I recently bought a touch not long ago, and I want to use the internet during school. However, the school locks it with a WEP code, and I cannot access it. Is there a way for me to download a program to the touch that will allow me to connect to it or find its password?


Oh and haha, is it possible to use hotmail on the email application for the Ipod touch?

Wouldn't advise trying to crack your schools wep key. Walls have ears and someone will grass.

As for the hotmail thing you can setup pop3 for hotmail. Just google 'pop3 hotmail setup' you'll find several guides with the settings.
 
yeah, google is your friend. Some of my buddies and I got our school's wep key through research from google and learning how to sniff packets. They recently started blocking mac addresses, so now I need to figure out how to spoof the touch' s mac

well there is a way but you have to be jailbroken. go to cydia, search "spoofmac" install it. then go to home, click it, type in 5 two digit numbers with semi colens inbetween, then click spoof.
 
Proxy

You could try and find out your schools proxy settings? Thats what i did :D oh btw im on my ipod atm LOL
:D
 
To change your mac address, you could also use the terminal app from Cydia.
 
u dnt knw what ur talking about

to break in to lol. i like to hack stuff

for one if you break in ur not a hacker but a cracker dumbass a hacker has nothing to do with that **** real hackers hate that crap so remember this **** and pass it on
 
Heaven forbid you guys actually go to school to, you know, learn something. (And no, learning how to "hack the network" isn't what I mean)

Seriously. You're children. Enjoy it while you can. Don't take school for granted, because I guarantee you'll regret it later.
 
the solution you are looking for is 'social engineering'. google it if it seems unfamiliar.

it should be obvious to anyone with the slightest amount of actual information instead of 'lulz, hack the network' that your ipod broadcasts a hardcoded id# that you can be personally identified with even if you do manage to get to the network and are considered unauthorized. yes, it is possible to spoof things like mac's, and other id#'s.

given that you haven't been able to figure this out on your own, consider this little bit of text a fair warning.
 
Why would you guys want to crack a school wifi? Don't they track the browsing history? Or is it just for staffs? My school has a wifi and you have to login with your school account :( There are wep key generators though.
 
Definatley not a good idea. almost got suspended for it, plus, there's always the web filter programs. Even if you managed to get it, it wouldn't do much.
 
What if you cracked the password but you can't connect to the web?

In my experience this is because some schools have a small portal program that authenticates you as an authorized user. If not authorized you can do nothing with the exception of having bragging rights for figuring out the Wi-Fi's password.

Coming from somebody who use to try to get around the schools block on their network (term filters, and usually pretty successful at this), if they have blocked it, you probably shouldn't be doing that in class anyway. Except for the few occasions that whatever research you're trying to do for a paper is being blocked by those filters.
 
My school uses WPA2-Enterprise. We just enter in our username and passwords and we're good to go. All schools should be doing this.

Yes it's possible. If your Ipod is jailbroken. Go to Cydia. Look up Wififofum install it and confirm it. Go to installous and look up WEPGen. Install it. When you go to Cydia it will show you all the wifi connections locked or unlocked click on whichever one you want. Copy down the numbers at the top when you click on the wifi network. Then you would go to WEPGen. Enter those numbers. It will show you codes and you need to enter any one of the codes when you go to Settings and Wifi Connection.:)
 
We just guessed ours in school. It took less than a full lunch time. I can't even remember what it was now but it was something really obvious. They then changed it and we just kept getting somebody who was in some club that used the WiFi to tell us it.

School was so simple and fun.
