Aircrack 0.9.1 or 1.0 Dev for Alfa AWUS036H (drivers already patched)

[pilotsnipes]

btw, do u need
"rtl8187_2.61v3source.lzm"

What does it do? DOes it copy a folder into /root/rt...............???

Yes, I've found that sometimes the new module files don't load for the rtl8187 so by including the "source" directory, and running sh wlan0up before you plug in the alfa, it definitely loads the correct ones...

As I said, it works for me and that's the primary objective

The one which I just downloaded is v3 :P

How does one convert the new v4 patch into modules to replace the rtl8187_2.61v3source.lzm and rtl8187_2.6.21v3.lzm ones in pilotsnipes zip file?

By the way thanks to all that have freely contributed to this project. Your work is appreciated.

Newbie alert!
How can you tell that you have loaded the new ones?

NEW UPDATE AGAIN! (Blame the guys at aircrack-ng.org they're far too efficient!)

New modules files are released for the v4 patch for the alpa, AND have included the latest aircrack 0.9.1 svn 499 as well. If for some reason you want to use the official 0.9.1 release of aircrack - just replace the module file with the aircrack module file from 25/jun/07. (No reason to do this though!)

Check out post 1.


What's new in v4?
From http://tinyshell.be/aircrackng/forum...11261#msg11261

yes, 21v4 replaces the previous 21v3 (which is in 0.9.1).

There is just one change, a fix for a sensitivity issue, which got introduced in 20v4 thru a backport from the newer (but broken) 1025 driver.
The result was, that packets/frames with a very weak signal were ignored by the firmware, because of a too high threshold value. This is fixed and the sensitivity is now back to the original value.

Many thanks AGAIN to Hirte who works tirelessly on these drivers.

You let pilotsnipes work his magic

No problem.

I'm sure there's an official command you could use like lsmod, but if you follow the instructions you can't NOT load them!

1) USE VIRGIN BT2 ISO.
2) Add my modules files.
3) Load in VMWARE
4) Goto the shell, change to the rtl8187.....blah..blah directory (DON't attach alfa yet)
5)Run: sh wlan0up
6) Of you ONLY get an error message saying "can't find device" that means the modules loaded ok.
7)Continue to crack wep.

Is-it ok ?
I'm very not sure

Do NOT have your alfa plugged in when you boot up. After you run the command sh wlan0up the first time, THEN plug it in. See if that helps.

I have a virgin cd of backtrack v2 final.
I added 3 modules from version 25th june 2007.

My steps :
(unplug)
ls
cd rtl8187_linux_26.1010.0622.2006
make
sh wlan0up

wlan0 : ERROR while getting interface flags : No such device

(plug in)
(waiting 40 sec)
sh wlan0up

airmon-ng start wlan0
aireplay-ng -9 wlan0

iwconfig wlan0 channel 11 (there is 1 AP on this channel)
aireplay-ng -9 wlan0
...
injection is working
...
27/30 90%

I m not with Vmware. I booted backtrack from a cd. I'm on a latop centrino.

Sorry for my english

EDIT : I deleted my previous post

EDIT2 : I try again my steps and i have 0/30 0% with 1 AP. I don't understand it

EDIT4 : and now, it works... I don't inderstand (i have a .xor)

[pilotsnipes]

It's OK that you're not using VMWARE, as long as you started with a fresh BT2 ISO.

It is pointless trying the aireplay-ng -9 command UNLESS you alfa is on the same channel as your AP.

Ie. If your access point is on channel 11, you have to force your alfa to channel 11 by using

airmon-ng start wlan0 11

Then try

aireplay-ng -9 wlan0


A video is coming soon.

[pilotsnipes]

OK, Here's a video for you all to watch as to how I get my alfa working. And it also shows the injection test (personally I think is a bit of a waste of time) working.

Uses Divx5 if anyone has problems viewing it.

[wil007]

Thanks for the video.

I note differences with my screen. First, i haven't "wep.txt" when you use -ls.
Then, when i write "sh wlan" into the directory, i have this message :
sh: wlan: no such file or directory

I try with the 2 latest version (26th and 25th June).
Have I the good cd.iso ? I put les 3 extracted files into BT/modules.
I use ultraiso.
I'm sure i have the good virgin Bt2final.iso (good md5)

I do the mds for my 2 cd :
(stable : 25th June)

EDIT : i haven"t 30/30 but 25, 27 or 28

[pilotsnipes]

Ignore my wep.txt that was just something I had typed in earlier before I made the video.

Also it should be sh wlan0up not sh wlan (Watch the video again... it was me pressing [TAB] that makes it look like I pressed enter. All you need is sh wlan0up)
