So, the first "full" post for this blog will be just some simple notes about wireless cracking.
Firstly:
- Use backtrack 5 however backtrack 4 has some better support for older cards
- Gerix Wifi Cracking suite makes life pretty easy
- If you are going to be capturing for a continued period, for example: if you are trying to get IVS for a WEP access point and it just isn't being kind and handing them over to you; make sure you use wither a persistent usb install with a large amount of disk or use a installed version of back track.
- I am currently using the following card: USB Realtek
- The following directional yaggi is also brutal: 25GB Yaggi
- Don't use your antennas as drum sticks!
Stay in tune for some details on a neat network tap that is a royal pain to find!
