Cracking WEP with Kismac

[bojan6089]

Hi.
Im running Leopard and i would like to crack my WEP secured wireless router.
I am using my Airport extreme card.
Is there any way? Can someone describe me step by step because im not really big expert in these things. Thank you.

Why Do you want to crack it? It's very hard you know!

Dodgy ground - if it's your own network then that's fine.

The best place to look is the Kismac website (google it, no links here 🙂). They have an extensive wiki stating which Airport cards are compatible (the newer broadcom ones arent') and good forums.

Why try and crack your own network? Am I missing the obvious?
Just curious… 😉

Because my brother locked it from me 😡
No hidden reasons at all....

Buy a new router, trash his and lock him out. 😛

LOL.
good idea 😀

I would hope that if ripping dvd's, illegal torrents, and such are taboo on the site, that cracking any security would be too.

I understand sometimes you get locked out of your own stuff, but I would have to say it's a bit too easy for others to get the info if you post it (not that they can't find it elssewhere).

The last I knew is all you need to do is re-set it back to the factory settings using the re-set in the router.

You can just reset the router...(hold reset button for 10-15 seconds).

Edit: whoops didn't see your post cracher

The obvious solution would be to tell your brother to stop being a douchebag and give you the password.
