Has anyone here cracked a WPA protected router?

[betplom]

I have cracked MANY WEP protected routers but never attempted cracking a WPA router.

Reason is simple, cracking WEP takes less than 5 minutes using Backtrack (aircrack-ng).

Cracking WPA takes 2-12 hours.

I'm running a vmware virtual machine (Backtrack 5r3) on my Windows 7 laptop and am attempting to crack a wpa protected router using REAVER.

I expect it to be complete by midnight at the latest.

I'll let you know how it goes.


PS: I use an Alfa AWUS036H 1000mW 1W 802.11b/g USB Wireless WiFi Adapter.

Bit of a criminal.

BTW you mean WPS, not WPA. Had me scared for a second here.

 

[betplom]

No, I mean WPA/2 encryption.

Backtrack includes a program called Reaver that exploits most routers - about 80% of them have a flaw that allows their PIN to be cracked, which will also provide the passphrase or passcode used to access the router.

Shit is fun.

If my apt was higher up I'd setup something to grab signals from routers based in Detroit and fuck with them a little bit too.

Why is it I get the feeling Matty dropped everything to go and change the password on his WPA protected routers?

Considering it.

Matty doesn't need routers. Routers need Matty.

 

[betplom]

Considering it.

That will help with a brute force dictionary attack but it won't help if your router is the kind that will give up the factory setup (router) "PIN" to reaver when requested to do so.

I have too much time on my hands and enjoy learning so I will attempt most of the methods available in order to crack every fucking one of my neighbors routers.

Free internet > paid internet.

You should get a Yagi Plommay. You could have a lot of fun with it, I'm sure. You can find wireless signals up to a mile away.

Doesn't look like it supports packet injection, which my Alfa AWUS036H does and is a prerequisite for my needs.

That one was just an example. I used to work with this guy in film that had one; anytime they parked the truck he would take his out and point it at an apt building and be online in about 5 minutes or less

Thank you, thank you very much!

PS: There is no script involved, pal. Just a few commands in a terminal window.
(but you knew that already).

Now give us a fukkin winner!

I love my new/old laptop. It's an Acer Travelmate 6291. It fell into dis-repair and a buddy of mine fixed it for me (it took him 2 years to do it...lol) On the upside, I have just set it up with a cracked version of Windows 7 Ultimate and the newest version of Ubuntu. It is cool having a dual boot laptop. Ubuntu is pretty impressive considering it is free. It is an older dual core laptop and it runs surprisingly well with a Linux o/s.

I love re-purposing shit.

Installed Xubuntu on my 4yo HP netbook, bought a new battery for it off eBay ($20), and it now sits in my backpack as a travel laptop. Runs much smoother with Xubuntu than Win 7.
