-=Xploitz=- TUTORIAL: E-Z Connect To WPA Personal With AES

[-=Xploitz=-]

Hi all,

I first off done my handshake, but just to point out that i do not have bt2 installed im working off my hda4 & everything saves there, there was NO files in etc/dhcpc, so I have created my wpa_supplicant.conf file in etc directory
I have then ran the commands as follows

**notice**
I am running this inside the etc directory, as I have tried while in
bt root #
bt hda4 #
& only seems to work when in bt etc #

bt etc # chmod 755 wpa_supplicant.conf
bt etc # wpa_supplicant -w -Dwext -iath0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Failed to read read or parse configuration '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'.
bt etc # wpa_supplicant -w -Dwext -iath0 -c/etc wpa_supplicant.conf **WITHOUT THE / BEFORE WPA_SUPPLICANT.CONF AND GET THIS
ioctl[SIOCSIWMODE]: Invalid argument
Could not configure driver to use managed mode
CTRL-EVENT-TERMINATING - signal 2 recieved

This is where I am stuck

Your using an Atheros chipped card? If so make sure yours is ath0 and not ath1, ath2 etc...If it is one of the ath1, ath2..etc's..use them instead of my ath0.


***EDIT***


BTW please post your wpa supplicant for me to take a look at. And are you sure your using WPA AES and not WPA TKIP or WPA2 TKIP or WPA2 AES+TKIP???

Im using Atheros & it is definetly ath0 deffo deffo

Supplicant is below
& Encryption I am using is WPA PSK

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
ssid="h@ckm3"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=WPA
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP
psk="aerohydroplane"
priority=3
}

ath0 is in monitor mode and wpa_supplicant can't change it to managed mode, so you need to do it manually.

Try this:
airmon-ng stop ath0
wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0
ifconfig ath0 up
and then run wpa_supplicant again.

excellent, I never twigged that ath0 was in monitor mode, I'll give this a try tonight when I get home & let you all know, cheers for the answers

Good eye Neklez!! I cant believe I overlooked that....

"Could not configure driver to use managed mode"


Also, if you still can't connect samsung, I use these commands to get back into managed mode. Slightly different than Neklez.

wlanconfig ath0 destroy
wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode managed
ifconfig ath0 up
wpa_supplicant -w -Dwext -iath0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
dhcpcd ath0

I really hope you can get it working this time. And again,...good eye Niklez. Thanks for helping. Very cool of you to speak up.

Thanks Neklez & -=Xploitz=- for replying.

I tried both ways & pasted in as showing below

bt etc # wlanconfig ath0 destroy
bt etc # wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0
ath0
bt etc # wlanmode managed

bash: wlanmode: command not found
*** SO I RUN THE WLANCONFIG ATH0 TO CONFIRM IN MANAGED MODE - HOWEVER I NOTICE IT SAYS ACCESS PONT NOT ASSOCIATED, I AM APPROX 1 METER FROM IT & I HAVE MY OTHER LAPTOP ON USING WIRELESS READING THESE INSTRUCTIONS

bt etc # wlanconfig ath0

bt etc # wpa_supplicant -w -Dwext -iath0 -c/etc wpa_supplicant.conf

bt etc #

& THIS IS WHERE IT ENDS :'(

Shoot! Sorry samsung..my commands ran together ..I edited them above..please retry.

BTW is your essid cloaked??

And yes...the following is one long command....

wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode managed

I have then ran the commands as follows

So did I understood correctly that your wpa_supplicant.conf is in /mnt/hda4/etc folder?
If so, you should try running wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iath0 -c/mnt/hda4/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

Because -c/etc wpa_supplicant.conf is not right command.

You can check where your wpa_supplicant.conf is by following.
Go to folder where it is, type "pwd" (without " "). It gives you path which you should use after -c.

And if it's still not working, please use -dd option with wpa_supplicant, and post here what it says.

Hope you understand what i try to say.

ok, trying both commands you have advised i have moved on & got a little further, I get

Trying to associate with (mac address) (SSID='h@ckm3' freq=2412 MHz)
Trying to associate with (mac address) (SSID='h@ckm3' freq=2412 MHz)
this continues down the page before eventually timing out, so it's trying to do something

Then get
Netowrk is down
Authentication with 00:00:00:00:00 timed out.
Failed to initiate AP scan
Then it trys to associcate again

-=Xploitz=- - My essid is not cloaked

Im nearly there

Could you please post output of wpa_supplicant with -dd option?
Just run it like you normally do, but add in the end -dd.
