This tutorial is about cracking a WEP encryption on an access point using an EeePC 900HD. The EeePC, I am currently using has a rtl8187se wireless card that can be put into monitor mode and will do packet injection. When using this model of the EeePC a few things will have to be done to make every work. Unfortunately using the rtl8178se isn’t as easy as using the other models of the rtl8178 series. The card will have to be tricked into monitor. The operating system, I will use to perform the crack is the most popular Back|track 3. The rtl8187se is not supported natively by the Linux operating system. So, it will only be right on how to show you to obtain that and install it properly.

Seize the Night

So should I pay $14.99 a day for Wi-Fi at the hotel, or enable tethering on my blackberry for $30.00 for the month…. HMM…

After doing some research, I found that it is very easy to make your own mobile hotspot. This is part 1 of a little hacking experiment. Imagine this. You are at your local “Starbucks” and you want to steal some people packets. Why not share your Ev-do connection and name it “Starbucks” fire up wireshark and start munchin on some packets.

Well after a normal morning of class and a non-eventful afternoon I ended up where I always do about this time of day…DIGG. Stumbling across an article about a man moving from Windows Vista to Ubuntu 7.10.

[What everyone should do.]

Pure Genius! I simply had forgotten that Ubuntu released a new version recently. And since I haven’t played with Linux in a while, I found this idea very appealing. I was just perusing some of the comments people said. You had your classic Windows hater that talked about how crappy Vista was. And then of course, unfortunately you had your mislead Windows lover. I wish there were words strong enough to express my HATE for Windows Vista. I was one of the few who dropped 250 opening week for Vista Ultimate. Apart from finding out that Santa and the Easter Bunny were a hoax. This was one of the most disappointing events in my life.

I have been using Vista since its release and at first was very excited about all the “new” features. The cool new start bar and the flashy colors, the way it utilizes my system for once taking advantage of my decent processor and filled ram slots. Au contraire, it turns out all these things could not prevent my eventual dissatisfaction with the product. At this point I would encourage everyone to…
1.Stay with XP
2.Move to
A. Apple
B. Linux
C. DOS

At this point in the blog I would like to provide you with the link to 7.1

[Ubuntu 7.1]

For Gods sake, stay away from Vista. I’m signing off.

Cheers.
