How to crack WiFi WEP encrypted passwords..

An internet connection has become a basic necessity in our modern lives. Wireless hot-spots (commonly known as Wi-Fi) can be found everywhere!

If you have a PC with a wireless network card, then you must have seen many networks around you. Sadly most of these networks are secured with a network security key.

Have you ever wanted to use one of these networks? You must have desperately wanted to check your mail when you shifted to your new house. The hardest time in your life is when your internet connection is down.

Cracking those Wi-Fi passwords is your answer to temporary internet access. This is a comprehensive guide which will teach even complete beginners how to crack WEP encrypted networks, easily.

How are Wireless networks secured?
What you'll need
Setting up CommView for Wi-Fi
Selecting the target network and capturing packets
Waiting...
Now the interesting part... CRACKING!

How Are Wireless Networks Secured?

In a secured wireless connection, internet data is sent in the form of encrypted packets. These packets are encrypted with network security keys. If you somehow manage to get hold of the key for a particular wireless network you virtually have access to the wireless internet connection

Broadly speaking there are two main types of encryptions used:

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy):

This is the most basic form of encryption. This has become an unsafe option as it is vulnerable and can be cracked with relative ease. Although this is the case many people still use this encryption.

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access):

This is the more secure alternative. Efficient cracking of the passphrase of such a network requires the use of a wordlist with the common passwords. In other words you use the old fashioned method of trial and error to gain access. Variations include WPA-2 which is the most secure encryption alternative till date. Although this can also be cracked using a wordlist if the password is common, this is virtually uncrackable with a strong password. That is, unless the WPA PIN is still enabled (as is the default on many routers).

Hacking WEP passwords is relatively fast, so we'll focus on how to crack them for this guide.

What You'll Need...

A compatible wireless adapter:

This is by far the biggest requirement.The wireless card of your computer has to be compatible with the software CommVIew. This ensures that the wireless card can go into monitor mode which is essential for capturing packets.Click here to check if your wireless card is compatible

CommView for Wi-Fi :

This software will be used to capture the packets from the desired network adapter.Click here and download the software from the website.

Aircrack-ng GUI:

After capturing the packets this software does the actual cracking.Click here-Click here and download the software from the website.

A little patience is vital!!

Step 1: Setting Up CommView for Wi-Fi

Download the zip file of CommView for Wi-Fi from the website. Extract the file and run setup.exe to install CommView for Wi-Fi. When CommView opens for the first time it has a driver installation guide. Follow the prompts to install the driver for your wireless card.
Run CommView for Wi-Fi.
Click the play icon on the top left of the application window.

Start scanning for wireless networks.

CommView now starts scanning for wireless networks channel by channel. After a few minutes you will have a long list of wireless networks with their security type and signal. Now it is time to choose your target network

Step 2: Selecting the Target Network and Capturing Packets

A few things to keep in mind before choosing the target wireless network

This tutorial is only for WEP encrypted networks.

So make sure you select a network with WEP next to its name

Choose a network with the highest signal.
Each network will have its details in the right column.
Make sure the WEP network you are choosing has the least the least dB (decibel) value.

Once you have chosen your target network,select it and click Capture to start capturing packets from the desired channel.

Now you might notice that packets are being captured from all the networks in the particular channel. To capture packets only from the desired network follow the given steps.

Right click the desired network and click on copy MAC Address.
Switch to the Rules tab on the top.
On the left hand side choose MAC Addresses
Enable MAC Address rules
For 'Action' select 'capture' and for 'Add record' select 'both'.
Now paste the mac address copied earlier in the box below.

We need to capture only data packets for cracking. Hence select D on the bar at the top of the window and deselect M (Management packets) and C (Control packets).

Now you have to save the packets so that they can be cracked later. To do this-

Go to the logging tab on top and enable auto saving.
Set Maximum Directory Size to 2000
Set Average Log File Size to 20.

Step 3: Waiting...

Now the boring part- WAITING!

NOTE: The amount of time taken to capture enough data packets depends on the signal and the networks usage. The minimum number of packets you should capture should be 100,000 for a decent signal.

After you think you have enough packets (at least 100,000 packets)

Go to the log tab and click on concatenate logs.
Select all the logs that have been saved.
Do not close CommView for Wi-Fi
Now navigate to the folder where the concatenated logs have been saved
Open the log file
Select File- Export -Wire shark tcpdump format and choose any suitable destination.
This will save the logs with a .cap extension to that location

Now the Interesting Part... CRACKING!

Download Aircrack-ng and extract the zip file.
Open the folder and navigate to 'bin'.
Run Aircrack-ng GUI
Choose WEP
Open your .cap file that you had saved earlier.
Click Launch.
In the command prompt type in the index number of your target wireless network.
Wait for a while .If everything goes fine the wireless key will be shown.

You may also receive a request to try with more packets. In this case wait until more packets have been captured and repeat the steps to be performed after capturing packets

BEST OF LUCK...

10. Shania Twain – Come On Over – 40 million

Released in 1997, the third studio album by Canadian pop sensation Shania Twain, Come On Over, gets to open our top list with an impressive figure of 40 million sold copies.

Upon it’s release, it became the best-selling country album, as well as the biggest-selling studio album by a female act.

09. Fleetwood Mac – Rumours – 40 million

Eleventh studio album by British-American pop rockers Fleetwood Mac lands at our #9 with a total of 40 million copies sold around the globe. Of course, we’re talking about Rumours, and with hit singles like Dreams, Don’t Stop and You Make Loving Fun it’s no wonder really.

08. Bee Gees / Various artists – Saturday Night Fever – 40 million

There is about 99% chance that at some point you’ve already heard the opening song of 1977′s Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, the legendary Stayin’ Alive.

What you probably didn’t know is that Stayin’ Alive has 103 beats per minute, which is a perfect beat to perform CPR.

07. Eagles – Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975) – 42 million

America’s classic rock act, the Eagles land at our #7 with the best-of compilation named Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975). A number of 42 million copies sold worldwide definitely speaks for itself.

SMALLEST STOP-MOTION FILM

[ WHO : IBM Research Laboratories ][ WHERE : San Jose, California, USA ][ WHEN: From 29 January to 6 February 2013 ]

Comprising 242 individual frames with a frame size of only 45 nanometres by 25 nanometres (45 x 25 billionths of a metre), the smallest stop-motion film was created by IBM Research Laboratories in San Jose, California, USA, from 29 January to 6 February 2013. Individual molecules of carbon monoxide were "placed" as pixels on a copper sheet to create each frame of the film. The molecules were positioned using a Scanning Tunnelling Microscope (STM), which uses an ultra-fine metal tip to move the molecules with electrical charge. The film, called "A Boy and his Atom" tells a short story of a boy named Atom playing with a ball, and lasts 60 seconds. Once the molecules of carbon monoxide were in place in each frame, the STM took 4 min 53 sec to scan the whole frame to build up the image recorded on film. This process was meticulously repeated for each frame.

10. Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group – $1.818 trillion

Our fist stop takes us to the land of the rising sun – Japan – and the globally renowned Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group. As the crucial part of Mitsubishi Group and the biggest bank in Japan, this financial giant holds total assets of over $1.8 trillion. Although dating way back to 1880, MUFG was officially founded in 2005 and now employs 80,000 people, serving a wide array of global clients. Based in the capital of Tokyo, it is also the second biggest bank holding company in the world.

9. UBS – $2.019 trillion

You might have expected that the biggest bank in the world would come from Switzerland, a global symbol of neutrality and banking, but Swiss representative UBS managed to reach only No. 9 on our list with slightly over $2 trillion assets. Founded in 1854 in Zurich, UBS operates in over 50 countries, employing a number of over 60,000 people worldwide. With a rich tradition stretching in three centuries, it is also the world’s biggest holder of private wealth assets.

8. Citibank – $2.188 trillion

The biggest bank in the US, Citibank, lands at our No. 8 position. Once again, you might have expected a higher ranking, but it would seem that another continent is dominating the banking industry. As for the Citibank, it was founded in 1812 as the City Bank of New York and was officially renamed to its current name in 1976.

The bank definitely came a long way, as it is now the third biggest bank holding company in the United States. With operations based in over 160 countries, Citibank successfully handles the business of millions of users.

7. Credit Agricole – $2.268 trillion

This brings us to the first French representative, the Credit Agricole bank. Officially founded in 2000, it is ranked among the younger banks on our list, but this hasn’t prevented the CA from becoming the biggest French retail banking group. With an impressive figure of over 160,000 employees, Credit Agricole is located in the capital of Paris. With over 21 million clients, this French titan is present in more than 60 countries around the globe.

6. HSBC – $2.354 trillion

Marking the arrival of the British on our list, HSBC takes the No. 6 position with total assets of more than $2.3 trillion. Originating in 19th century Hong Kong, the bank was officially founded in London in 1991. With 7,200 offices in 85 countries around the world, it serves a total of almost 90 million clients.

A larger portion of $2.354 company assets is located in Europe, Middle East and Africa, while the rest is equally distributed in Asia-Pacific region on one side and North and South America on the other. As a highly successful company, a number of over 260,000 truly speaks for itself.

5. Barclays – $2.459 trillion

We are still in the UK, we are even still in London. As the oldest bank on our list, Barclays was founded way back in the 17th century, in the year of 1690 to be precise. Although it operates in 50 countries with a total client number of 48 million, both of which are drastically smaller than the HSBC numbers, it actually has higher assets of almost $2.5 trillion.

With a long tradition of over 3 centuries, it now employs about 150,000 people in various areas. Some of you might have heard of Barclays through their various sport events sponsorship including the Premiere League sponsorship lasting from 2001 or the more recent ATP World Tour finals sponsorship started in 2009.

4. BNB Paribas – $2,494 trillion

We are gradually getting to the top, but before the big 3, we will make another stop in France, once again in the capital city of Paris. Founded in 2000, it takes the title of the biggest bank in France with total assets of almost $2.5 trillion. With 200,000 employees, it is present in 87 countries around the world. BNB Paribas is also known for controversial investments in the nuclear sector, with over $13 billion invested so far. This has caused various protests, including a large Greenpeace protest that took place in 24 French cities in October of 2011.

3. Industrial and Commercial Bank of China – $2.501 trillion

Cracking the top 3 is the biggest bank in Asia – the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, the biggest employer on our list with a staggering number of over 405,000 employees. Founded in Beijing in 1984, it is among younger banks, but has grew quickly ever since and is now ranked as the 7th biggest public company in the world on Forbes Global 2000 list.

It is also the biggest bank in the world in terms of profit and market capitalization. With 18,000 outlets around the planet, it certainly proves itself as a banking giant. It also has the world’s biggest IPO and total assets of just over $2.5 trillion, rightfully earning it the place in the big league.

2. Deutsche Bank – $2.974 trillion

Finally, the Germans have arrived, and they arrive in style, going straight for the No. 2 position. The biggest bank in Germany, Deutsche Bank, goes in favor of the nation’s hard working, productive reputation. With 4 times less employees than the previously listed Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, the Germans have scored assets of almost $3 trillion.

Operating from the skyscraper center in Frankfurt, Deutsche Bank is active in over 70 countries, serving millions of clients with its 100,000 employees. Founded in 1870, it is rich with tradition and success, but just hasn’t managed to reach the great No. 1.

1. Royal Bank of Scotland – $3.808 trillion

With almost an entire trillion dollars more in assets than the previous company, The Royal Bank of Scotland triumphantly tops our list with whopping total assets of over $3.8 trillion, making it without a doubt the biggest bank in the world. Founded in 1727 in Edinburgh, it has about 700 branches, mostly located in Scotland, employing a total of over 140,000 people.

With a long tradition and rich history, the RBS is mostly owned by the UK government, which bought 82 percent of the company shares for a price of £42 billion ($65 billion). As the seventh European bank on our list and the third one from the UK, it just confirms the complete domination of the European companies in the banking business.
