Below are examples of how to connect to your network in backtrack 3

This is how to connect using wep or open encryption (with dhcp enabled) <<<<< MOST USERS
Remove all brackets from the following, substituting (dev) with your interface e.g wlan0, ath0

1. airmon-ng stop (dev)

2. rm /etc/dhcpc/*

3. ifconfig (dev) up

4. iwconfig (dev) ap (bssid)

5. iwconfig (dev) key (wep key) LEAVE THIS STEP OUT IF YOUR NETWORK IS OPEN

6. dhcpcd (dev)




This is how to connect using wep or open encryption (without dhcp enabled)
Remove all brackets from the following, substituting (dev) with your interface e.g wlan0, ath0

1. airmon-ng stop (dev)

2. rm /etc/dhcpc/*

3. ifconfig (dev) up

4. iwconfig (dev) ap (bssid)

5. iwconfig (dev) key (wep key) LEAVE THIS STEP OUT IF YOUR NETWORK IS OPEN

6. ifconfig (dev) 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0

7. route add default gw 192.168.1.1

Now if you want to add a dns server

8. Open file /etc/resolve.conf

You should see something like this:-

search localhost.localdomain

9. Add your Primary and Secondary Domain Name server (DNS) ip at the end of the file so it should look like this:-

search localhost.localdomain
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220


10. Now save and close the file



This is how to connect using WPA2 Personal TKIP+AES (with dhcp enabled)

1. airmon-ng stop (dev)

2. rm /etc/dhcpc/*

3. Open this file /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf, copy and paste the following


ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
ap_scan=1

network={
ssid="THE NAME OF YOUR NETWORK"
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP
psk="YOUR WPA KEY"
}


replace THE NAME OF YOUR NETWORK with the name of your network, e.g bt-homehub, and replace YOUR WPA KEY with your Passphrase e.g password1

5. Now save it.

In a new shell write

6. ifconfig (dev) up

7. iwconfig (dev) mode Managed

8. chmod 755 /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

9. wpa_supplicant -w -Dwext -i(dev) -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf <<< change (dev) to your device remove bracket but do not put a space e.g -iwlan0

Now you will see some action in this shell, just leave it

open a new shell, write

10. dhcpcd (dev) <<<<<< remove brackets and insert your device eg dhcpcd wlan0




This is how to connect using WPA2 Personal TKIP+AES (without dhcp enabled)

Copy steps 1-9 above but instead of entering step 10 from above start with this new step 10

10. ifconfig (dev) 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0

11. route add default gw 192.168.1.1

Now if you want to add a dns server

Open file /etc/resolve.conf

You should see something like this:-

search localhost.localdomain

Add your Primary and Secondary Domain Name server (DNS) ip at the end of the file and it should look like this:-

search localhost.localdomain
nameserver 888.888.888.888
nameserver 888.888.888.999

I would like to say that if people are n00b enough to connect to internet then I think instead trying hands on backtrack 3 they should go for some easy user friendly distro like fedora core or mandrake or ubuntu.

you were a NOOB once ... dont you ever forget it

and a noob stays a noob just for so long ...

Looks like this quick guide helped someone already Secure. Secure I know what backtrack is ment for , you know what backtrack is ment for, I agree with you - certain people that download it however DO NOT. How long are people going to stay on any linux dist if they dont even know how to connect to the internet and their only taste of it was BT? I am guilty of telling people to try an easier distro myself, however when you think about it constently promoting this message is not helping the BT community grow

I was not that much n00b to try hands on backtrack 2/3 directly.I learned from fedora core 5 first then I came to know about Slackware and backtrack 3.n00b in the sense,I told because everyone wants to start basics from backtrack 3 as its not a normal home using distro.you must understand the words.hope you got what I was referring.

thats cool secure it but i get it ovcourse
i know its hard but you understand that , its fun when its hard , and chalanging

plus i use bt3 for spicific things that i cant get with any linux distro

its like a tool in my toolbox among many other powerful tools

i use it in my studies .. and need to explore and understsnd the net infstracture

ps i dident realy need the alfa instroctins

it works great

[killadaninja]

Secure like I said before I agree with you BT is not an everyday home users distro. But shell commands are no harder to learn than on any other linux distro. I did not nessercerily write it for pure noobs, it was just the quickest and easiest way and I had not seen it here before.

Nice post... thats funny you made this because I just got my Alfa yesterday and did a search of this exact topic right here because the Alfa keeps making wireless assistant crash lol...

Thanks, this was an easy summary of what the interwebs told me about connecting to WEP through the commandline.

Better than the horribly buggy wifi assistant
