- csunbird 7y agoOfftopic: You were faster than my comment! I understand the Yubikey is popular but I do not understand the why the Wi-Fi dongle is popular. Any ideas?
- matchai 7y agoThat wifi dongle in particular supports packet injection, and supports aircrack-ng for penetration testing.
- thelittleone 7y agoIndeed and cheap enough to throw away after each project for improved opsec.
- Godel_unicode 7y agoGiven that you can change the MAC address, how does throwing it away improve opsec...?
- diminoten 7y agoMakes you feel more like an operator, I guess?
- jascii 7y agoIt seems good practice not to assume there are no other ways to id/fingerprint a device then by mac address..
- Godel_unicode 7y agoThat's actually the opposite of good practice; good practice in security is to base your planning off of facts and research. Throwing away your whole setup after every gig works for Mission: Impossible, and I guess it makes people feel extra-super-ninja, in practice it just perpetuates the endless (and pointless) culture of I-know-something-you-don't. Opsec should be based on reality and threat modeling, not endless rounds of whatabout. Edit: if you (the rhetorical you, not parent specifically) actually know something here, chime in!
- jascii 7y agoThat really is the difference between "proven secure" vs "not proven insecure", which would you consider best practice? As far as fingerprinting WiFi devices goes: It is an rf device and all rf devices vary in behaviour due to component tolerances. This shows in such things as spurious emissions, power variations across its transmission spectrum, oscillator drift, etc, etc. These are fairly easy to detect remotely. One example is shown in this paper: https://www.cs.ucr.edu/~zhiyunq/pub/infocom18_wireless_fingerprinting.pdf https://www.cs.ucr.edu/~zhiyunq/pub/infocom18_wireless_finge...
- Godel_unicode 7y agoThat paper states that the accuracy could be as high as 95%. Apple has sold over a billion iOS devices with WiFi radios in them. I'll let you Google the base-rate fallacy for yourself, and decide if that risk is worth it. Edit: make that over 2 billion Edit: also, "proven secure" is impossible.
- jascii 7y agoThe paper is only one such method, there are countless and these methods have been in documented use in signal intelligence since at least WW2, combined your accuracy increases. And this is on top of all the other known methods of fingerprinting network devices.. Besides, most of the time you only care whether the same device was used, 95% gives you a lot of certainty. Within propper constraints "proven secure" certainly is possible.
- dTal 7y agoWhy would you care about opsec for consensual "penetration testing"?
- jascii 7y agoYour security profile needs to exceed that set for the highest level of clearance you could possibly gain. In practice that means exceeding the highest level of security used in an organisation. You wouldn't want to inadvertently exfiltrate a clients data would you? Aside from that, it is not uncommon for say a department to not be aware they are being pen-tested with consent of their management, and you don't want to trigger counter measures.
- dTal 7y agoI upvoted you because your first sentence is a useful observation, but I'm having a hard time using any of that to justify throwing away a wifi adapter. Even if it were possible to fingerprint the adapter beyond its MAC address, there's no global database of whitehat pentester wifi adapter fingerprints, and such a thing would be worthless anyway. You're not going trigger countermeasures by reusing a wifi adapter. The only threat model that remotely makes sense for that kind of precaution is fear of nation-state level resources trying to identify and catch you. And that's well outside of the realm of "pentesting". (And the idea of accidentally exfiltrating data through a reused wifi adapter is ludicrous)
- Sendotsh 7y ago> Description The best wireless adapter for those who use the penetration platform Kali Linux & BackTrack. The wireless USB adapter has been tested to work with Aircrack-ng and supports packet injection along with monitor mode.
- Saus 7y agoI've bought an Alfa adapter 10+ years ago because you can use them in promiscuous mode. So you can snoop wifi traffic, listen for handshakes and doing so crack WEP/WPA (wifi) encryption. Things probably haven't changed..
- mises 7y agoThey have a little. 5ghz is more common, so you won't get any thing there. WPA2 is significantly harder to crack, and I usually do it on GPU with pyrit or hashcat-ocl and a wordlist. WPA3 is out now, too, and I'm there aren't really any well-established procedures for it yet.
- TrueDuality 7y agoJust FYI WPA2 is pretty solidly and quickly broken (lookup KRACK attacks). WPA3 is unfortunately already partially broken (though currently joining the network / password breaking aren't fully broken, see Dragonblood attacks).
- dayofthedaleks 7y agoKRACK is patched on most platforms. What weaknesses in WPA2 remain?
- mises 7y agoKRACK was a nonce re-use, not a core protocol flaw. WPA2's flaws are more around un-encrypted control packets; i.e. I can de-auth you without having to get session keys.
- jgrowl 7y agoThis was a popular adapter more recently because of the WPS pin exploit using something like the reaver tool.
- Noxmiles 7y agoSomeone know a good 2.4/5.0 GHz wifi adapter for these kind of things?
- zoobab 7y agoa good directional antenna makes THE difference.
- arendtio 7y agoany recommendations?
- aphextim 7y agoNot sure if it is what you are looking for but this site has various products regarding tapping, sniffing and pen testing. https://www.wallofsheep.com/ https://www.wallofsheep.com/
- mises 7y agoThe Alfa AWUS1900 is a nice model, but if you want something cheaper (and will put up with 2.4ghz-only), the TP-Link TL-WN722N is cheap, but get the v1 chipset! It's the best-supported with drivers on linux. Oh yeah, and you will probably need to do monitor mode on linux.
- turk73 7y agoOh man, that's hilarious! I fucking hate the Yubikey my company makes me use.

- elbasti 7y agoIs it even safe to buy yubikeys on Amazon given the counterfeit problem?
- capableweb 7y agoGuess there could be two attack vectors, one that is easier to avoid and the other not so much. The first one being a targeted attack. Then any ordering of Yubikeys can leave to vulnerable as the supply chain can be intercepted (because they see it's you and switch out the key to a counterfeit one). This can be solved by going to a in-person store and buying it there. Then there is no risk of you being personally targeted as you can go to any store. The second one, is where all keys sold being counterfeit, which you cannot solve by going to a in-person store or ordering online. Not sure how you could avoid this vector.
- 0xffff2 7y ago>Not sure how you could avoid this vector. While this is a theoretical problem anywhere, it's a practical problem when ordering from Amazon far more often than anywhere else. Going to a reputable physical store likely shields you from the second scenario nearly as well as the first. Also, in the case of Yubico at least, you can order directly from their website, which presumably minimizes the number of hands the product has to go through, thus minimizing opportunities for a counterfeit to be swapped in.
- jolan 7y agoYou can verify whether you received a genuine key at: https://www.yubico.com/genuine/ https://www.yubico.com/genuine/
- willismichael 7y agoUnless some entity can man-in-the-middle attack your attempt at verifying it.
- OrgNet 7y agohttps is not safe against the government....

- jonahbenton 7y agoRecommended products: Alexa
- mercules 7y agoIt's probably part of the reading material for military cybersec.
- mises 7y agoIt recommended me "20 ORANGE SNAPPY GRIP -Bucket Handles -Mining-Gold Prospecting-Gardening" under the customers also bought... I guess I'm just not leet enough. This in spite of the fact that I've actually bought a few external wifi adapters from amazon.
- csomar 7y agoNo kidding. I got the same: https://imgur.com/a/jroD1Ji https://imgur.com/a/jroD1Ji
- quickthrower2 7y agoMore interesting is what the people who will go to their local book store to buy it with cash will also buy, but we'll never know.
