[BAT] OpenBSD 3.0 + smc 2632w + dwepdump

Tue, 2 Apr 2002 07:06:21 -0800

Is there a way to set the card to listen to all channels when in monitor
mode? It seems to effectively do this when using dstumbler, but it would be
nice to be able to do it for cracking groups of nodes which share an SSID.
In other words, it would be cool if dwepdump had a mode where it scanned all
channels and recorded stuff from a specified SSID. If the scanning all
channels thing is possible now without using dstumbler, could someone
explain how? Thanks.

I already talked to dmuz (Josha Bronson) about this on irc, the problem was
that he wasn't setting the card into monitor mode. For everyone else out
there that skim through the README and webpage, you should do the following
when running dwepdump:

ifconfig wi0 up   # make sure your network card is up (should be assumed)

# optional stuff if you want to restrict the channel you listen on
# also makes it so your card doesnąt send out probe requests (stealth)
wicontrol wi0 -p 3   # set card into adhoc mode
wicontrol wi0 -f <channel>   # set channel to listen on

prism2ctl wi0 -m   # you must set the card into monitor mode

Cheers,
