Confused with WPA

[-=Xploitz=-]

Thanks for the torrent to the wordlist Xpolitz.

Can i ask what your opinion is on the problem of me "always having a client" on my network due to the dual router setup - is there a way to hide it?
The least i can try to do is make it more difficult to obtain the handshake, as i have the password covered - its massive now and full of random shapes and squiggles [ watch me balls that up then lol ]

And can i just say thanks to everyone who has posted - its been very insightful - especially the church of wifi link - it made intresting reading

Well..I wouldn't use <<--=m1_n3Tw0RK=-->> because I just added it to my custom uber 133t H4XoR dictionary..lol

Yes..us seasoned pros use custom wordlist only. Yes some of us clip from wordlist here and there and add it to our own "master" wordlist...but all and all the "Art Of Passcraft" is the way. Make your own and tailor them to your social engineering skills (reconnaissance of the target) that way you don't have some large ass 500MB wordlist with a bunch of useless "guesses" in them. Know your target. (This is the social engineering skills I was referring to. )

To answer your other question..maybe if you "cloak" it that would help?

Also,.....as long as you got a damn good password.....AT THE MOMENT........Brute Force and wordlist attacks are the only way to get past your networks WPA or WPA2 security.

Seriously...., Don't try the above password..as cool as I think it is...cause I'm telling you now...if all other passwords in my list fail...I custom make me a list that includes all the coolest looking Uber leet passwords imaginable. (Think like a hacker!!) Cause there are people out there that won't ask you for permission to try to crack your network like I will.


And yes...I really did add your

<<--=m1_n3Tw0RK=-->>

to my list of hackers only wordlist

lol - password changed

You mention cloak? Can i ask you to elaborate please - and feel free to put it in the mosty basic of terminology as im thick as pig poo.

I tried disabling the SSID Broadcast but then my stupid PC couldnt find the damn network - My Network is Windows XP - maybe im missing something in the settings but it just refused to notice the router - even when i hit the PC with it :s

Well im pleased to hear that wordlist / brute force is the only option on WPA, lets hope nobody round here has your skillz Also i would be happy for you to pentest my network - just to see how long it wouldnt take you, i figure it would take about 10 mins of your time lol.

Thanks again for your speedy response

Damn that -=Xploitz=-(<<<name right,eh) he's always guessing my ultra secret hacker passwords. You wanna know how to crack a hackers password. I used wget on milw0rm,packet storm,3 blackhat fourms and created a huge hacker word list. I've been practicing the games on hack my site and smoking pass words left and right. Now -=Xploitz=- I'm changing mine to p455w0rd. Please dont give it away.

Thats the general idea...

- My Network is Windows XP - maybe im missing something in the settings but it just refused to notice the router - even when i hit the PC with it

Of course its not going to discover it. You have to manually set it up to use it....


On the "Choose available Network" screen click "Set up a wireless network for home or small office"

erm - i did actually try that. Winblows still ignores it.

it has the network settings already. It just doesnt connect to it cos it cant see it.

Like W31n3R.

Like W31n3R.

Whats your facination with W31n3R's??? Thats like the second time you mentioned something about my W31n3R..

You can easily connect to it in Linux ..cloaked or not. (cloaked just means turning off broadcast essid in router / AP web interface settings)

In linux.. If you have WEP.....

Delete the ENTIRE contents of your /etc/dhcpc folder

then do
ifconfig <device> down
iwconfig <device> essid <essid here> key xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
ifconfig <device> up
dhcpcd <device>


Please note..in my above commands...If you have a space or special character in your networkd name...use double quotes like this....

ifconfig ath0 down
iwconfig ath0 essid "Xploitz Network" key c6:e6:79:d9:a2
ifconfig ath0 up
dhcpcd ath0

If you have WPA/ or WPA2...follow my guides in the tutorial section. I have a tutorial for every WPA supplicant and WPA/WPA2 encryption out there...(minus radius)

LOL. it's not a fascination, believe me. It's just effing hilarious.

I can hear that guy from the movie "There's something about Mary" saying "Have you seen my WEENUH?"

LOL!
