Hey Slayer, unless Cain has changed in the last few months (possible), you can’t generate traffic against a clientless AP.

i have used airpcap and cain to successfully crack my network in wep and wpa modes

what baffles me is how to generate traffic on the network to produce more wep ivs faster

i assume that packet injection is just the feature ive been looking for but im not sure how it works… i can deauth a client on a wpa network and collect wpa 4 way handshake but if its a wep clientless network then i cant generate traffic

with linux and aireplay you simply use packetforge to increase the traffic rate but packet injection in cain with airpcap doesnt seem to work..

what am i not doing or what am i doing wrong????

The AirPcap column, staing that driver version: not installed. and the lock on channel is inactive, as so as the other like the "analyze" button, it is not scanning for any WEP IV's. i'm running under vista home premium. pls help me make the program works. thanks a lot. hi Phil,

I have buy a AirPcapTX recently and try it with last drivers from Cace. Packet Injection is really slow, with Cain but with aircrack-ng 0.9.2 for TX too... from both method, i only Inject around 10 packets by seconds and capture only 1 IVs every 2 seconds... :( So it seems the problem don't come only from Cain but from the TX (or the driver) too... I will try Kismet for Windows later see it's working better... Hi Phil,

Indeed, Cain can be very flakey with the AirPCap. From what I know, and have experienced, it's not CACE's fault. If you're not scared of a command line, you should try out my notes on <a href="http://www.twistedethics.com/2007/09/12/notes-cracking-wep-with-aircrack-ng-and-airpcap-tx/" rel="nofollow">using Aircrack-ng on the Windows command line</a>.

Regarding cracking... Both Cain and aircrack-ng will passively sniff WEP traffic and crack any WEP key after collecting x number of packets. They will both also passively sniff WPA EAPOL handshakes which can then be cracked, via brute force, "offline" - away from the Audit site. This takes way longer than the offset methods used in WEP cracking, and becomes pretty much unfeasible if the password isn't in a dictionary, or is longer than 8 characters. I always recommend that WPA-PSK is deployed with at least a 20-character pass<em>phrase</em>, and includes things like spaces and other non-alphanumeric characters. Hey Jon,

I was looking at the Airpcap Classic and TX, from what i have read i understand that you can only realy crack WEP and WPA through the 'TX' adapter. What are the main differences between the TX and Classic? I've also been struggling a little from reading various bits on the net. Can you crack WPA aswell as WEP with one TX adapter. From what i can gather cain will reveal the WEP code but you have to brute force for the WPA - is this correct? Thanks After putting a comment in i realised that i do actualy have a question.

Also the way you answer questions, to some the answer may seem simple, but you still answer in a very unpatronising way. Thanks for support and advice.
