Cracking WEP encryption using Backtrack!

WEP(Wired Equivalent Piracy) is one of the most commonly used wireless networks. This post is important for those who've wireless-enabled modems... U can see how easy it is to decrypt a WEP key... And after reading this post, the first thing you've to do is to disable Wireless mode whenever its not in use... This post s also helpful for ECE n IT guys of our coll... They're in the same building with us, CSE, but still, whenever they open their laptops, they see a password protected wireless network connection installed by our seniors, for us, to download torrents... :P
Am not goin to explain how to do it coz its so common... Just google the title of the post and u'll get all necessary info...(If you feel lazy to google, check this video or this site...) By following the steps, we can exploit any wireless network secured by WEP. Even WPA is cracked... But mostly, for BSNL connections, its WEP...
One more highlight with backtrack is, "macchanger" tool... MAC address, which is supposed to be unique and unchangeable, can also be altered by this tool. Similarly, IPchangers are also available to alter ur IP address...
