Hi,

Airodump and Aircrack have been ported to windows.
You have to play a little with your drivers, but it works fine.
I made it some times with success. But it's not as quick as on the
Linux version.
Iirc, all needed info are on the aircrack site (don't remember where,
but google should help.)
On the hardware side, I recommend a Lucent/orinoco 802.11b card, or an
Atheros based for a/b/g..
Hope this helps ..

Max

Contact me in private if you need more info.

Subject: Pentesting a WEP-protected wifi network

Hello list,

I am currenty trying to pentest a wireless network protected with WEP
(not sure if 40/64 or 104/128 bit).

I would like to know what are the best tools to use if the equipment I
have for the pentest is an XP workstation with a 802.11b D-link wireless
card.

I know there are many tools for Unix / Linux with certain wifi cards,
but I would like to prove if it is feasible to break a WEP key with just
an XP and any wifi card.

Thanks in advance for your help and best regards, Rodrigo.
