Wireless Encryption - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Hello guys,
I want to see how secure my wireless network is for someone who is using a PPC, so I have been searching for any software that will allow me to crack my encryption but so far I have not managed to find anything. I have found a few software that crack encryptions both on Windows and Linux, but none on Windows Mobile.
Any of you know any software?
Thank you.

What a bizarre request If you've got a wireless network, set the router encryption to the strongest setting your PC's/PPC's will support and use the cracking tools on a Windows PC to test it. If you've got security and MAC filtering on the router, you're doing about the best you can anyway.
Trying to crack wireless security on a PPC is gonna be slow as - the Hermes only has a 400MHz processor, so it'll probably take four or five times (or more) longer to crack the security as it would if you did it on a desktop PC. The only software I know of that might work is MiniStumbler - kinda like the baby brother of NetStumbler, from http://www.netstumbler.org
My advice is this , give it up as a bad job, or make sure your PPC is permanently on charge coz the battery life will be crap with the WiFi on and packet capture/cracking tools running
Cheers,

Great Mark I will try and see what happens with the software you told me as soon as I get a chance. Thank you.
Anyone else who knows a different way.. is welcome to say

Download the backtrack ISO LiveCD and run it on a laptop or PC which has a supported wireless device. That LiveCD comes with a suite of wifi cracking apps which you can use to penetration test your wireless network if you thusly desire.
Doesn't work with many Acer laptops though due to something stupid with the Acer motherboard design (and guess what laptop I have! haha)

help disabled user reach full potential

I wonder if anybody could help me? What it is, is that I am disabled. My fingers are paralysed, and so working the intricate parts of the XDA is quite difficult. It is not impossible, but it is hard.
I also have several friends who are in the same situation as me. 12 months ago they were given xda 2 each for free. None of them have used them much because they are difficult to use, because they are stuck in their ways, and because I don't think they really realise the full potential of these little devices. It has took me 12 months to get hold of one of these, but just within a few days I'm quite bowled over with the potential.
So I wonder if somebody would be prepared to lead me through making the most of my XDA, with my disabilities, so I can also share this knowledge with the other disabled guys who also have this Pocket PC?
The first thing I want to do is set up the basic software, to maximise connectivity with my home network. I have already started this, and had some help in this direction on this forum, but I am still a bit stuck.
I have loaded this Pocket PC software onto my xda 2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=17410&highlight=jojo . I have windows XP on my desktop computer. This is hardwired to a 3Com wireless router. I have bought a SDIO wireless LAN card. When you install the software, it virtually sets its self up, the connection displays itself, you select it and have a choice between a Internet connection or a work connection. If I choose work, I am able to connect to the Internet and surf the Internet, but I am not able to do an active sync. I have gone into my start menu/settings/connections/network card/network adapters/socket WLAN SDIO V1 driver /name server and set the WINS to the IP address of the computer I want to connect to as somebody suggested to me, but it doesn't work. I also cannot see the other shared directories on my computer's on the network. (I do have Norton security on, but I have tried these with Norton security disabled.)
Can anyone make a suggestion?
Thanks in anticipation, funny keyboard.

how to use the universal as a WIFI modem?

i would like to use my universal as a WIFI card when its connected to my laptop. Though my laptop has a built-in wireless card, there are times when my universal can pick up a signal and stay on it while the laptop cant.
as such, is there any possobility to link up the universal to the laptop and allow it to fuction as a WIFI card for the laptop?
are there any instructions on this? appreciate any and every help that i can get on this. thanks
For that either your laptop would need to connect to the Exec through BT dial up, or the Exec would need to act as an Access Point plus Bridge. Not very likely to happen. BT is very slow, so I'd think you should scrap that idea.
I am surprised to hear that your laptop has an even worse WiFi antenna than the Exec. I thought this was already the worst possible... My old iPAQ 6315 has a much better reception.
Humm, I'm not sure. I went to a microsoft confrence on mobility and the new features of Windows Mobile 5 a few months (year or so?) back, and asked this exact question. I was told that it's impossible, the operating system simply doesn't do that- something about the fact that it deals with the phone part very differently from the way it deals with the wifi part.
...maybe you should go give a hand on the linux port?
i am surprised too that my laptop has worst wifi connection than my exec but this is only applicable when i am in school. in public areas, connections on my laptop are pretty good and stable.
i wish i could help with the linux but i am not sure how to even start coz i am not a programmer. what would be required of me?

Cracking WEP or WPA On Your Pocket PC

I've actually been looking for such a solution on Windows Mobile based devices for quite a while, but unfortunately have not been successful.
Does anyone know of some solutions for this?
What i plan on doing:
-Being able to log packets (By saving them)
-Decrypting these packets (On the PDA or For a PC To decrypt)
Please and thank you.
i looked for quite a while on doing this. There was one program that would do it, but it didn't like the wireless nic.
I'm not into the programming or fabricating of things for PPC's but someone should look into BackTrack 2.0 (linux distro).
It's got a bunch of built-in packet sniffing and decrypting software. Takes a while (because you need to capture SOOOO many packets) but it works wonders. I had all my neighbors WEP keys within a weekend.
erm.. if it took you a weekend to break wep.. you weren't doing it right. With the tools on backtrack and a windows machine I can crack wep in 10-15 minutes.
In any event, I haven't found a tool for the PPC that can do either step of the cracking process (other than just flipping the switch on and off a lot to keep the router pulsing those oh so easy to crack auth packets). Sorry man. Also, chances are, to do either step would very quickly run the battery on these devices into the dirt.

Yeah it only took about 20-30 minutes for each network but I DO have a life... And there were 5 or 6 of them.

Pocket Wifi Retina doesn't seem to work with our wireless chipset. When trying to run it I get: "Can not load device driver. If the wireless configuration utility is running, please shut it down."
Someone knows another app like retinawireless with dicctionary file for bruteforcing that runs on the athena?
I found a nice thread on this that might come in handy:
http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/wireless/networks/archives/wifi-tools-for-your-pda-15387
so far the best bet seems to be useing http://www.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=1&platformId=1&productId=66742#description7
(torrent it) to get the hashes.
I'm buliding a little something with my port.HD to interface it with my pda via bluetooth anyways, and now running tables on it seems fun...
any new apps since 2008?
just for italian developpers

Reverse Tethering

I want to set up my Windows 7 system as an access point (ad hoc, I suppose) so that I can connect my tablet via wifi and use the Window system's network access.
I used the ad hoc network wizard, but the tablet could not see it, and could not be force it to hook up.
Has anyone been successful at this?
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App
i dun know but i hope u will have the way to do this
I was just working on this the other night, so I'll answer your question and pose a second.
Go grab the 'Connectify' program. That'll make the setup a snap.
Here's the problem, though.... Hoping some of the keen XDA minds might be able to help. The 'SoftAP' that windows 7 has built in will ONLY set itself up with WPA2 security. This makes it teasingly close to allowing Nintendo DS and PSP connections since it's setting itself up as an Infrastructure Access point, but only with security too strong for those platforms.
Does anyone here have an Idea of how to force/hack Win7 to use a lower form of security like WPA or WEP?
Would love to get an answer to above users question

Once i was blind, now i can see !
Thank you for this, i had problems with 3g at my work, now i have wifi!
After some additional research, I found out that this WPA2 'lock' is actually a part of the Win7 certification for a given WiFi device.
This would seem to indicate that it would be either part of the driver or hard-coded into the device itself.
A driver seems like it could be something that'd be edited to be more pliable with regards to Wifi protection, but if it's hard-coded, we're likely screwed.
Any info pertaining to using Windows XP Pro with any of this. I run on Revol Wireless with my Hero200,I flashed the phone to their network so I dont have full network access. Anyways...I'm trying to reverse tether at home to use the net on my phone where my network is connected through my desktop pc. I'm running a Dell Dimension 4600 with XP Pro strictly as my DEV computer. This comp only gets Android crap on it all the time. A few windows things here and there but I need the windows programs for the android stuff so...Any help is VERY greatly appreciated guys!

dude...you will have stability problems and protocols relevent issues on using connectify
some times u'll get blue screen errors too.
So,after googling a lot i hav found "mhotspot" we dont even need to install the software,but it creates a virtual access point and enables wifiinternet sharing
working great..

[Q] Windows 8 CP Wifi not working on College Campus

Hello,
I am on an HP Folio 13-1020us running the Windows 8 Consumer Preview 64 Bit. The Wifi can see the networks but it cannot connect to the schools network. I can connect off campus just fine, and I can connect without any trouble in Windows 7
This is very inconvenient for me, but its more difficult to handle considering my friends old Sony laptop has been able to successfully connect through wifi, so I know that it is not because "its just beta"
I am at Western Oregon University, where we use a WEP2 network. I have been to our IT guy and he patched me through as an exception, so theres no problem on the network end.
So far I think I have honestly read every single forum and answer to this, on campuses or not. Please if anyone has any ideas that would be great! But please don't list "Try uninstalling then reinstalling drivers, or updating them" I have the absolute latest drivers to all the components so far.
I have also tried to try the disable Mini Virtual Wifi Port, or whatever it is named, but it does not show up in my networking list.
Thank you very much!
Does your campus have an unsecured guest network? try that if it does.

No it does not but I tried at a Starbucks. No problem whatsoever. and tried with my phone. Also working but not reliable enough on the phone end to use full time
Double-check with your college's IT department and see if they blacklist/whitelist operating systems. Could be Windows 8 CP is getting blocked by the internet security.

Thats what I thought as well, but my friends laptop works on wifi on windows 8
Did you ever figure this out? I'm considering upgrading to Windows 8 here at BYU but we use Cisco and if my WiFi isn't going to work I can't upgrade.
