3. Wait a few minutes

What?

The average home computer could take anywhere from hours to days to gain access through weak system frames

Sarcasm.

Don't always believe wikipedia. I have seen packet injecting systems crack networks in less that 10 mins...

i cannot find the icon, where can i find it?

Fragmentation attacks can crack 104bit RC4 WEP keys in much less than 10 minutes.

By the way, gokuman56; just stop now. Nobody is even taking you seriously.

ok thanks i will

Re: aircrack won't work
 

I have seen somewhere that cracking can be done without an external adapter,
but it will just take longer because the n8x0 internal wifi does not support packet injection.
Does anybody know how to use aircrack without using an external adapter.

Re: aircrack won't work
 

yes. Use Kismet to put the card into RFMON. Lock channel onto the desired AP. You can also use airodump-ng to pick a specific BSSID instead, give it an output file and let it capture packets. When you've got enough, fire up aircrack-ng and run it against either the airodump-ng capture file or the Kismet dump file.

Provided, you have enough IV's - you will get the key. I've done it on my own 104bit key on my own network. It takes a while, due to the hardware of the N810 - I can break a random 104 bit key in less than 5 minutes on my laptop.

Thanks Hawaii, that 5 minuet cracking on your laptop is very impressive,
I assume that it is a laptop running a Linux distro.

Re: aircrack won't work
 

I'm currently testing aircrack-ng on my pc on my own network (yes, really) just to see how well it works.

Anyway, it was collecting IV data (or whatever) very slowly until I went online with my N810. Now, I've gotten ~9000 IVs in about a half hour... the previous half hour, I only got ~400.

So, is it safe to assume that the program works better the more activity is on the network?

Also, based off the figures i just described, does it seem like its running ok? In the beginning, it seemed like it it was god-awfully slow.
