The code is never trasnmitted. The data is encrypted with the code and only the code on the other side can be used to decrypt it. Most brute-force systems work

The code is never trasnmitted. The data is encrypted with the code and only the code on the other side can be used to decrypt it.
Most brute-force systems work by capturing packets to hard drive and then attempting to decrypt them offline. Or you can upload your captures to the cloud: https://www.cloudcracker.com/ https://www.cloudcracker.com/
- ikeboy 12y agoWhat about setting up a WEP access point to impersonate the WPA one, then getting the password from that? Still seems more likely to work than what it's doing now.
- jagermo 12y agoYou'd still need the Pre-Shared key to create a legitemate looking access point, so it is kind of a catch-22. WPA/WPA2 as a system is actually not that bad (for home use).
- ikeboy 12y agoWhy? If WEP is vulnerable, then if victim connects to a WEP fake and enters their password, we should be able to read that. Like a downgrade attack.
- ikeboy 12y agoWould this work against WEP? Or is the standard capture and crack better?
- thefreeman 12y agoYou can attack WEP with active attack that defeats the encryption in a matter of seconds. The only thing you need to remember about WEP is just don't use it.
