It's Wireless .. it's Crackable , Journey into Wireless card modes


Firstly I'm sorry I know I'm too late in writing this article but I had a lot of troubles . let's start in our new article . you need to crack wireless networks around you this can be easy process a cup of coffee , some needed hardware backtrack or kali or even backbox or any Linux distribution with air crack package airmon , airodump …… etc.
 Feel free to install Linux on physical or virtual the most vital part in all process is your wireless card especially it's chipset . your embedded card in laptop can only work to connect you :D ( only Egyptians will understand what behind connect you ) to internet but we need to know password of wireless network so we have to sniff traffic between client and router then you need to capture packets contain this pass then analyze it or crack to get pass .. your target .
Some external wireless cards have the ability to sniffing in especial mode to capture packets depends on chipset of card . not all external cards support linux so we will go here a little to know the best for this .After we get card assuming this Alfa or tp-link you have to connect it and start configuration to start process that's ok we all do this to get internet but what about capture packets or inject it let's know more . remember we use card differently .

first mode managed mode :
When you use card normally to connect to an access point to get connection so we all had done this before that's normal .
Second mode promiscuous mode :
That's what we need monitor mode .. monitor for action , promiscuous for position . In this mode you can sniffing network data , perform attacks .

we are only able to see the Ethernet (802.3) data when we are connected, and not the wireless (802.11) traffic, which is what we want to be able to use. What this means is with 802.3 traffic, you will see the normal web traffic and other normal network information with 802.11 traffic, you will see the wireless data that is used to communicate over wireless networks

  finally you can visit packtup.com you will find a lot of books which will be useful for all levels beginner , intermediate and advanced for securing and cracking wireless networks . Also some useful courses from securitytube.com like Wlan Security , Air-Crack Megaprimer and you tube have some useful tuts too .
remember to share what you learn … Happy Cracking
