Am I right if I think that the main thing we're looking for is the amount of data packets to increase?
If so, is there a way of speeding up the process? Everything else seem to work alright and the...

I DO want to run the LiveCD from my HDD. For that purpose I copied all the files off the CD on to my HDD.
That's why, after booting up to DOS, I change to /boot/dos and start BT.

Booting from...

On my laptop, BT is starting up and running fine when I boot from CD.
However, I have a FAT32 partition on my HDD where I put the /boot and /bt directories. On the rudimental DOS I've got ony that...

Here's a really tricky one:

I want to install BT on my little (but nice) laptop that currently has Win XP on it.
However, it's got no CD drive, no floppy, can't boot from USB sticks (it's got USB...

Could it actually be that in fact quite a few sticks can't have different partitions on them?
I'm now on my third stick, the last one being a good quality Samsung, but when I perform the WRITE...

Gee, this place is getting more friendly by the day.
Purehate living up to his name. Guess I've been warned.
I LOVE THIS WORLD!

uhm.... thanks a lot, i guess!

When I try to monitor a network that has a space in its name (for example "brewer street"), then aireplay complains that the ESSID is invalid (or something to that effect). I tried just using the...

Is there any way to disable the BT startup sound?
I'm currently running BT off my USB memory stick (Live version)... So is there a way to make the change permanently? Sadly my laptop doesn't have a...

Funny, I thought that's what I did, but I tried again now, and it works. Don't know why, but I'm happy anyway! :)

Hi Shamanvirtuel,

I'm trying to follow your instructions, but I'm stuck already at the very beginning:
when using cfsidk, after setting up all partitions and selecting "write", I get the error...

I tried to follow the instructions found on here elsewhere, where I copy all the contents of the CD to the stick and then make the boot sector on the USB stick.
So far, so good: the laptop boots...

Well, the guys from aircrack-ptw just seem to be rather proud that they can, and I quote from their website: "it is possible to recover a 104 bit WEP key with probability 50% using just 40,000...

I'm running test on my network and getting mixed results...
On some days AIRCRACK-PTW finds the key within seconds (and a couple of thousand of received packets), and on other occasions I can...

Yeah, well, everybody started out small, right?
Thanks for the help anyway.
Now, the trouble is actually not so much me not being able to find my own MAC address, but that it's "Not Associated"...

I'm using the Backtrack Live CD and I tried to follow the instructions as on the backtrack video, but the step where my own WIFI address is shown (the "cat something" command) doesn't work... Which...

Wow, that's very fast. I've been able to do it now, but it took well over 30 minutes.
This is my first excursion to Linux, so I'm not good with it. Backtrack is easy enough to use with all the...

Newbie here, after a bit of work I think I got everything up and running with Backtrack2.

I'm collecting packets, and so far got about 50.000 IVs after about 30 mins, but aircrack so far has...
