Title: Captured Packets
Post by: otciii on February 03, 2005, 04:54:17 pm

Ok, I have been using Wellenreiter for a week or so know, and I have tons of captured packets.  I have been using Ethereal to decode them and look at them, but I don't really like it's interface.  Probably from my lack of knowledge with the software.  At anyrate, are there any other programs out there that accomplish the same task?  What do you guys use?

Any info would be great, thanks in advance.

Whats the fun in *that*. Besides, it would be dishonest (G).

Actually, no.  If you must know, I am trying to get on a WEP network at work.  We have tons of wireless routers in the building, and they WEP protect them all, and I want to get on them.

Thanks

I think analyzing and cracking WEP passwords is not advisable with something as slow as the Zaurus.  

Rather than waste the effort, I would think it would be easier to call your Helpless Desk and get authenticated the right way. A lot of work places rightly go beyond simple static WEP these days (for example, where I work uses Cisco's LEAP authentication). You won't see this in Wellenreiter.

You can always copy the packets to another machine and use WEPCrack (Win) / Airsnort (Linux), if you really think its worth the effort.
