Sep 15, 2009 Ok so this is just showing how to hack a secured internet connection it only works if it is protected by a wep key and also u have to do this wirelessly so with a labtop unless ur desktop is. Nov 04, 2009 my wireless router has a wep key which is the only code (as far as i know) for connecting to my network. However my macbook recognises the network but asks for a wpa password which i dont have and when i try to enter the wep key it wont connect. Is there anyway to alter the settings so that my mac will accept my wep key?

WEP is one of the ways through which users try to implement encryption on their wireless networks. Most students going into their college dorms for the first time, go the nearest Circuit City or Best Buy, get the latest wireless router and plug it in. Either they leave it open or they go with the default WEP key. Some tech savvy users still go with WEP as their Wireless encryption protocol, just because their laptops might be couple of years old and their wireless adapters might not support better wireless security protocols like WPA or WPA2+TKIP/ WPA+AES.

Even if you use WPA, it doesn’t matter if you have SSID turned on or off, because better cracking programs are coming out every day with better dictionaries. Some help can be obtained through the good folks at GRC where they have a free strong pass phrase generation tool. While MAC address filtering would be an okay complement to your wireless protection, they do not complement your security by much. MAC addresses are actually not encrypted when sent over the air, since they are the only reliable way of identifying a peer. Getting them from network traffic is trivial and only needs a couple of frames. Also, MAC addresses are also trivial to spoof.

Hmm, this really isn't difficult. Select your AP from the menu. If it uses WEP, the Mac will ask for your WEP key. (it calls it a password.) You used to have to put ASCII keys in quotes or preceed hex keys with a dollar sign, but in Jaguar there is a menu where you select the type of key ('password') you are entering. Moreover, it is a very handy wifi WEP key cracker. Wifite WEP and WPA cracking is classed as one of the best WiF hacking tools available in Kali Linux. One of the most significant changes from version 1 is support for “reaver” that a wifi protected setup (WPS) attack tool.

To show all you folks why WEP does not provide any security, check out this video from Shawn Hogan. Shawn here cracks two 128 bit WEP keys in around 60 seconds. He uses a publicly available tool called KISMAC available for a Macintosh. After doing some reading, an “ultra-secure” password/MD5 seed would be relatively useless anyway… all it would do is force the attacker to spend 10 minutes on it instead of 10 seconds (see this FAQ and this FAQ), all of which is easily done from the kismac Network menu. It doesn’t even matter if you setup your wireless network to be public or not, because kismac can see it even if the base station isn’t showing the SSID publicly. So here goes hacking with KISMAC on OS X

A video used to be embedded here but the service that it was hosted on has shut down.

By default, OS X detects the type of security being used by the network. If it says that it is WPA, either you are connecting to a different network or your network is actually using a WPA key. In general WEP is just a tiny step up from no security at all. The industry standard for strong wireless security has been WPA and more recently, WPA2. All of these settings can generally be accessed via a web interface to your router. Your user manual should have simple instructions. If it came with PC only software... you shouldn't need to use it. If you don't have your manual or you're not sure what to do... if you could let us know the make and model of your router, we might be able to help.
