Cracking WEP and WPA keys

Subject: Cracking WEP and WPA keys
Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2005 09:55:30 -0600


I cracked my own WEP a few months ago, I just needed to collect about 800,000
IVs with airodump, then ran aircrack and I got the key in less than one second.
(104 bit WEP) By the way, i collected the whole traffic in 2 hours.

It doesn't just depend on the number of collected IVs, but the weak IVs and your
hardware. My frist try was using a 3Com Card, but I wasn't collecting enough
IVs, then I tried with a Prism2 Intersil card and it was done.

You should give it more time to the airodump stage than to the aircrack one.

Greetings,
Eduardo.
