WEP password cracking without SSID

NewnanIT — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 14:49:08 +0000

Can a WEP password really be cracked in under 5 minutes with a packet sniffer? Is this true even if the site does not have a SSID?

Wireless Windows 7 Wizard WEP pass-phrase

TomLiotta — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 23:07:58 +0000

I have a small home network with an old Linksys WRT54G router that has simple WEP active. I’m at the end of a private road surrounded by acres of forest and not overly concerned about security. If someone wants to stumble through the forest just to access my basic DSL…?

I have a number of devices conecting fine, going out a DSL router to my ISP.
Now I’m needing to connect a new laptop w/Windows 7.

My WEP pass phrase is nine characters long. Earlier Windows has no problem. Linux has no problem. But Windows 7 refuses to believe me. The wizard rejects it, telling me that it can’t possibly be correct since the pass phrase must be 13 characters long. It doesn’t try it; it simply rejects it.

Is there any way to configure wireless/Windows 7 other than the blasted wizard that clearly knows that what I want to do isn’t what I want to do? I already know the pass phrase is expected be 13 characters, but I really don’t want to change the router and the other devices just because some wizard can’t handle it. I’m right on the edge of dumping Windows entirely.

Security of MAC-based wireless access permissions

ITKE — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 14:44:25 +0000

A colleague and I were recently debating whether it’s an OK policy to allow wireless access based on users MAC addresses. He has a small office where most people are wired, but a few are wireless and are part of that notorious gang that can’t be bothered with passwords.

He also said that basing authentication on MAC address gets rid of network misidentification problems on the client end.

I say malarky, and whatever benefits he’s seeing aren’t worth the security risks if a spoofer comes in and sees what’s going on.

Am I just old fashioned, or is he opening up a hole the size of a barn?

WLAN Security Solution

Tele2009 — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 16:41:32 +0000

Hello. I’m currently working on a project on WLAN security. I already addressed the issues of vulnerabilities in WEP which were supported by some experimental tests. Now I’m struggling to find a best proposed security solution which should be ideal for not only home network but also an enterprise network. Is WPA2 the best solution for security? I will appreciate if I may support the proposed security solution with some tests and results.

Linksys router issue

Pressler2904 — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 17:05:55 +0000

We are a small organization using Linksys WRT54G wireless routers in a section of our offices. One router will not accept a change from WEP to WPA2. Attempts to update the firmware (in the hopes that this would resolve the issue) fail both from the external updater and from within the router configuration web pages. Is this router toast, or is there any way resurrect it?

To connect to a wireless network?

Rahul Shrivastava — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 09:09:43 +0000

I am trying to connect to my company’s wi fi network. Is it neccessary to know the SSID name and the WEP Or WPA key? Also can we try sniffers like aircap to gather and capture the required credentials. Do tools like these capture the SSID name and the encryption key also?
