How to crack a wep key from windows?

spudthedestroyer

I know you can crack a wep key using a variety of linux tools and several laptops, but I only have a single Windows Vista machine at my disposal atm. My wireless card is a Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AG.

Is it possible, preferably using a easy to configure tool, to crack a WEP key using a single laptop running vista?

I'd prefer not to have to compile up my own drivers, etc. I can but if there's an easy way, that would be great.

I was reading this but couldn't find the appropriate tools:

Aircrack-ng is available for Windows too: http://wirelessdefence.org/Contents/Air ... inMain.htm

I don't know how easy to use that tool is. I once used it with nUbuntu and it was pretty easy that way. I hope it works.

Edit:

Quote:

NOTE: Only a relatively small number of Wireless cards are supported under the Windows version of Aircrack-ng . See the Project Homepages compatibility list for full details.

IMPORTANT Information Regarding Windows Version IMPORTANT
The windows version requires you to develop your own DLLs to link aircrack-ng to your wireless card. The required DLLs are not provided in the download nor available anywhere on the Internet. Without these DLLs, the windows version will not function. Do NOT post questions or problems to the forum regarding the windows version. At present, there is no support provided.

Edit#2: Why don't you just use nUbuntu. That comes as a live CD and you can crack WEPs without installing it. I'd recommand that. Back when I tried it, I wouldn't have to install anything (drivers for example): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NUbuntu

I can only add the info that you will definitely need a tool for this. Cracking by hand is not possible.
Attacks are based on generated packets with a statistical high chance of cracking the WEP key.

Why would you want to do this btw. ? :wink:
