Test your wifi security using your tablet?
 

Have anyone tried this to see how/if it can crack through your wifi router?

I must admit it's a bit scary to think that my tablet may be able to 'hack through' my router.

Interesting post here: http://eeelucky.blogspot.com/2009/03...n-n800810.html

Will see if I can download it later and try it out.

Basically the problem with n810 is the packet injection, which is not possible. And if you have a laptop do to the injection, well, you could do everything on the laptop. I guess n900 won't be able to do packet injection either, but that would deserve a check.

Another point is that the n810 doesn't have too much power to calcul stuff, and cracking wireless encryption might be power-hungry.

Oh and, depending on why you want this (is this for surfing freely or for doing professional penetration testing?), nxx0 might not be the perfect device.

Here's a quick test: are you using WEP? Seriously, that's been known-broken since 2001 and no amount of testing with aircrack or whatever will make it better. Use WPA2, and encrypt all your sensitive traffic at the application layer.

And use WPA2/CCMP (AES), not WPA2/TKIP

Show I'm a noob, I'm using WEP on the home-router...
Time to change it. Thanks.

(and in regards to the injection point - I thought the video linked to above showed injection).

Almost correct.

WPA2 is AES-based CCMP. There is no WPA2/TKIP. Just don't use WPA or WPA/TKIP. Use WPA2/CCMP aka WPA2/AES

(There are alternatives to WPA2 PSK (Personal). For the average home user WPA2 PSK (Personal) is sufficient.)
