Introduction to AirPcap : wireless usb adapter for capturing raw 802.11 g packets on windows

Since you’re concerned in WEP Cracking , you must have realized that Windows Boxes don’t have a similar feature like the Linux Boxes do. It’s the feature of configuring your wireless card adapter to monitor mode , which means you could grab / capture raw 802.11 g packets without even authenticating with the access point you want to audit. In Linux Boxes , you just have to enter these following command to turn your wireless card into monitor mode : iwconfig ath0 mode monitor
. What about in my lovely Windows Box ? hehe , you could also do it anyway , you can go to www.wildpackets.com , and update your driver . But not every driver you’ll find there are suitable with your wireless card otherwise your wireless card will turn into CRAP (because it ‘ll overwrite your existing driver!).

Then , allow me to introduce this God-sent Wireless USB adapter made for windows box! . It’s called AirPcap , it’s designed to make you able to capture those RAW 802.11 g packets from your lovely Windows Boxes! , it means that now you’ll crack wep key more easily from your windows boxes (which will be explained in my next article hehe.. ). AirPcap is portable wireless usb adapter , therefore you could put it in your packet , and plug in it back to your windows laptop , and start hacking WEP key! (again , this trick will be explained in my next article).
To gain more power >:) , you could also combine this adapter with such software like Wireshark and CAIN and ABLE ! HELLYEAH , you got the power now ! what are you waiting for then ?? just purchase it now on the official site of AirPcap !
and start cracking wep somewhere .. ![]()
