How to Hack WEP using a Mac or Linux

Previously, we’ve shown you how to hack WEP in less than 10 minutes. Now we’ll show you how it can be done specifically on a Mac or Linux box. The tutorial demonstrates KisMac which has the ability to reinject packets and crack WEP keys from a single application. Check out the step by step video demonstration. You can also download KisMac or Kismet (if you’re running linux). If all else fails, you could always try some default router passwords.

This video is pretty poor;-

1) not mention of the wifi adaptor being used as it is obviously not the built in airport card.
2) quality is very low so you cannot see what is being done here.

Make your own video if you are so good at this rather than publishing others out there already.

re: jon doe
1) on the main page they identify it as “The network card used in the video is a Netgear MA111 v1 USB device. You require a card with a Prism2 chipset to be able to reinject packets.”

2) the video is fine! If I had to guess it’s over 800×800

3) stop hating. put up something better if you feel like whining
