Cracking WEP with eee PC 1000HA
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.
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

Now press
ctrl+c
