INTRODUCTION
When you are seeing some wi-fi signal on your neighbourhood city and you have a laptop then what will you think?.Don’t you feel like “I wish I could some how break the password and dive into the deep oceans of the information” I believe everyone should be able to have free internet. If someday I make it big enough and I’ll be having ample money.. I promise I’ll provide free WiFi hotspots all over the places.. “Let there be INTERNET”.. even If I don’t get rich.. I’ll become a politician and would make Internet a Fundamental right to every citizen.. Now that would be something..
1) First of all we have to find a wireless access point along with its bssid, essid and channel number. To do this we will run kismet by opening up the terminal and typing in kismet. It may ask you for the appropriate adapter which in my case is ath0. You can see your device’s name by typing in the command iwconfig.
2) To be able to do some of the later things, your wireless adapter must be put into monitor mode. Kismet automatically does this and as long as you keep it open, your wireless adapter will stay in monitor mode.
3) In kismet you will see the flags Y/N/0. Each one stands for a different type of encryption. In our case we will be looking for access points with the WEP encryption.
Y=WEP N=OPEN 0=OTHER(usually WAP).
