Talk:Wireless network hacking

From OLPC

Who started this page? And why doesn´t anyone keep it updated?

There is a lot of interesting work to do here. Lets try to list some:

1. A "to do" list for integrating wireshark into the XO 2. A "How to" use these tools for cracking/analysing a WiFi network.

[edit] Does aireplay-ng actually work?

I thought the Libertas driver/Marvell firmware didn't support injection?

[edit] Delete?

Any reason this page shouldn't just get deleted? It's a recipe for cracking WEP. There isn't any particular reason anyone would need to do this on an OLPC.

Are you kidding? The OLPC is the PERFECT wardriving machine!

[edit] Legitimate Network Analysis

I just moved to an apartment complex. I'm trying to figure out what's REALLY going on in on the various channels. I've also found the NetworkManager and/or network services aren't easily configured for my particular WAP configuration. Tools like this are not bad, it's people that do bad things with them. I can imagine that understanding the wireless environment in a school with LOTS of laptops could be critically important to a deployment. Deleting this page would be wrong.

Unfortunately I see that the Marvell Libertas 88W8388 chipset isn't natively supported by kismet. A few folks on the OLPC news forums were also talking about this.
