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.
Plug it into your nokia (powered hub of course). Get into host mode and use lsusb to find the xxxx:xxxx vendor and product id. Google for that directly, and you should find out exactly what it is.

If it is prism, then it is likely it has been compiled on maemo before. Otherwise, scratchbox fun!

Just an update, I spent $25 and ordered an ASUS WL-167G, this seems to be a known-good RT73 adapter. I've got my hub and battery pack all set up and waiting...

And as for not needing packet injection, I'm not so interested in, um, unlocking busy APs, that's a little too black-hat for me. I'm mostly doing this as a proof-of-concept thing to show my friends just how vulnerable their WEP-protected routers are.

EDIT: The codes for the ViewSonic are 0543:1a11, and it looks like there are no Linux drivers, so you gotta use ndiswrapper and awusga02

You just helped me discover a new trick!! I couldn't get my N800 to see the new Asus USB stick at all. I was getting very frustrated. Finally, I tried lsusb to see what I had attached, and lsusb just came up with 0000:0000 ... and then a flurry of "not recogized" messages flashed in the corner of the screen, the "no filesystem" dialogue... and when I ran lsusb, there it was! And iwconfig now shows my device, wlan1: RT73 WLAN!

Cool. lsusb forces the N800 to poll the USB port again and that seems to do the trick for my setup.

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.

And here it is... The handheld velcro-tape packet-injection-capable pentester.

Heh. Excellent.

I have been trying out my pen platform - but I have always been near a power point so the small power supply wasn't too much of an issue.

Though there is a certain extra cool-factor from having it completely portable, so good stuff

My solution has no hacks, no wire stripping, no electrical tape, and no re-flashing of firmware to enable injection capability... only some dollar-store velcro to hold everything together. Entirely off-the-shelf parts, including the USB OTG adapter. OK, so it's a fairly specific shelf that it comes off of, but you don't need that one, you can just use the standard cable the N8x0 comes with and the USBControl package.

My primary use for the battery/hub setup is to be able to use multiple USB devices on my N800 simultaneously (for copying pictures off of my camera onto my USB memory stick, for example) but it also works for this purpose too. The Asus Wifi adapter was $25.

The battery pack also has adapters to charge / power other stuff. I can use it to run the N800 for 8+ hours, perfect for watching movies on long flights or backcountry GPS tracking. Even better, it just takes 4 rechargable AA batteries, so I can carry an extra set and swap them when the first set wears out.

Knusperkeks, that answer depends on the key. You'll forgive me, please don't take this personally, but I am always vaguely suspicious of people whose first question on these boards relates to the pentesting capabilities of these devices.

May I ask - for what purpose do you want to perform WEP password cracking? If it is simply because you have forgotten your key, then there may be better alternatives available; returning your wireless router to factory defaults and re-configuring is usually a much easier route than trying to crack the key, especially if there is little traffic.

@knusperkeks

For a 40 bit wep key, in as little as 10 minutes. With 104 bit, it can take longer. It all depends on the amount of IV (initialisation vectors) you can generate. Doing an arp replay, and then artificially generating arps on the target network will get things going.

In a business network, there is usually enough arp chatter naturally that this isn't necessary, so you can prove your point pretty quickly.

Does anyone have the deb for aircrack-ng rc2? I've got rc1 installed and it is working fine but I'd like to have the latest and greatest.

thx
