polley 916 Report post Posted October 4, 2010 While google were out taking pictures for street view they were also mapping wireless networks. If you know your wireless mac address enter it on this site: http://www.samy.pl/mapxss/ Obviosuly the XSS wont work here as I doubt anyone is using a verizon router.

Driftit 1964 Report post Posted October 4, 2010 Changed router recently. So doesn't work. Also not broad casted anymore due to kid neighbors trying to crack WEP key. Now Mixed WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK. Should take them a while longer to crack that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polley 916 Report post Posted October 4, 2010 Dosent matter even if ssid broadcast is disabled. MAC address is still broadcast as part of the unencrypted parts of the packet. But yeah, didnt work here either as just got a new router :/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shaneg 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2010 Thats pretty crazy.. just goes to show that security needs to be taken seriously Here are some mac addresses that are close to me if anyone wants to see it working.. As for hidden essid (not broadcasted) the second one isnt broadcasted, just takes a few minutes for it to be shown under airodump or kismet. Only one of these are pin point accurate, one is completely wrong so obviously if you move it displays the location of where it was recorded.. B4:82:FE:A8:EA:CB 00:21:63:EA:2C:29 00:18:4D:9A:6A:A4 00:1B:2F:4D:7F:60 I use firefox with noscript that blocks all scripts from running, very useful.. As for passwords, i always use a random password generator, if youre password is a word in a dictionary then your pretty stuffed, and wep should not be used at all, it only takes 3-4 mins max to break.

Phatputer 3 Report post Posted October 5, 2010 I had a play with WEP Cracking, you really need a fair bit of information travelling around the network in order to collect enough packets to allow it to be cracked successfully. Couldn't collect enough packets with normal web surfing, and took about an hour when transferring data over the wireless Once this was done though, only took about 15min to get the key. Was more an interest thing and switched everything back to WPA after that Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E36ShoppingTrolley 7 Report post Posted October 5, 2010 can someone put this into non technical terms? can google tell where i live because theyve picked up my wireless before? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shaneg 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) With wep cracking there is a tool called aireplay-ng which you can use to generate traffic.. Which if your wireless nic supports it this will work. Wpa you need a client to be online then you just need to send a deauth message then when they re connect you've got all you need, as long as it's a good password you'll be safe.. There is no difference between Wpa/wpa2 if it's an easy password. All my cracking is on my own router by the way.. Little hobby if mine. And one other thing is changing the admin password to your router.. How many still have "admin" and "password" to get in to it? Yes they can see where you live, but it's not google I'd be worried about. Edited October 5, 2010 by shaneg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antil33t 90 Report post Posted October 5, 2010 a mate and I made a few maps of various locations for Secured/Unsecured Wifi, Just need a GPS module and a laptop with netstumbler. I even have a PCMCIA card with MCX connector for connecting my magmount 10dbi omni too... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polley 916 Report post Posted October 5, 2010 Yeah, ive used aircrack alot, you can use aireplay to genereate IV's quicker if there isnt enough happening on th network. Most the time it takes less then 10 minutes to get the key. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deeveus 81 Report post Posted October 5, 2010 You'd be fairly unlucky for your wireless to be breached if you: - Have MAC address only enabled - 128bit/256 encryption passworded or WPA2 Mixed if wireless lan card / router allows - SSID disabled Every wireless network I install has this. There is software out there that can eavesdrop but your far less likely to be infiltrated if you observe the above. It means my customers usually call because their mates or new computers find it hard to join the network but it's far safer IMO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No point using mac filtering TBH, an attacker can easily spoof their mac address. And soon as there is any traffic on the network airodump / kismet will pick up the SSID automatically. Having these enabled just makes it more annoying to connect than anything.But using a good password with WPA(2)will have you pretty much sorted, as currently the only attack against WPA(2) uses a dictionary list. So as long as you are using a password that someone wont have in a dictionary list you will be fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polley 916 Report post Posted October 5, 2010 Trying to work out HTF to install aircrack so I can have a play, any tips?Just download backtrack and boot it off a DVD.But make sure your wireless adapter is supported first. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shaneg 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) Yeah, strong passwords are the only way to go, mac addresses are easy to change too, this this is merely an inconvenience more than anything.. Download backtrack 4 HERE obviously you are doing this to you own network! I think you can get aircrack,airodump,aireplay,airmon to work on windoze but im sure its not easy.. im a linux user. Best bet is the live cd/dvd. Can give you some advice if you do.. its quite interesting.. Edited October 5, 2010 by shaneg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antil33t 90 Report post Posted October 5, 2010 It's very hard to get aircrack,airodump ect to run on windows, as nobody will tell you where the drivers are I had it working once, and hacked my mates network *we were bored* took ages though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
