Small but stupid KisMac probl

roeles · 01-14-2005

I've been stumbling at home, my neighbours' wireless to be exact.
Since he worked at a wireless company, he challenged me to crack his supposedly secure wlan. So I got my iBook and a WL-012 card and started sniffing....

Sadly enough, I was stupid enough not to configure the dump filter correctly. So here I am, with a pretty large .kismac file containing loads of data, but no way to export it to a pcap file so I can let Aircrack do its job.

Does anybody know how I can export imported .kismac files to pcap format?

judging from the .kismac file, I figure it doesn't save that packets. only stats...

I have never used kismac, but in kismet, it does a dump file if you configure it to use ethereal in the install... With Linux, you install the source for Ethereal in the /usr/src/etherealx folder, where x is the ethereal version. Then you go to the kismet install. You type ./configure --with-ethereal=/usr/src/etherealx Hope this helps.

Kismac does all the cracking it'self.

true, but I just wanted to try aircrack.

AFAIK you can't.

I did. Just feed the Dumpfiles to aircrack compiled on your mac (type 'make aircrack' in the source dir, not 'make' or 'make all')
You can't (yet) copy them to an x86 machine, due to diffirent endian-ness

about cracking the thing with KisMac...it's somewhat limited, or is that just me? My neighbour told me it's an 128 Bit WEP key, but I haven't been able to crack it so far using KisMac. I don't have enough packets according to aircracks docs, so maybe I'll have to be patient..
