Thanks to a flaw in WiFi Protected Setup, most home and small business routers could be giving away free WiFi.

Plommer learned how to crack WEP passwords from watching the video tutorials and reading the articles.


We will look into this!

This is some bullshit

Some bastard could watch kiddie porn on your connection and you could have feds crashing through your door

This is some bullshit

 

[betplom]

Bastards have nothing to do with it pal.

Pedophiles are the problem l

Nice find Plommy...

why is this a one star thread? no way

Uh oh. Plommer's turning into a script kiddie.

Surprised you're just finding out about this now, Plom. The WEP RC-4/IV attack has been around for ages.

Is this seriously possible? I'll have mini panic attacks now if so. My luck is baddddddddd lately.

 

[reno cool]

I wouldn't worry about that

 

[Oksana]

I wouldn't worry about that

Oh I am now. It'll happen to me if it's going to happen to any of us. For the past month I've been like that Pigpen from Charlie Brown who always has the cloud over his head. But mine's from bad luck, not from dirt. I'm actually nervous to get on the plane.

Plommer has been cracking WEP for a few years now.

Usually keep a bootable usb stick with the live ISO of Backtrack Linux with me in my laptop bag for easy access to WEP protected routers.
(in case free wifi isn't provided at the location already)

The article in the original post is referring to cracking WPA protected routers, not WEP.
I wasn't clear about WPA when I started this thread, some fukkin pro.

Plommer has been a script kiddie for a while now, repetition is a good way to learn the unix/linux command line.

We will now attempt to crack WPA !!!


Tally Ho!

This works!

Damn, was hoping for a lifelike pinnaple-shaped router.
