DS Misc > aircrack on dslinux?

#96549 - 666 - Thu Aug 03, 2006 7:53 pm

is it possible to install aircrack on DSlinux and crack some WEP encrypted wireless networks? ;)

#96554 - JAKETHESNAKE - Thu Aug 03, 2006 8:38 pm

im not sure if that is leagal. dslinux would never do that. cracking wep keys is not leagal! mods, pleasse close the thread!

Well someone took the time to enable encryption on their AP for a reason (to keep unwanted people off their network).

I doubt the proper mode is supported in DSLinux yet, I wouldn't mind just being able to capture unencrypted packets though.

If they're dumb enough to use WEP, then you might as well crack it... You can crack WEP in less than five minutes, usually.

WEP ftl.

I disagree. Some (for instance, the DS homebrew community) are forced to use WEP, because their devices aren't compatible with WPA or are to weak to use it. Plus, WPA is a pain in the ass to use in general.

So what do you use with ur DS smartypants? No encryption :D

#96575 - brennan - Thu Aug 03, 2006 10:48 pm

None, but I live in the middle of no where. (Besides a few old people)

And MaHe is right, with hoembrew, your forced to not encrypt or to use WEP.

All of my computers are directly wired to my router (D-Link DI-624), and my Linksys WAP11 is only used for my NDS.

I use mandatory 128bit WEP on my Linksys WAP11 with MAC filtering (yes the NDS does 128bit WEP just fine).

If I had a laptop that was portable, I would buy a Linksys WAP54G and use WPA-PSK.

Open or shared?

I believe it is shared.

My key is composed of a random string of text from here.

Anything short of EAP or LEAP (or anything that changes the encryption on a regular basis) is crackable. And even a very poor implementation of them could be cracked (if you set the time to long).

I doubt the core DS Linux team would put something like that in DS Linux by default. And I don't know if it would be any use if they did, as cracking encryption takes horsepower and the DS isn't exacly a monster in that area.

aircrack on DSlinux would be useful when I'm at my grandma's house, because the people without WEP moved out of the apartment next door, and people with WEP moved in :P

If you find it morally legal, you could also lend a laptop and crack the encryption then use it on the DS.

Sure, we'll just capture enough traffic and then set to work brute forcing the key on a 66/33Mhz machine with 5 hours battery life. No problems.
[/sarcasm]

Unless you are testing a network for weaknesses and have permission, you have no reason or right to crack WEP keys.

And the DS doesn't have the power to do it (at least I wouldn't think it would).

I live in a neigbourhood with few tech savvy people.
I use 128bit Open WEP with MAC filtering. I change key weekly.
It would take someone with some knowledge and time to crack the network, also they need to spoof MAC adresses and such.

Unless someone was determined to get in and use my internet connection they aren't going to bother. MAC filtering and such is a deterrent (OK, WEP encrypts your data too, but still acts as a deterrent). I feel my network is as secure as I can get it (DS doesn't support 256bit keys, and some of my computers are too slow for WPA). To be honest, I get more threats from the internet, not outside my house (port scans and such).

People talk about 'security' like it's a place. It's not; it's a journey.

Do any commercial games even support WPA?

No, and DS is too weak to handle it.

Man aircrack would be GREAT! SOMEONE get it to work.

#98894 - dude1 - Fri Aug 18, 2006 9:54 am

at least build a stumbler capable of capturing packets to give to a pc to crack

#98903 - MaHe - Fri Aug 18, 2006 11:52 am

Porting existing application to DSLinux is fairly easy; usually you don't even need any coding experience:

If you're within range of AC power, why not use a laptop or even a Mac mini?

Those are much more expensive than a DS.

The problem I found when I looked at DSLinux wifi (a few months back so may have changed now) is that it did not support frame monitoring and injection. Therefore there was no way of capturing randon wireless network frames or putting a custom built frame onto the air. This is why the WMB for DSLinux port has been stalled.
