/showthread.php?t=7844

ShadowKill, you got me on the right track! Thanks!

Here's what I did to make it work like I wanted...


#!/bin/bash

konsole -e airodump-ng ath0

chmod 777 myfile

Thank you for the responses...I don't need help with the commands, I would just like for airodump-ng to pop up. For example:


#!/bin/bash

airodump-ng ath0

chmod 777 myfile

I wrote an extremely simple script to put my card into monitor mode, change my MAC, then run airodump-ng...



#!/bin/bash

airmon-ng stop ath0

ifconfig wifi0 down

Sniffing is relatively easy, so I'd suggest messing with dsniff and associated tools.

Have you played with Wireshark at all? I've never used it for passwords, but it is useful for other things. Supposedly you can get passwords from it.

I'm not sure if you have AIM, but if you do, do you mind trying with AIM and seeing if you can read the IM's?

Over my network with a D-link router.

I can see "____ just signed off" when a buddy signs off, but I can't see any IM's.

I have used Wireshark to look at the packets, multiple times actually, but it won't show the conversations.

I've never used Wireshark+Ettercap (together), I think I'll try that :)



I've...

Has anyone on here sucessfully used msgsnarf to sniff AIM conversations?

Has anyone successfully gotten msgsnarf to work with AIM? I can get some information such as "[screenname] has signed off", but I cannot view conversations.

I installed AIMsniff on Back|Track 3,...

Looks great! Thanks again for all the hard work!

Wow Shaman! Thanks alot once again; I know you work extremely hard on this to make our lives easier!

Check out Ettercap. Play with some filters; it's fun :)

What kind of router is it?

I use this and it works fine. I think there's an easier way though:


wlanconfig ath0 destroy
ifconfig wifi0 down
ifconfig ath0 down
wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode managed...

Ha, I was wardriving the other day and came across "d0ntf*ckwitme". It made me chuckle.

Are you using Back|Track 3 final?
