Centrino Linux Drivers..

FatalDigital · 11-22-2004

Simple questions, hopefully simple answers..

1) have any of you guys got a install of the linux centrino drivers working?

If so:

Which distro did you use? (i wanna try this with either Mandrake 10.1, Damn Small Linux 0.8.4 or Fedora Core 3)
Model / Make of Laptop / Rig. (im hoping to get this working on my dell 510m, god forbid!)

2) Is RF monitor mode real on this? orginally i was dissapointed when i found
out that through windows i could not get RF with the Ndis drivers.

3) is this all findable through search on the forums and have i wasted my time posting this by using wrong search criteria? If so digitally slap me with a wet trout about the mouth please

(?_?)

Hi FatalDigital,

I'm using the ipw2100 (1.0.1 IIRC) drivers with an IBM ThinkPad T41 and you can be sure they work like a charm. ie. last week I tried to break my brothers wi-fi network (as I wanted to get into it but I couldn't find the paper where he stored the WEP password

) and after 10 minutes of capturing packets with Kismet (I was also generating "some" traffic with a bit of ping flooding

) and with just 150.000 IVs I cracked the WEP password in a few seconds (it was a 256 bit password I must say) so I can assure you if you manage to get drivers installed in your distribution (I use Debian "sid" but they should work with any one as it is just a matter of kernel/drivers thing) you will be able to fully user monitor mode and all common tools like Kismet and Aircrack flawlesly.

Regards.

Ignacio.

Nice trick. Do tell though...how did you ping flood while in monitor mode? This would be a spiffy trick indeed.

Also, ping flooding a network you weren't connected to? I guess you willed the packets onto the network or something. Never under estimate the power of mind over matter when breaking into your brothers network. It's a rule I live my life by. That and that thing about bin bags, but, that's not something I want to go into here.

I suppose he could have just plugged into one of the ethernet ports and ran the flood from there while sniffing wireless.

But then again, I prefer the mind over matter technique. Just like those Jedi mind tricks.

bin bags? we dont need no steenkin bin bags...

Nah, I think he was just talking crap. He clearly states he was trying to get network access, if he could plug into a wired port then he would have the desired access.

Anyone falling for this? Hey, he's new here, and he wants to impress us with made up storys about how he was a L337 H4X0R, or something. Bless him...

Yes, that's a dead giveaway, 256bit done with 150k IVs. Please use a bag before he goes in the bin though. Those h4x0rs are 133ky.

I think you mis-understand. About bin bags, I was talking about a sex thing... And now you made me say it out loud...

Hi all,

I should have said that I had ethernet access to the network, I thought it will be clear the moment I talked about the ping flood thing. In fact, I have not tried yet apps like ChopChop or aireplay. I have not even investigated if they will work with ipw2100 current drivers (any one?

)

I know most network-crack related posts on this forums are from people trying to break into their own networks just to learn how this things work. Well, I knew my wi-fi network WEP key so I didn't need it any way. So I thought it will be fun to break my brother's one even if I could have called him asking for the location of the paper with the WEP key.

As for the 150.000 IVs, I was the first one to get impressed of finding the key, as aircrack docs clearly states that half million IVs should be the starting point for breaking WEP keys. Anyway, we all know that luck is also a factor with aircrack.

As for the L33t L4m3r and such things. I know it was my first post on this forums, but I have readed tens of them in order to learn enought to be able to help people like FatalDigital that is what I thing is the goal of communities.

You can be sure I don't have the knowledge to help in harder questions but for the ones I can, I will. It is one of the ways I know to give thanks to people that helped me when I need it.

Regards.

Ignacio.

You know, I thought you might you might have used an ethernet port to start the flood. But a 256b key in 150k? That's what I call luck, I couldn't do that and I have a gold horseshoe up my ass.

But it is nice to know that the centrino is capable, I have a 2200bg laying around that I might need to plug in. (I just need to make a rpsma/hirose pigtail for it, as the imbedded antenna I have really sucks).

igdtl · 12-12-2004

Hi grcore,

If I have time I'll try it again just to see how lucky I was. As for the ipw2200 I have not readed too much about it. AFAICS it doesn't support monitor mode yet, please correct me if I'm wrong, I don't even know if ipw2100 drivers could be used with it (without the "g" support of course).

Regards.

Ignacio.

P.S. well, after some reading I found this: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.p...orum_id=372479 it seems RFMon is not yet supported and ipw2100 drivers wont work with the 2200B/G chipset.
