Notes about VMWare or any other virtualisation software

VMWare or any other virtualisation software generally does not allow backtrack 2 or 3 or any other OS as guest to operate fully with any devices that are not USB which also includes wireless devices. Do not ask for support when using VMWare or any other virtualisation software when you have either: PCI/PCI-E/PCMCIA/MINI-PCI/MINI-PCIe/EXPRESS CARD and that you want virtualisation support in either #remote-exploit or the forum as this is beyond our control.

More information maybe found at Talk:HCL:Wireless or on the forum.

Notes for broadcom owners

Broadcom has used some of the BCM43XX designations for more than one flavor of card. To tell for sure if your card is supported, use the command 'lspci -n| grep 14e4'.

If 14e4:XXXX is 4301, 4307, 4311, 4312, 4318, 4319, 4320, 4321 (aka 4306 802.11b/g? only), 4324, or 4325, the card is supported with b43 driver.

All others are with 4313, 4315 (4310?), 4328 (4321 802.11n dualband), 4329 (4321 802.11n 2.4GHz), 432a (4321 802.11 5GHz), 432b (4322), 432c, 432d can only use broadcom's linux_sta driver, which is similar to using ndiswrapper.

You will need kernel.lzm if you downloaded cdrom version and will need to compile this driver. You may also need compat-wireless if the driver does not work and/or search for possible answers via google. Last but not least, there is absolutely NO support whatsoever with linux_sta for monitoring/injecting. Desperate users can try and join their mailing list

Driver : IPW2100 Special Notes: Will enter monitor mode, but cannot inject.

===================================== YES for IPW2200 Sorry, but it works with injection patch I use ipw2200-1.2.1 and package of aircrack.0.90 need to compile, and install Kismet works fine but I prefer airodump-ng Attack works under aireplay -2 -3 -4 -5 and -9, but not for -0 and -1

Page 10: Wireless Cards & USB Wireless

IPW2200

Driver : IPW2200 (With Injection Patches)

Boots Live and installs on hard drive detecting and installing the ipw2200 pached drivers perfectly (also on dual and multi-boot environments (MacOS, Vista, XP, BT)

About Injection, Void11 cannot be used to deauth stations. ONLY the "--interactive", "--arpreplay" and "--chopchop" options of Aireplay-ng work, due to an ipw2200 limitation. You must enable the rtap0 interface executing the following commands to make injection posible before doing anything else:

- rmmod ipw2200 - modprobe ipw2200 rtap_iface=1 - ifconfig eth1 up - ifconfig rtap0 up

Injection has proven to be succesfull with "-i rtap0 eth1" interface parameter at the end of your aireplay-ng --arpreplay command. This allows to capture at the same time using the rtap0 interface with other programs.

Example of arp injection command:

- aireplay-ng --arpreplay -b 00:00:00:00:00:00 -h 11:11:11:11:11:11 -i rtap0 eth1

GUI Wireless tools are at early development. Sometimes they don't work as expected and network parameters must been set in konsole. Things may appear failing when they are actually working:

- Wireless assistant may say "connection failed" but you are associated with the AP. - Running Kismet a 2nd time does not work because inteface is set in monitor mode. - Injection failing because deauth attack is not posible, but deauth is not the only method.

You may feel misfuncionalities when following tutorials step by step without ANY previous knowledge, especially those for Wep cracking because of its complexity. But the true is that full funcionality is found on this chipset except for a few injection attacks that doesn't prevent you from auditing WEP and WPA wireless security. But to achieve this you have to learn and master some essential of linux connectivity tasks, and commands to set up network parameters using the console and troubleshoot results. You only have to check

Page 11: Wireless Cards & USB Wireless

the manuals, learn and practice all possible options of the following 5 commands to be succesfull with this nice integrated ipw2200 chipset:

- ifconfig - iwconfig - iwlist - modprobe - ping

aireplay only thing not working

Will not inject even with the patch enabled.

Kismet & AirMon didnot work for me.

Kismet did work for me.

Good tutorial for injection can be found here: http://tinyshell.be/aircrackng/forum/index.php?topic=1775.0

This tutorial worked out of the box for me, no driver patching required, however ony aireplay-ng injection attacks -2, -3, and -4 work though.

Injection is working alright, but you can only inject data frames (arp injecting works, for example). That means deauth and other attacks that may require management frames can't work. Bear in mind you must use rtap_iface=1 when loading the module to use the rtap interface, through which you can sniff while you inject in the eth interface (you have to do it that way or it won't work).

Be careful with the new 2.6 kernels, you may need to use irqpoll at boot to avoid an IRQ conflict on your computer -see below ipw3495 (in that case the conflicting device won't work at all so if it's just injection that fails, it's not an irqpoll problem).

We could not use any injecion on this due to it using Centrino technology.

attacks. For Kismet, edit your Kismet.conf to "source=ipw3945,wifi0,Intel" Notice: After starting airodump-ng only run one command at a time. If you do

not your system may hang or freeze.

ifconfig wifi0 down #Change to AP BSSID nano /sys/class/net/wifi0/device/bssid # Channel of AP nano /sys/class/net/wifi0/device/channel # Change from 108 to 2 nano /sys/class/net/wifi0/device/rate ifconfig wifi0 up airodump-ng rtap0 #wifi0 is used for all other commands.

Driver : Madwifi-ng Chipset : Atheros

When the card is enabled and in monitor mode it can not change back to channel 1 via iwconfig commands.

iwconfig ath0 channel 1

Will not work. It will not COMPLAIN either. So unless you are actually double-checking the freq you are on, you don't know that it's not working.

To get the card back on channel 1 for monitoring, you'll have to ifconfig ath0 down, iwconfig ath0 channel 1, and then ifconfig ath0 up.[3]

Driver: bcm43xx Chipset: Broadcom 4306 External Antenna: None Notes: Tested with BackTrack 3 beta released on 14th December 2007, 700MB

CD version (bt3b141207.iso). Notes: Both monitor mode and packet injection work fine (with the following

caveats below). Notes: The wireless interface is eth1, and it must be "brought up" before use.

The command to do this is:

ifconfig eth1 up

You will now see the "Power" and "Link" lights have turned on, which indicates that the card is ready for use.

Notes: When using the --arpreplay option of aireplay-ng, the default packet speed is too fast for the bcm43xx driver to handle, so it keeps crashing every hundred packets or so. To fix this, add option: "-x 30" to the command line, which will limit aireplay-ng to 30 packets per second. I've found that "30" is the highest value it can take without crashing. This will slow things down quite a bit, but not too badly and at least it works.

Notes : There is a common misconception with regards to this device requiring two USB connectors. This device does not exactly need both USB connectors plugged in for it to work. The only reason why it was provided with two USB

Page 27: Wireless Cards & USB Wireless

connectors is because of an instance whereby a person uses either an unpowered USB hub and/or the output from the computer's USB port is inadequate (very rare case for computers to do that, most do power their USB ports) and with other USB devices hooked onto either the unpowered USB hub or computer's USB ports there may not be enough power for the USB network dongle to work. So having the second USB connector plugged in gives the USB network dongle a slightly upper hand advantage in being provided with more power.

Notice : Range is moderate but both monitor mode and injection work perfectly. Injects IV's at a very slow rate (about 300-500 IV's per minute), taking about 35 hours to collect 1,000,000 IV's.

Update : Injection is faster under bt4 beta (300-400pps). Just need to ifconfig wlan0 up to use it.

Belkin have changed the chipset that they use in the usb adapters apparently. They now use the bcm4320 chipset instead of the rt2570. The bcm4320 drivers will only work with rndis_wlan which requires mac80211. There will probably be no support for rndis_wlan in terms of monitoring/injecting.

Owners of the older version of the hardware (with rt2570) are recommended to use serialmonkey's/ASPj's driver which should already be included in the backtrack.

Driver : rt73 Chipset : Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2501USB Wireless Adapter Notice : At first I plugged this in to my computer,and it didn't work. airodump-

ng rausb0 showed no APs detected. Updating to the latest driver made this work. Once I got this card working, it detected more AP's than my WMP54G and my Netgear WG111v2, injected as well as either, but did not report Power properly.

Here are the steps to update the driver and make this card work:

Download the latest driver from http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~p_larbig/wlan/As of 2009-04-16, the latest driver is 3.0.2http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~p_larbig/wlan/rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.2.tar.bz2

Driver: zd1211rw Chipset zd1211b lsusb: 0ace:1215 FCC ID: ???

Tested to work on bt2 and bt3. With bt2 there's issues with airodump-ng as it sometimes output garbled letters in various fields notably in the ESSID section. In bt3 the issue is fixed but it drops the packets out instead of properly processing them, something to do with rate limiting.

Notice 1 (properly for BT2): For basic functionality, you need to get the firmware from [here], untar it to /usr/lib/firmware/ - reinsert the card and the firmware should load OK. Addendum: I had to unzip to /lib/firmware/zd1211, but after that it worked fine.

Notice 2 (for BT3): Test with 1211b / Lutec USB Stick:

Works out of the box in monitoring mode, runs as eth1 (on my box, yours may differ). Injection is possible without any driver or kernel modding, but ONLY with SpoonWEPs POS801 attack (didn´t find the according aireplay mode, airreplay standalone DID NOT work!). Besides, for me WEP cracking did only work like this - but then without any problems:

a.) "airodump-ng eth1", get bssid, close it

b.) start SpoonWEP. It´s only used for starting the correct airreplay mode.

c.) Select 2nd Attack Option (POS801..), this is the ONLY attack-mode which will work with 1211b!

d.) Close SpoonWEP`s WS-Dump window, keep SpoonWEP`s Mainwindow = aireplay thread running

e.) start airodump-ng again, dump data traffic now

f.) start aircrack-ng manually

g.) you are done!

Conclusion: not perfect, but cheap USB-Dongle WEP-Cracking out of the box - without any patching - if u know what to do.

-> *NOOB-Compatibility Award*

Still, Realtek-USB-Chipset more recommended if u can find it, can run SpoonWEP without any hacks.
