Actiontec Wireless Adapter

Intercore · 01-02-2005

Hey you all!

Let's just start by saying that I am probably a big newbie!

I have downloaded lots of tools like Airsnort, Airopeek NX etc. but everytime I get a message about wrong drivers or whatever it is. Agere, Realtek, Atheros, Orinoco and even Hermes. I have no idea what all this is

Just want to capture some packets and figure out Aircrack

It seems like my Actiontec wireless USB adapter does not support these programs? Can this really be true? Should I go and by and new wireless network card?

or can you tell me where I can download new drivers?

Airopeek does not work with USB devices. Airsnort uses the Airopeek drivers.

..but do you know any other programs that do work with USB Adapters?

and can you tell me when you use Airopeek NX, and you have captured lots of packets. What do you then do? Save them in which format?

You usually save them in a pcap format. Also, unless you have the full version of Airopeek, you can not save captures.

What kind of "wireless tool" are you looking for?

I have the AiroPeek NX 2.0.2 Registered version but when I choose "File > Save All Packets" I only have the following formats to save in

apc, wpz, txt, csv, rtf and htm. and not pcap

Looking for a tool in windows which can crack the WEP password in a file with lots of packets that I have capture in Airopeek? Does this make sense?

Yes.... 1 min... I couldn't afford the full version of Airopeek, so I assumed it could export to PCAP.

cheers - I will wait then

Edit: You can try opening the CSV with Airsnort. It doesn't look like AirCrack can. Otherwise, try the text.

If you are using XP/2000, and you can capture packets with Airopeek, you should be able to do a capture with airodump/airsnort.

In aircrack I press 1 to load IVs from my test2.cvs file, and it says Opening PCAP file test2.csv wrong magic from pcap file header (got 0x35342C21, expected 0xA1B2C3D4)

Damn!!

What should I do? hehe

King_Ice_Flash · 01-02-2005

Did you try opening them from AirSnort? Otherwise, send a message to Devine, asking him very nicely to add the ability to import txt captures.

Is the Actiontec the card you are using with Airopeek?

Intercore · 01-02-2005

yes it is my actiontec USB Adapter card which I use in Airopeek. Somehow it works now? Weird anyway...

Cant seem to get Airsnort to work. Can you give me a link to a working version?

I cant capture with Airodump and Airsnort does not work. Can I use the packets from Airopeek anywhere?

King_Ice_Flash · 01-02-2005

I don't see how you can use the capture from Airopeek.

Ok. If you can get your card working with Airopeek, it should work with Airsnort, and Airodump. Both of those programs use the drivers from Airopeek that use the monitor mode.

Airsnort can be downloaded here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/airsnort

Use this guide to help you get Airsnort working:
http://airsnort.shmoo.com/windows.html

One thing that they do not mention in the guide, is that you need to add all of the GIMP/GTK packages to you downloaded to the SYSTEM PATH.

To add all of the GTK files you downloaded to the path, right click on my computer, properties, advanced tab, Environment Variables button, System Variables section, Path line.

Then add: ";(THE FOLDER WHERE YOU EXTRACTED ALL THE GTK STUFF)/BIN"
