This tutorial explaining how to crack most WEP encrypted Access Points out there. The tools used will be as follows: Kismet (any working version) >= Aireplay 2.2 beta >= Aircrack 2.1 As for wireless cards, i recommend any Prism , Orinoco , or Atheros based cards (i used the D-Link 650 Rev.1a). Getting Started: Let's see, First thing you are going to want to do is charge your lappy to the top (aireplay and aircrack drain the battery quite a bit) Next you are going to want to load up your favourite live CD (i used Whoppix 2.7 final) or Linux OS, then stumble across a encrypted WLAN, use Kismet to do so. Make sure you have configured your kismet .conf file correctly to be able to use your card (locate your kismet.conf file and open with your favourite text editor, i used pico); CODE # Sources are defined as: # source=sourcetype,interface,name[,initialchannel] # Source types and required drivers are listed in the README # The initial channel is optional, if hopping is not enabled...

Mail for Exchange, Nokia's enterprise. push email solution based on Microsoft's Exchange ActiveSync protocol , has yet again received an upgrade. The most recent version is Mail for Exchange 2.3 . I'm really impressed by the frequency Nokia updates Mail for Exchange . It seems as if a new version is available every other month or so. Considering the fact that the solution is free I am amazed by the constant updates. Sure, not all the updates are major but I rather have many, incremental updates and tweaks rather than wait a year for some big, bundled update. Anyway, the new version includes one fix/new feature: When trying to synchronize with a server that has an expired certificate, the user is now given the choice of continuing the synchronization. Previously, the scenario resulted in an error and the synchronization was stopped. (From the Release Notes ) If you don't have a Microsoft Exchange acccount but still want to try out the Mail for Exchange and a push email b...

U.S.-based PC vendor Everex has announced plans to offer a WiMAX-enabled version of its mini-notebook. The "CloudBook Max" will feature a mobile WiMAX radio chip supplied by GCT Semiconductor, and will work with Sprint's high-speed XOHMwireless network, Everex said. Sprint's Xohm network is scheduled to launch in Chicago, Baltimore, and Washington D.C. in spring of 2008, with other cities following "soon," the company says. Nokia has also promised a WiMAX-enabled version of its N800 Internet tablet for use with the Xohm network, while Linux MID-maker Electrobit (EB) is also planning Xohm-enabled devices. The market for WiMAX goods and services is slated to grow from $27 million in 2007 to $500 million in 2012, according to recent figures from Strategy Analytics. Everex says the CloudBook Max will boast an 8.9-inch screen -- larger than that found in its first-generation Cloudbook (click for hands-on review), which is based on Via's Nanobook reference des...

tip came into my Email from Harriv (Thanks!) showing me this thread on InternetTabletTalk. User sgoerg got DVB-H television to work on his N800! It's a fantastic post and an even more interesting thread. In this particular post, he explains what is needed. I was unable to reach Stefan before publishing this, but I hope to do a more in-depth feature on it soon. The photo above is his. In case you missed the software/hardware you need to get USB Host functionality working on your N800 or N810, check this post. A reader requested I test out a USB to Ethernet adapter on the tablet. I did as requested, but was unable to get the network stack to recognize it. The screenshot below shows more information. My guess is that it would take a lot of manual configuration even if the kernel or modules supported the USB to Ethernet device directly. That particular USB Ethernet adapter is my favorite as it has worked on every machine and operating system I've tested it on to date. In fact, I us...

making a USB Host Mode program to switch between USB Client, USB OnTheGo, and USB Host. Installation: Now that it's added to the repositories, it's a one-click install and worked fine for me. The hardware requirement is the included USB cable with the Internet Tablet and a "Female to Female" USB adapter. I got one at Fry's Electronics for $4. The application is simple: Three buttons on the bottom allow you to select host mode, OTG mode, and (the default) Peripheral mode. OTG mode is for cameras and related devices supporting that protocol. Peripheral mode turns your tablet into a card reader to look at the internal and card storage. Host mode allows other devices (such as flash drives and keyboards) to be connected. I tested it with a variety of devices: USB Flash Drive - Success USB Hard Drive - Limited success: External drives must be both fully powered externally (not just through one of those USB power splitters) and must not be formatted with NTFS. I tested a...

Right on cue, Nokia's WiMAX-enabled N810 Internet Tablet has surfaced at CTIA 2008, and yep, this critter is destined to go on sale here in the US of A this summer. Beyond that, you'll notice the familiar 4.13-inch touchscreen, slide-out QWERTY keyboard and even a built-in webcam for video calls, Mozilla-powered browser, integrated GPS / media player, 2GB of internal memory and a microSD expansion slot. Heck, Nokia even touts this thing's ability to "access the Internet over WiFi or via conventional cellular data networks by pairing to a compatible mobile phone via Bluetooth technology." Also announced today is the freshly updated OS2008, which includes an enhanced e-mail client, support for Chinese character rendering in the browser and RSS feeds and "Seamless Software Update functionality" to boot. Needless to say, said OS will come standard on the currently unpriced Nokia N810 WiMAX Edition -- which is scheduled to land wherever WiMAX connectivity is ...
