Hi,

I know this is not a Windows forum but the creator of Aircrack said he checks this forum pretty often.

I am using Airodump for Windows and I have a Cisco Aironet a/b/g card. I've installed the new driver because it wouldn't work with the Cisco driver.
I ran airodump and it was capturing IVs... I let it go until it got to over 1.2 million in the data column. When it asked me the question about capturing only IVs I said Yes. Then I stopped it and I ran aircrack -a 1 wepkey.ivs It started running but it only shows 46981 IVs instead of the 1.2 million that I got with Airodump.

I let it run for about 3 hours and it didn't seem to come up with anything. Am I supposed to see a message "Wep key found" ?? I'm thinking I don't have enough IVs but I don't understand why Airodump would count the DATA over 1.2 million and Aircrack only showd 46,981.

I tried to generate wireless traffic by having another laptop on the WLAN download big files from an FTP server.

I've heard some people saying that they can crack a wep key in about 20 min. Do they use a different program or what? Do you have to have a lot of traffic on the WLAN in order to capture enough IVs to crack a 128 bit key?

One more thing: When I ran airodump it kept switching between WEP and WPA.
