Found new live distro

iam · 30 Dec 2006 at 23:58

Just found this live distro, Frenzy. I've never had wireless working on Linux because I've never been bothered to afford a card with a supported chipset, but Frenzy had my cheapo Belkin card configured and working out of the box.

In addition to that it comes bundled with a good suite of apps: wireless tools (wepcrack, airsnort etc), nettools (nmap, snort, nessus etc), systools (fdisk and other recovery tools) and loads more perfect for the greyhat

Already sniffing traffic from neighbouring networks, all within 5 mins, impressed to say the least.

The only downside is the lack of Firefox (and subsequently being forced to use Opera), nothings ever perfect tho eh.

Enjoy

PS. Sorry if this has been previously discussed!

How reliable is the wepcrack? Also can you post a screenie of the operating environment?

Once you get used to have such a full-packaged browser/rss/mail client etc, Opera is brilliant.

Gave this a quick go on my laptop, certainly needs a few tweaks as the trackpad isnt properly supported (mouse only goes to around a 640*480 section of the screen). The pcmcia wireless card doesnt work, among a lot of other things. shame as it could be a very usefull live distro.

Probably a better distro on a desktop system.

It depends on the key strength/luck. In general very reliable, obviously you need a large amount of sample data first but that can be induced.

WEPCrack is just one implementation of one whitepaper on weaknesses in the key scheduling algorithm of RC4. It is a console based tool, however there are tools like KisMet which provide a GUI for techincally challenged users.

I can do better than a screenshot, here's a video (Cracking WEP in 10 Mins) :-)

Here are some good guides on WPA cracking, vulnerability scanning, password recovery, etc too...

These are from the iWhax distro, which comes highly recommended

But thats the whole point of Firefox as a standalone package from Mozilla; that it is just a browser.

I can do WPA in 10, WEP in 3. If it takes you that long, you either need to induce more, or you need a better program.
