All the -n options in aircrack-ng???

[-=Xploitz=-]

Hello all,

I was reading all the diffrent options in the aircrack-ng documentation here

http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=aircrack-ng

and I saw this.....

Option............... Param.............Description

-n.......................nbits............. (WEP cracking) Specify the length of the key: 64 for 40-bit ...............................................WEP , 128 for 104-bit WEP,..etc. The default value is 128.

And I was wondering...what are ALL the -n options??? like -n 64 .... -n 128 ... etc...anyone know?? Is there a -n 256 option??

Thanks

64 and 128 are standard. Some vendors may offer 256. A standard Linksys WRT54G offers 64 and 128.

ok....thanks theprez98,

I was just currious that if I ever came across a 256 encryption that I could use the -n 256 option...so its just -n 64 -n 128 and -n 256???

I don't know of any specific vendors that allow 256 as an option but I believe there are some out there. Not sure about using the -n 256 option, you might be better off asking that on the aircrack-ng forum or irc channel.
