HD26200 bridge WiFi Netowrk upto five miles

HD Communications Corp has introduced a wireless network extender system that allows users to bridge a WiFi up to five miles. The $318 HD26200 system, which requires direct line of sight, is a complete outdoor wireless network bridge in the 802.11 b/g 2.4GHz band that uses two high performance Ubiquiti network radios with integrated 17dbi dual polarity antennas. The HD26200 bridge is powered over ethernet, allowing a single outdoor CAT5 cable to bring both data and power to the radios. "Since the introduction of WiFi radios people have tried to push the range of consumer level products by adding external antennas, RF cables, and WiFi amplifiers. The cost of those devices often totaled well over $500 and that was after they had already bought two D-Link or Linksys radios for $75 each," said Don Davis, President and CEO of HD Communications Corp. "Now they can have an FCC certified wireless bridge that will work better, look better, is easier to configure, and easier to in...

Cracking WPA-PSK secured Wireless Networks

WiFi Hacking part - WPA-PSK cracking. The text about cracking WPA coding is an alternative to the classic process (dictionary atack - cracking WPA key with Aircrack-ng and wordlist). I have used Cowpatty, John the Ripper and genPMK. Additionaly to the pentest you can get hash at Lostboxen (6GB) or at Shmoo (35GB) and wordlist for generating your own control sums.. After dowloading and decompressing the hashe (having a weaker processor might take a while :) are available by random browser of system files. You can use the way to the file in the folder where it is saved or it can be copied to the place where you are going to test it. When using this technique PSK crack is not a dictionary atack but a comparison of control sums. I am mentioning the dictionary it self because of two reasons. The possibility of a dictionary atack exists all the time and somebody still enjoys the classic way :) The other more interesting possibility is to generate your own hashe by the tool genPMK. After the ...

Destruction Mode with Charon 2 GUI

Last year we told about not so well know tool called MDK, as part of the "Cracking WEP key - Acces Point with pree-shared key (PSK" concept. Alot of time has passed by since then and now we have well workiong stable version even with GUI extension Charon. It was not much of a deal in Fall 2007, but the situation has changed. The autor has also decidedd to eneble the Destruction Mode in the menu. The extension is written in Java and is very stable. If you have not encountered the MDK tool before, it is a proof-of-concept tool from the authors of the PTW implementation in aircrack-ng (Darmstadt Lab). It tses 8 concepts of attacking wireless networks. b - Beacon Flood Mode sends beacon frames and confuses the client by creating fake APs. This is able to make AP scanning applications and devices unusable a - Authentication DoS mode sends auth frames to all APs in range. This results in freezinig or restarting devices p - Basic probing a ESSID Bruteforce mode sends probe requests ...

WiFi Antenna pigtail and connectors

A pigtail, is a short cable needed to connect the DIY antenna to a laptop or desktop wireless card and/or access point. A pigtail (sometimes called a laptop adapter cable) is a short length of microwave-friendly coaxial cable with connectors on both ends. It needs to be short because coaxial cable is very lossy at microwave frequencies, and the loss is proportional to the length of the cable.You can make you own (see below), but unless you have experience soldering small connectors to coax, spend you money on a ready-made pigtail. Since the DIY antenna uses a standard N-Female connector, the antenna end of the pigtail will need to be a standard N-Male connector. Look for quality N connectors, low loss silver-plated with gold contacts, not the cheaper silver contacts. If necessary, you can add a PCMCIA or USB adapter to your laptop that will accept the other end of the pigtail. Look for cards/adapters with external antenna connections! Type N connector (photo) is a threaded RF connector...

The vendor, danets (otherwise known as DataCom Network Ltd.), also provides a useful though brief primer on antennas. If you get one of these TurboTennas let me know what you think of it.

Receive Sensitivity for WiFi hardware

Receive Sensitivity is how much signal a card needs to receive in order to work at that speed level. A 3 dB difference is double the power. You can now see some cards are getting much better distances. The difference between a Cisco 350 and a Addtron at 1 Mbps is 32x times the sensitivity. This means that the Cisco needs 1/32 as much signal strength as the Addtron does to work at the same rate. Also, a lower receive sensitivity number is better (IE: -95 is better than -80). Receive sensitivity is measured in dBm @BER 10E-5 or (or 8% FER). Note: IEEE 802.11 15.4.8.1 says that "F" in 8% FER for DSSS devices stands for an MPDU having 1024 octets. 8/100 (errors/frames) / (1024 (octets) * 8 (bits) = approx. 1/100,000 errors/bits = 10-5 BER. i.e. 8% FER should be comparable to 10-5 BER.

Nokia E66 and E71

Nokia fans, S60 fans, Symbian fans of all types, your attention, please! Allow us to set your hearts a-flutter with a few pictures of Nokia's latest two all-business smartphones, the rumored E66 and E71. Both models are pictured here out and about, doing what they do best -- a promising indication that we might be due for an official announcement in the not-too-distant future. We're told that both have 3.2 megapixel cameras (as expected), 128MB of memory, and as we've suspected from the few photos we've seen before, they're "sleek and sexy" in the flesh. Nokia's manufacturing processes appear to be continuing to improve, too, because we're told that the E66 feels "rugged and solid" despite the slide mechanism -- a sore spot with many an N95 owner.

Nokia E66 finds its way into the FCC

One of Nokia's upcoming business-class handsets, the svelte E66 slider, has garnered FCC approval ahead of a launch that we've got to believe is happening in the very near future now. That's the good news; the bad news is that there's zero North American 3G involved from what we can see in the test reports. That would make this one a tough sell for existing E65 customers in the States, we think, especially considering that prerelease units haven't been seen sporting Feature Pack 2. Ah well -- the E67, perhaps, Nokia? Turns out there's another E66 lurking in the FCC's midst that trades HSDPA 2100 for 850 / 1900

Linux May Power New Nokia Phones

The world's top handset maker Nokia Oyj expects the role of the Linux operating system in its product portfolio to increase as the role of its Internet-focused devices grows, company officials said. Linux has so far had little success on cellphones, but its role is increasing as more new Linux-based models reach the market, while Google Inc gave it a vote of confidence by using it to build its Android platform on. Nokia itself has used Linux for years in its Internet tablets, large phone-like devices used to access Internet on the go, but lacking calling functionality. "We will expand that range, and we believe that the role of Linux will grow," said Nokia spokesman Kari Tuutti. Linux is the most popular type of open source operating system which is available to the public to be used, revised and shared -- meaning it has a large developer community which could result in more attractive programs and lower costs for the likes of Nokia. Nokia has used the tablets to target t...

Debunking myths in wireless security

You're likely to get some bad wireless security advice from the guy at your local electronics superstore who sold you your router, because many of the commonly recommended wireless security tips floating around out there aren't actually all that useful and may even do more harm than good by lulling the end-user into a false sense of security. Hiding the SSID The SSID (Service Set Identifier) is an identification code (typically a simple name) broadcast by a wireless router. If a wireless device detects multiple SSIDs from multiple access points (APs), it will typically ask the end-user which one it should connect to. Telling a router not to broadcast its SSID may prevent basic wireless access software from displaying the network in question as a connection option, but it does nothing to actually secure the network. Any time a user connects to a router, the SSID is broadcast in plaintext, regardless of whether or not encryption is enabled. SSID information can also be picked up ...

Enabling a wireless security standard

Actually enabling a security standard (assuming you don't already run one) is simple. I'll provide a few sample screenshots from a Linksys WRT150 router (802.11n Draft 2.0 compliant); the procedure should be similar on any other product. Drop into the "Wireless Security" of the WRT150 and open the selection tab, and this is what you see: We're going to ignore WEP, since you really shouldn't be using it, and focus on the various WPA options. WPA Personal (aka, WPA-PSK) and WPA2-Personal are configured more-or-less identically. Select the option, choose your encryption method (TKIP or AES), and enter your chosen encryption key. There should be no need to change the default key renewal time (3,600 seconds) but if you need to do so, you can do that, as well. From this point, all you need to do is configure your various wireless adapters with the same information, and you should be up and running. Linksys' options for switching to RADIUS mode are a bit misl...

WPA and WPA2

WPA was developed in response to the flaws in WEP, and it's a much better security protocol than its predecessor. Unlike WEP, WPA uses a 48-bit initialization vector and a 128-bit encryption key. More importantly, however, WPA uses what's called the Temporary Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). Whereas WEP recycles the same key for encrypting all the packets flowing across the network, WPA's TKIP changes the encryption key every single time a packet is transmitted. This, combined with the use of longer keys, prevents a hacker from compromising a router simply by passively observing a large enough set of packet transmissions. The WPA2 standard is a 2004 update to the WPA specification that includes support for a US government-approved encryption protocol called Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). (AES can also now be used with WPA, though the presence of this option will probably depend on how recently your router received a firmware update.) Unlike WPA, WPA2 was not explicitly d...

WEP: Old, busted, and better than nothing

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) was the first wireless security protocol. Originally, WEP used a 40-bit encryption key, but this was later extended to 104 bits due to concerns over the security of the WEP standard. This change, however, was little more than a stop-gap measure, meant to make WEP less susceptible to brute-force attacks. WEP used a 24-bit initialization vector (IV) when encrypting both 40-bit and 104-bit ciphers. This 24-bit IV is vulnerable to cracking due to the low number of possible permutations (16,777,216 for those of you keeping count). Just last year, researchers succeeded in cracking 104-bit WEP encryption in about two minutes using an old Pentium-M machine. Unfortunately, WEP's flaws have yet to drive it from the market. As recently as last November, surveys showed that up to 25 percent of WAP hotspots were still using WEP, and the largest data theft in US history is thought to have been caused by the use of WEP encryption. Now that even WEP's 104-bit enc...

Secure Your Home Wi-Fi Network

Tech site Ars Technica runs down the basics of securing your home wireless network with the most secure and up-to-date methods. The main takeaway is that when you enable encryption on your wireless router, use WPA encryption instead of WEP, because it's better and stronger. Unlike WEP, WPA uses a 48-bit initialization vector and a 128-bit encryption key. More importantly, however, WPA uses what's called the Temporary Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). Whereas WEP recycles the same key for encrypting all the packets flowing across the network, WPA's TKIP changes the encryption key every single time a packet is transmitted. This, combined with the use of longer keys, prevents a hacker from compromising a router simply by passively observing a large enough set of packet transmissions. Ars lists common home network hardware—from an Xbox 360 to a Wii to an iPhone—and the various protocols they support. Luckily, most do speak WPA. Here's our full guide to setting up a home wirele...

Keep Your Wi-Fi Strong

The Web Worker Daily weblog suggests several methods to keep your router performing and your wireless internet strong. The post offers several tips for how to improve your wireless network, from performing a cycled reboot when things aren't working correctly to adding access points to boost your signal to every corner of your home. Honestly, after having turned my router into a super-router with both DD-WRT and Tomato, I've never enjoyed more stability and performance from a router. I can't remember the last time I had to do a cycled reboot, and the Wi-Fi signal boosting doesn't hurt, either. Routers running Tomato/DD-WRT also work as wireless bridges for extending your base signal, and they're a cheap way to do it. Let's hear how you keep your home network churning day in and out in the comments. Regular Checkups to Keep Your Wi-Fi Signal Spiffy [Web Worker Daily]

Inquiry into Tory e-mail blunder

The Information Commissioner is launching an investigation after the Conservatives accidentally sent details of 8,000 people to a radio station. The e-mail sent contained the names, addresses, telephone numbers and intentions of voters in the Crewe and Nantwich by-election. Deputy Information Commissioner David Smith said the disclosure, to Manx Radio, raised "serious concern". The Conservatives admitted a "mistake" had been made. Files deleted The information, which had been gathered by the Tories during the campaign for Thursday's by-election, was contained in three Excel files, and was sent in an e-mail to Manx Radio by accident, potentially breaching data protection laws. The e-mail was received by the radio station at lunchtime on Wednesday. It sent it on to the local newspaper in Crewe, although it is understood that both emails have now been deleted. via BBC NEWS

wicrawl

Wicrawl is a simple wi-fi (802.11x) Access Point auditor with a simple and flexible plugin architecture. The plugins allow us to find out useful information about an AP so we don’t have to manually check each access point. Plugins are implemented for existing common tools, and new plugins can be written in any language. Wicrawl is able to use multiple cards, and eventually will be able to use multiple computers. The goal is to automate the tedious task of scanning wi-fi access points for interesting information. This can be a useful tool for penetration testers looking to “crawl” through massive numbers of APs looking for interesting data. Plugins will be everything from DHCP and nmap to aircrack or hooks to move a motorized directional antenna around. Major features: o Passive detection of Access Points (This means that if there are clients, we can find out the SSIDs from APs that have broadcast turned off). o Support for multiple cards. Discovery can be run from one card, while the p...

Open Research

Busting The Bluetooth Myth Author(s): Max Moser Topic: During the last year, rumours had come to my attention that apparently it is possible to transform a standard 30USD Bluetooth® dongle into a full-blown Bluetooth® sniffer. Thinking you absolutely need Hardware to be able to hop 79 channels 1600 times a second I was rather suspicious about these claims. This paper is the result of my research into this area, answering the question whether it is possible or not.

AiroWizard

The AiroWizard is an WEP-recovering application, based on Aircrack-ng suite. It uses Airserv-ng via commview.dll to, put your card to "monitor mode".Then, Airodump-ng to find the desired wireless Access Point and collect data, Aireplay-ng to perform fake authentication and packet replay\injection, and finally, Aircrack-ng to recover (crack if you will..) a WEP key, needed to connect to a wireless Access Point. So, the AiroWizard is, as you can see, nothing more than just a .NET wrapper for Aircrack-ng suite. If you want a real deal, use BackTrack2 :) To use the AiroWizard, you have to read this and agree: 1.)It is an imperative that you have some basic networking knowledge, and that you know what you're doing, because using this software for illegal activities may get you to jail (which i strongly discourage for obvious reasons, and of course assume no resposibility if it happens.) 2.)Note that in some countries you're not allowed even to install this type of software...

About WPA and WPA2

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) is a class of systems to secure wireless (Wi-Fi) computer networks. It was created in response to several serious weaknesses researchers had found in the previous system, Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). WPA implements the majority of the IEEE 802.11i standard, and was intended as an intermediate measure to take the place of WEP while 802.11i was prepared. WPA is specifically designed to also work with pre-WPA wireless network interface cards (through firmware upgrades), but not necessarily with first generation wireless access points. WPA2 implements the full standard, but will not work with some older network cards. WPA2 implements the mandatory elements of 802.11i. In particular, it introduces a new AES-based algorithm, CCMP, that is considered fully secure. From March 13, 2006, WPA2 certification is mandatory for all new devices wishing to be Wi-Fi certified.
