| r | Cracking WEP with Windows XP SP2 - Part Two - Author: Nokia | r |
| r |
Part Two in the Cracking WEP series covers what to do once you have a
valid WEP key - I recommend you read Part One (if you have not already)
before reading this tutorial if you want to understand how WEP works
and how to get the WEP key. It can be found here: http://www.tazforum.thetazzone.com/viewtopic.php?t=2069
So, you have managed to get a valid WEP key, and are wondering what to do next?
Well, first of all, you should try to associate with the Wireless
Access Point (WAP or AP). This is made very easy in Windows XP SP2:
When SSID Broadcasting is enabled:
Start > Connect to > Wireless Network Connection > View Available Wireless Networks
You will now be presented with a list of wireless networks that Windows
XP has managed to find. If SSID broadcasting is enabled on the AP, the
network name will show up, and the application will also let you know
if the AP is using WPA encryption or not.
If it shows the network name and then 'Security enabled wireless
network' beneath it, there is a 90% chance that it will be using WEP
for its security. If it is using WPA, it will say "Security Enabled
Network (WPA)".
Now just double click on the network name and it will prompt you to
enter the WEP key - enter this twice and see if it lets you connect.
If it does, well done, you have successfully associated with the AP
- if it does not, the following are the most likely possible causes of
this:
- The AP has MAC Address filtering enabled;
- You are too far away from the AP;
- The WEP key is wrong.
