Tomsnetworking How To Crack Wep With Windows
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a security protocol that was designed to protect wireless networks from unauthorized access. However, WEP has been proven to be very vulnerable and easy to crack by hackers. In this article, we will show you how to crack WEP with Windows using free tools and a compatible wireless adapter.

Before we start, you will need the following:
A wireless adapter that supports packet injection. You can check if your adapter is compatible by using this list: https://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=compatibility_drivers. We recommend the Alfa AWUS036H model, which is widely used for WEP cracking.
A BackTrack Live CD or USB. BackTrack is a Linux distribution that contains many security tools, including aircrack-ng, which is the main tool we will use for WEP cracking. You can download BackTrack from here: https://www.backtrack-linux.org/downloads/. You can either burn it to a CD or create a bootable USB drive using a tool like UNetbootin.
A nearby WEP-enabled Wi-Fi network that you have permission to test. Do not attempt to crack any network that you do not own or have authorization to access. Doing so may be illegal and unethical.
Once you have everything ready, follow these steps:
Boot your computer from the BackTrack CD or USB. You will see a boot menu with several options. Choose the default option (BackTrack Text - Default Boot Text Mode) and press Enter.
Once BackTrack loads, you will see a command prompt with the username root@bt. Type startx and press Enter to launch the graphical user interface.
Plug in your wireless adapter and open a terminal window. Type iwconfig and press Enter to see the name of your wireless interface. It should be something like wlan0 or eth1.
Type airmon-ng start and press Enter to put your wireless adapter into monitor mode. This will allow you to capture packets from the target network. You should see a new interface called mon0 or mon1.
Type airodump-ng and press Enter to start scanning for wireless networks. You should see a list of networks with their details, such as BSSID, ESSID, Channel, Encryption, etc. Look for the network that you want to crack and note down its BSSID, ESSID and Channel.
Press Ctrl+C to stop scanning and type airodump-ng -c -w --bssid and press Enter to start capturing packets from the target network. Replace , and with the values you noted down in the previous step. For example: airodump-ng -c 6 -w wep --bssid 00:11:22:33:44:55 mon0. This will save the captured packets in a file called wep-01.cap in the root directory.
Open another terminal window and type aireplay-ng -1 0 -a -h and press Enter to perform a fake authentication attack. This will associate your wireless adapter with the target network and make it look like a legitimate client. Replace with the value you noted down in step 5 and with the MAC address of your wireless adapter. You can find it by typing ifconfig and looking for the HWaddr value. For example: aireplay-ng -1 0 -a 00:11:22:33:44:55 -h 66:77:88:99:AA:BB mon0. You should see a message saying "Association successful :-)".
Type aireplay-ng -3 -b -h and press Enter to perform an ARP request replay attack. This will inject packets into the c481cea774
