Re: troubles with wireless pentest

So I'm assuming you were able to decipher the ASCII/Hex 5 or 13-byte WEP key
using tools based on the FMS attack. And you said below that you
try to connect to the network but can't bridge / route through the AP
- but I didn't see you mention that you used the WEP key to connect to
the network. Even with the spoofing in place, you won't be able to
communicate to the AP unless you use the WEP key properly. I'm assuming that
you were able to determine the WEP key on a network using static WEP.
Because if the network is using rotating WEP keys with 802.1x, your
problem is complicated. It may seem obvious, but I didn't see you
mention this about using the WEP key.

When you try to route through the AP, what kind of a response do you
see from the AP?

zcrips xrabbitz> i have been taking on my

zcrips xrabbitz> have nearly become lost in the jaws
zcrips xrabbitz> of a wireless network and would
zcrips xrabbitz> appreciate any help. first i'lll
zcrips xrabbitz> state what i have so far done and seen

zcrips xrabbitz> the network was encrypted but with

zcrips xrabbitz> The network in focus is quite large

zcrips xrabbitz> These I did.

zcrips xrabbitz> Using kismet I sniffed a whole lot

zcrips xrabbitz> i sniffed a lot more with ettereal

zcrips xrabbitz> Now The Problem.

zcrips xrabbitz> I tried to connect to the net work

zcrips xrabbitz> I used a nice ip to match one on the network
zcrips xrabbitz> (8.5) i changed mac addresses to
zcrips xrabbitz> match the host i was spoofing.

zcrips xrabbitz> then i tried to route packets to another client
zcrips xrabbitz> which failed with the network unreachable error
zcrips xrabbitz> i tried a traceroute to my target
zcrips xrabbitz> client but it failed too with the same
zcrips xrabbitz> error

zcrips xrabbitz> i used ettercap to passively watch
zcrips xrabbitz> traffic and came up with a comprehensive
zcrips xrabbitz> list of ip/mac addresses and tried
zcrips xrabbitz> to spoof most of them but still my
zcrips xrabbitz> packets didn't get routed
zcrips xrabbitz> i tried using etterape to watch
zcrips xrabbitz> traffic flow and come up with a route but i
zcrips xrabbitz> figure out that nearly all traffic
zcrips xrabbitz> was internal most hosts were connecting
zcrips xrabbitz> to each other

zcrips xrabbitz> HELP:
zcrips xrabbitz> HOW CAN I ROUTE PACKETS THROUGH
zcrips xrabbitz> TO OTHER CLIENTS OR BECOME A CLIENT
zcrips xrabbitz> OR IS THERE A BETTER WAY I COULD DO
zcrips xrabbitz> THIS WHOLE PENTEST FROM THE BEGINING
zcrips xrabbitz> PLS ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
