Cracking Secured (WEP/WPA) Wireless Networks with Backtrack!

I’ve always been asked, “is my Wireless Network secure?” and usually reply with “As long as you’re using WPA with a strong password”. However I wanted to test that out and do some penetration testing.

I looked on the supported devices section of a popular distribution called “BackTrack” that seems to have everything you require to penetrate 802.11 wireless access points.

I’ve picked up a NetGear WG111 and a Linksys WUSB54GC, I’ve yet to test either to see if they’re going to work. And in work I mean actually be able to inject packets, as that’s the main reasoning behind it.

I will be using this guide I stumbled upon online via Google search.

So I purchased a Bullet M2 made by Ubiquiti, you can find their site at http://ubnt.com

I grabbed it from http://www.xagyl.com/ which is located in Ontario, there are no places in British Columbia that I know of that carries Ubiquiti or Microtik Products. This device supports POE (YAY), but I had to get a POE inverter.

I also purchased an omni-directional antenna, and I was surprised when I got the package. This is the antenna I bought.

This is what it looks like, I was totally suprised.

So this “2.4GHz 12dBi Omnidirectional Antenna N Male Connector” antenna, is long! Those are my keys on the ground!
