I am new to Ghostlyhaks, and also I am new to the culture. I have recently dug myself into the idea of "hacking" and have become quite obsessed. I am seeking some guidance and help with something I am currently working on.
I am running a script called Wifu which is used to crack WEP, and honestly I am just trying to figure it out and learn as much as I can. I was able to find a complete dictionary file online, but now I am being asked for the full path to the ivs file I want to crack. I somewhat understand what an ivs file is but I cannot figure out how to capture it or find one.
I can attach screenshots if that will be helpful! Any direction or advice is appreciated as I am new on my journey! Thanks guys!
Well you have come to the right place to ask about WiFu... I created it. Assuming that you using my actual script, you need to first start the WEP cracking process. Most people do not use WEP anymore and honestly most routers do not support it. After you pull enough data IV's (5,000<) then you can throw the word-list and the IV's file into the cracker and proceed. The file is saved in your home directory after you capture if my memory serves me correctly. I made WiFu for people who have a basic knowledge of wireless exploitation. It is very simple and automated, and in its beta stage. But nevertheless it will get the job done if you know what you are doing. I guess I need to make a video tutorial eh?
You created it?! Wow that is awesome! Well done it is very interesting.
I guess I do not understand basic network exploitation then. I do not quite understand the capturing of the IVS or those steps. I do understand that most routers don't use WEP anymore, I believe that most are using WPA now??
So maybe I should start with this: do you have any recommendations for a starting place for a noob like me? Obviously I am learning what I can from the internet and just digging in and reading. Tutorials would definitely be helpful! I am a developer but it seems I do not have a deep understanding of the hardware or the way all the pieces plug together.
Thanks for the timely response and patience with a noob as I learn
OK then, I will write an article in my blog section explaining the whole process of WiFi cracking in a nutshell. I will also start a series of video tutorials on cracking WiFi in which I will also feature wifu. Can you please send me a copy of the version of wifu that you have mate? I want to verify its authenticity.
