The easiest way to install Ubuntu, or any distro at that, is to make a bootable flash drive to install from. From Linux or Windows you can download and install UNetbootin, which will automatically download Ubuntu and create a bootable flash drive. All you have to do is stick in a flash drive and select the distro and version you want (in this case, obviously, Ubuntu 8.10). Do not choose the 8.10 net install…emphasis on NET…just choose the Live version.

Once UNetbootin finishes, open your USB drive and do the following:

Delete SYSLINUX.CFG:

rm SYSLINUX.CFG

Rename the ISOLINUX directory to SYSLINUX:

mv ISOLINUX SYSLINUX

Enter the SYSLINUX directory:

cd SYSLINUX

Rename ISOLINUX.CFG to SYSLINUX.CFG:

mv ISOLINUX.CFG SYSLINUX.CFG

Now you have a working Ubuntu Live Flash Drive!

Insert your new flash drive into one of the *right* USB ports of your Asus eee 1000HA. I say right because they have been a lot more reliable for me when booting from USB, but maybe that’s just me.

Boot up your eee and push esc when you see the boot screen. This should bring up the familiar Ubuntu Live screen where you can pick whether to start a Live session or go to the Installation. Installation is the obvious choice here. The Ubuntu Installation itself is past the scope of this wiki, but you can find help at ubuntu.com.

The first thing we are going to do is install BackTrack 3 onto an SD card so we can boot from the SD card without having to mess up our currently installed OS. I am not going to go into the details of how to do that here, as it is readily available all over the internet. Here is the article I followed. Apparently the article which I followed has been taken down, but a quick google search should find another.

After you have booted into BackTrack 3, we are ready for the fun part. The first thing we will do is shutdown our wifi card. In the terminal:

ifconfig ath0 down

Next we want to bring it back up, but in monitor mode:

airmon-ng start wifi0

You should see that a new interface called ath1 was created. That is the interface we are going to use for the rest of our cracking. Next:

airodump-ng ath1

This will list all of the wifi signals your card is picking up. There are two things you are going to want to write down: the BSSID and the Channel (CH), and also make sure the Encryption (ENC) is WEP. Or, if you don’t want to write thpre down, just open a new shell and leave that one open.

Now press

ctrl+c

to stop airodump-ng. Open a new console (if you haven’t already) and type:
