How to Break WEP Encryption
Breaking any encryption involves knowing a few things. First, you have to know that there is an encryption scheme. Secondly, you must know how encryption works.
- Depending on your operating system, you will need a packet sniffing program. Airsnort for Linux as well as Windows is a popular program.
- Find a wireless access point.
- When using the packet sniffer, allow it some time to get a good sampling of the WEP encrypted packets. In other words, you have to give the program something to work with as well as match. Public as well as private keys can be deciphered by matching the packets for similarities!!
