<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Wifi or Wireless Fidelity is the name of a popular wireless networking technology that uses radio waves to provide wireless high-speed Internet and network connections (</span><i style="border-width: 0px; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">as if you didn't know..</i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">), Wifi has become an integral part of our lives today. Wifi is secured using a WPA protocol which intends to secure Wireless LANs like Wired LAN's by encrypting data over radio waves, however, it has been found that WEP is not as secure as once believed.Now almost anyone can </span><b style="border-width: 0px; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">hack into a Wifi network</b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> by generating the valid WEP key using </span><a href="http://www.hackerschronicle.com/search/label/Backtrack" style="border-width: 0px; color: #104e8b; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank" title="Backtrack 3 - The ultimate security tool"><b style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Backtrack</b></a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">.

Once you have set up all the parameters, you need to <b style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">sniff and dump data packets</b> in order to get the key.You can do so by using following commands. On the command, console type these commands -</div>
<ul style="border-width: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px;">

</ul>
<div style="border-width: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
As you execute the command, you will see a certain number of beacons and data packets that will be stored in the filename you have given. The file will be stored in the root of the system drive (<i style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Click on Computer and you will see the file</i>).The file will be present in two formats: *.cap, *.txt.</div>

However packet dumping is quite a slow process,we need to speed up things to save our time.Open a new console after the first data packet has been stored and type the command in the new console and execute it<b style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><u style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"></u></b></div>

<div style="border-width: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
As you type this command you will see that the data packets required for breaking the key will increase dramatically thereby saving you a lot of time.</div>

Open another console once you have around 20,000 data packets and type the following command to reveal the WEP key.<b style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><u style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"></u></b></div>

<div style="border-width: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
As you type this command, you will see that a key will appear in front of you in the given below format:</div>
<blockquote style="background-color: #f7f7f7; border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); color: black; font-family: 'Courier New','MS Sans Serif',sans-serif,serif; font-style: normal; margin: 5px auto 15px; padding: 10px; width: 527px;">

</blockquote>
<div style="border-width: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
It is not necessary that the key should have exactly the same digits as shown above so please don't freak out if you see a 10 digit or 14 digit key. Also if the decryption fails, you can change the bit level of the decryption in the command:</div>
<blockquote style="background-color: #f7f7f7; border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); color: black; font-family: 'Courier New','MS Sans Serif',sans-serif,serif; font-style: normal; margin: 5px auto 15px; padding: 10px; width: 527px;">

<div style="border-width: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
Remember, the bit level should be a number of 2<sup style="border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">n</sup> where n:1,2,3,4…</div>
<div style="border-width: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">
