If you aren't using WPA as it is a waste of time - could you provide more details about how you are securing your home/work wireless network?

... As a security professional, this would be an almost (needs a usb to rj45 adpater too) ideal tool for security audits.
We have a working USB Ethernet solution (here's the wiki). You can even buy all the parts at one place.

The N8x0, even with a battery-powered USB hub and an external USB WiFi dongle, is still a lot smaller and lighter than a laptop (and A LOT cheaper, too, if you buy the N800 at its usual $235 price range). I have found that some velcro tape (from my local dollar store) is a great way to stick all the components together in a little bundle when you need to carry them around, and when you don't need the extra parts, you just "tear them off" and put them away. Yeah, it looks a bit weird to have fuzzy strips on your hub and stuff, but hey.

Another approach to this which I find gives more flexibility is the dlink
DWL-G730AP. This is a pocket AP which has a router mode. The wired end talks to the hotel network and gets dhcp address, and you connect to the wireless side and get an address from the AP. It does masquarading NAT also so if you have multiple devices they appear as a single device to the hotel - some hotels charge per IP address used.

This is great when staying at friends and family places who only have a wired connection - just plug the ap into their wired router. Also you can configure the wireless encryption on the AP with the same credentials as your main wireless network, and so no need to reconfigure whereever you go. Plug it in and turn it on. Comes in a pouch and everything!

Asus also have a pocket AP that appears to be more flexible than the dlink, but I haven't tried it out.


The N8x0, even with a battery-powered USB hub and an external USB WiFi dongle
Which hub and dongle are you using?

Ok, a confession, I have a hub and a battery pack and some USB accessories, but I have yet to try a USB wifi dongle on it. But now that you've prodded me into it, I'll have to give it a try...

Ah, thats a shame...

I have a usb wifi stick with the rtl8187 chipset in it. I have been trying to find someone else who might have done the hard work in getting the driver up and running on maemo.

I was hoping you were about to tell me you had the same chipset and had got it working!

Ok, well I got my penetration testing "platform" working with the n810

I am using an external USB wifi nic, this is a netgear one with the rtl8187 chipset. Do a search in the #maemo irc archives for qwerty's rapidshare drivers. Though they can be compiled in scratchbox with some editing of the makefile to account for the lack of ehci usb and the location of the kernel modules.

Aircrack is the other part of the picture, and the repository package from MUlliNER.ORG doesn't have aireplay in it.

This can be found in the link from mutex:

http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=13458

The download also have the r73 drivers aswell if that is what you are using...

I've been trying to find some pre-compiled wireless usb modules kicking around the forums; so far, all I've been able to find are the r73 drivers, and I don't think that's the chipset I have.

I have a ViewSonic WUSB100 (Model VS10260). I've googled till my fingers bled, but the best I can come up with is a very tenuous link to the prism54 chipset... Is there any way I can find out what chipset it uses? Then I would have a better idea what to ask for. Oh, and it uses the AWUSGA02.sys driver in Windows.

This page:
http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/wir...lp-please.html
talks about it, and says it uses the RT73 driver, and you might need to flash it before you can use it. There are links on the page.
Good luck. :-)

p.s. That page is for Linux in general, not the tablets. :-)

i`ve cracked wep keys with my n800 just using aircrack without having to inject a single packet. A busy AP and a n800 placed somewhere close to the AP can capture enough packets using airodump and with about 15,000 IVS u can crack the wep using aircrack-pw.

Did you use the connection after cracking the key?
