  • WEP and WPA pass cracking! Full Tutorial.

someone wrotei can crack a wap and wep in 3min but for real world example you need to crack wpa2, who's stupid enough these days to use wap or wep?
There's plenty of people who still use WEP and they ain't stupid they just don't have much knowledge in wireless and networking stuff and their router was set up by their ISP or someone else.
So not everyone is as smart as you are :)

And learning new things is always cool, by learning this process of cracking WEP i learned lots of stuff about Linux Ubuntu and BackTrack 5

For WPA, specially in Lebanon, the most effective password list to use is by generating a file with all the possible phone number combinations.
Best way is to even have multiple files for each area (01, 04, 06, ... and all would have mobile ones as well) so that you reduce the size of the file to make the process even faster. So if you're cracking a WPA key in Beirut, use the "01" file (along with 03, 70, 71).
Also in each of the files you should have both local and international combinations (01222222, 9611222222, 009611222222).

These help to highly reduce the size of the dictionary and yet keep it effective (much more effective than most other dictionaries you can find).
