Hacking into a WEP secured network

[SMOKEU]

Does anyone here know if there is an app for Android that can do a brute force attack on a WEP secured network?

brute force is slow and it would take you about 400 years to get a 64bit encrypted passcode. (being the internet you watch someone come along and actually work out how long it would take to brute force a wep key!

just go up the road a bit to one of the 42984792736598327498326598732948932 free wifis that are available nowadays.

Not 100% sure but a brute force hack would put some serious pressure on a smart phone processor it would take millenia lol

For teh epic lulz. I just want to see if I can do it really, I'm not even going to try with WPA/WPA2 as that's very secure from what I've heard.

As per my subtle, and cowboyz's more informative posts, it's mission impossible.

Incorrect. WEP is cryptographically weak. It has been broken. Brute forcing is not required.

Getting it running on Android?

Probably not. No point, really. Why bother?

Just run Aircrack on a normal laptop first against the network in question and then you can connect with whatever you want.

Edit: WPA is broken, although not as badly as WEP. WPA2 is still secure, assuming you choose a password that is long enough not to be brute forced and can't be guessed. See http://arstechnica.com/security/news...-cracked.ars/1

O RLY?

I'll bet you a shiny dollar that if I took away everything but the WEP specification and told you to 'hack' it, you'd die of old age and it'd still be secure.

People like you are the reason I've always been embarrassed to be perceived as 'working in IT'.

I to "work in IT", and if you really think it's that hard I have to wonder about your "expertise". I'd be impressed if you managed to keep me outta a WEP network, you'd be doing alright to keep me outta a WPA network too, not so much credit keeping me outta WPA2 tho
