These techniques describe how to test wireless networks for security holes.
It is very important to check if your network is vulnerable.


These instructions describe how to test wireless networks for security holes and how to use the various security softwares with the XO OLPC. However, great care should be taken in using these tools and software as they may brick your XO in the worst case or considerably bloat your configuration. (Especially when saving large data files...)

These instructions describe how to test wireless networks for security holes and how to use the various security softwares with the XO OLPC. However, great care should be taken in using these tools and software as they may brick your XO in the worst case or considerably bloat your configuration. (Especially when saving large data files...)

Check General XO Firmware

to do

Check Wireless Firmware

Check that you have a recent version of the wireless firmware by following these instructions: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Test_Config_Notes#Update_the_wireless_firmware

Update your software

to do

Find a target network

Press the Mesh button and inspect any interesting access point (AP).

Check if the network has some form of security

If you can connect to the access point without any trouble, the network is not secured. Check the instructions at #Securing your network.

Install security related software

In order to continue we need some network tools:

wireshark: kismet: aircrack-ng nessus bind-utils traceroute

We can install all of these in one go (in the terminal application): 

sudo yum install wireshark kismet aircrack-ng nessus bind-utils traceroute

Probably you should use: 

yum install wireshark_gnome

Configuration of Network Tools

to do


Collect Network data

Cracking a WEP key

Follow the instructions at this page: http://docs.lucidinteractive.ca/index.php/Cracking_WEP_and_WPA_Wireless_Networks


TODO: We should write a short distillation of that wiki here.

Cracking a WPA key

Execute the following command in the terminal application while there is a client succesfully connected to the wireless access point: 

 aireplay -0 5 -a <AP MAC> -c <Client MAC> ath0

Cracking mesh networks

TODO

Securing your network
