How to Break WEP Encryption

Breaking any encryption involves knowing a few things. First, you have to know that there is an encryption scheme. Secondly, you must know how encryption works. Breaking any code manually is near impossible; luckily, you can break the WEP encryption if you use a packet-sniffing program.

1 - Use Linux. Windows cannot sniff WEP packets, but you can use a bootable CD of Linux.

  1. 2 - Get a packet-sniffing program. Backtrack is a commonly-used option. Download the iso image and burn it on a bootable CD/DVD.
  2. Hackwep1.jpg
    3
    Boot Linux and Backtrack. Use your bootable CD/DVDs.
    • Note that this operating system is not required to be installed on hard drive. That means whenever you shutdown the Backtrack, all your data will be lost.
  3. Hackwep2.jpg
    4
    Select a start-up option. The following Backtrack screen will show after booting. Change the option with the up and down arrow keys and select one. This tutorial will use the first option.
  4. Hackwep3.jpg
    5
    Load the graphical interface via command base. In this option, Backtrack is started on command base. Type command: startx to continue.
  5. Hackwep4.jpg
    6
    Click on terminal button at the bottom left. It'll be the fifth option.
  6. Hackwep5.jpg
    7
    Wait for the Linux command terminal to open.
  7. Hackwep6.jpg
    8
    View your WLAN type. Enter the following command: "airmon-ng" (without quotes). You should see something like wlan0 beneath Interface.
  8. Hackwep7.jpg
    9
    Get all the required information for the access point. Enter the following command: "airodump-ng wlan0" (without quotes). You should get three things:
    • BSSID
    • Channel
    • ESSID (AP Name)
    • Here's what the tutorial case turned up:
      • BSSID 00:17:3F:76:36:6E
      • Channel number 1
      • ESSID(AP Name)Suleman
        Hackwep8.jpg
  9. Hackwep9.jpg
    10
    Enter the following command. This one will use the example information above, but you should plug in your own. Command: "airodump-ng -w wep -c 1 -- bssid 00:17:3F:76:36:6E wlan0" (without quotes).
  10. Hackwep10.jpg
    11
    Allow setup to start.
  11. Hackwep11.jpg
    12
    Open a new terminal window. Type the following command, substituting the values for your own BSSID, Channel and ESSID. Command: "aireplay-ng -1 0 –a 00:17:3f:76:36:6E wlan0" (without quotes).
  12. Hackwep12.jpg
    13
    Open another new terminal window. Type the following command: "aireplay-ng -3 –b 00:17:3f:76:36:6e wlan0" (without quotes).
  13. Hackwep13.jpg
    14
    Allow setup to start.
  14. Hackwep14.jpg
    15
    Go back to the first terminal window.
  15. Hackwep15.jpg
    16
    Allow the data in this window to reach to 30000 or above. It will take 15 to 60 minutes (or more) depending on wireless signal, hardware and load on access point.
  16. Hackwep16.jpg
    17
    Go to the third terminal window and press Ctrl + c.
  17. Hackwep17.jpg
    18
    Pull up the directories. Type the following command: "dir" (without quotes). This will show the directories saved on it during decrypting.
  18. Hackwep18.jpg
    19
    Use a cap file. For the example, it would be the following: "aircrack-ng web-02.cap" (without quotes). The setup shown below will start.
  19. Hackwep19.jpg
    20
    Break the WEP encrypted key. After this setup completes, you'll be able to break the key. In this example, it was {ADA2D18D2E}.

Update Samsung Galaxy Wonder I8150 to Android Jelly Bean

I’ve always wanted to update my Samsung Galaxy Wonder to Android Jelly Bean; lately my cellphone became quite slow (especially after the latest upgrades to Android 2.3 from Samsung) and I always wanted to install Chrome and Google Keep that both require Android 4. Samsung does not provide any official release of Android 4, so I decided to go for a custom ROM. In particular, I’m using Android Jelly Bean, 4.2.2, CyanogenMod 10.1 ALPHA (Build 7).
I had quite a hard time to understand how to install it; basically because I had never installed a custom ROM. Moreover, the instructions to do that can be found on the web but I never found a complete tutorial that shows the procedure from the very start: they all assume that you have already done previous steps.
Then, I decided to write a complete tutorial (this is based on Windows). This assumes you have an external sdcard on the phone.
The update will wipe out all your data, so make sure you backup them first. Proceed at your own risk. You will also lose Samsung warranty.
PLEASE, if you have problems with this custom ROM, DO NOT post comments to this blog post: use the official discussion forum thread.
Make sure you read the whole tutorial first, before proceeding.
Disclaimer: All the tools, mods or ROMs mentioned below belong to their respective owners/developers. I am not to be held responsible if you damage or brick your device.

USB Drivers

Make sure you can connect your Android phone with the computer. If not, install the USB drivers for Samsung Galaxy W properly. The easiest way is to install Samsung Kies.

Install ClockworkMod recovery using Odin

Extract the odin Multi_Downloader_v4.43.exe file and run it.
In Odin
  • enable “One Package” in options
  • Select the Ancora.ops file,
  • load the md5 file with the “One Package” button
Now you need to put your phone it into download mode, in order to upload the clockworkmod recovery file:
  • turn off phone,
  • hold Volume Down + Home + Power Button for a while till the phone turns on.
  • the phone will turn on and show some screen,
  • plug in usb cable
  • press Volume Up
At this point Odin should detect the connected phone
In Odin press the “Start” button, and the downloading should start (see the phone):
Wait for the download to finish (see Odin)
Now you can unplug and turn-off the phone.

Create a backup of the current image

Turn on the phone in the Recovery Mode: hold Volume Up + Home + Power Button for a while till the phone turns on (Note: this time it is “Volume Up”, not “Volume Down”). Release power button as soon as samsung logo appears and hold your volume up button + home button until clockworkmod recovery appears on the screen
To use the menus:
  • Volume buttons to move in the menu
  • Home button to select a menu
  • Power button to go back
Select “backup and restore” and then “backup to external sdcard”:
and wait for the backup to complete
You can now reboot the phone from the main screen. The phone will reboot as usual.
You may want to store a copy of the backup in your computer hard disk; just connect the phone with USB, and navigate to the directory where the backup was saved on the phone sdcard:

Perform the update

Put these files in the root folder of your external SD card (you can turn on the phone as usual and connect it via USB for that, or copy these files from the computer using an external card reader).
When the copy finished, disconnect the phone and turn it off.
Switch ON the phone in the Recovery Mode: pressing and holding Volume Up + Home + Power buttons together.
Now wipe data and cache selecting the following commands (and wait for them to complete)
  • Select “wipe data/factory reset”
  • Select “wipe cache partition”
  • Select “advanced” and then select “wipe dalvik cache”
Now go back to the main menu (Recall: use the power button to go back)
Select “install zip from sdcard” and choose the zip file containing the OS (in this case it is cm-10.1-20130611-EXPERIMENTAL-ancora-alpha7.zip) from the root of the SD card (where you previously copied it).
Now do the same for the google apps zip file: select “install zip from sdcard” and choose the zip file containing the OS (in this case it is gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip) from the root of the SD card.

Reboot into the new system

Now you’re ready to reboot into the new system from the main menu!
NOTE: Your Phone will boot now and it might take about 5 minutes to boot on your first time. So, please wait.
If everything went fine, you should see the new logo
Then you should see all the menu screens for configuring the phone!
Note: as for me, this procedure started with an error message saying that the vocal synthesis engine crashed, but I simply ignored the message and went on.
After you inserted your Google account, the phone should be ready; at this point, if you selected an Internet connection, all the applications you had previously installed from Google Play should be installed automatically… it took about an hour in my case.

How to install Android KitKat on Galaxy S2 with CM 11

I shared the good news this morning that CyanogenMod have added the Galaxy S2 to their list of supported devices for the CM 11 ROM based on Android 4.4 KitKat. I've been running CM 11 for a couple of months now and have been very impressed. Now, you can get the same KitKat experience on the aging but still wonderful international model Galaxy S2 I9100. Here's how to do it.

Warning

The installation of custom ROMs is risky, so if you do not follow the procedure properly, you can end up with an unusable phone. Back up all your data first, charge your battery and proceed with caution. Neither AndroidPIT nor myself will be held responsible for any damage done to your phone as a result of this process.

Prerequisites

I'll assume that your Galaxy S2 (I9100) is rooted and you have already made a Nandroid backup of your system. If you're not rooted and are unsure how to root your Galaxy S2, check this S2 root tutorial. You should also backup your app data too as this process will wipe your device.

Downloads

Download the latest CM 11 Nightly for the Galaxy S2 I9100. As always, there's nothing preventing you from flashing a newer version, once it is available.
Also download the Google applications package for KitKat: gapps-kk

Install Android 4.4 on the Galaxy S2 KitKat with CM 11

Since your S2 is rooted, we will use the good old custom recovery method. As a reminder, here is the procedure:
1. Download both zip files given above on your Galaxy S2.

2. Place both files in the root directory of your S2.

3. Turn off the Galaxy S2 and restart in Recovery Mode (Home + Power + Volume Up until the logo appears or the third vibration and release).

4. Perform a factory reset by selecting and confirming the option "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" then "Wipe Cache". Some users prefer to ''Format System'' / ''Wipe Dalvik Cache'' at this point too.

5. Then select "install zip from sd card" and locate the CM 11 zip you downloaded before.

6. Click "Yes" to confirm.

7. Next, flash the gapps zip file.

8. Return to the main Recovery Menu and select "Reboot System Now".

The first reboot on CM 11 may take a few minutes. Let us know how you like it!
