Time for action – cracking WEP

Follow these instructions to get started:

1. Let's first bring up our rogue access point using airbase-ng and give it the ESSID Rogue:

   

2. We now want to create a bridge between the Ethernet interface, which is part of the authorized network, and our rogue access point interface. To do this, we will first install bridge-utils files, create a bridge interface, and name it Wifi-Bridge. The following screenshot shows the required commands in action:

   apt-get install bridge-utils
   brctl addbr Wifi-Bridge

   Let's see the following output of the command:

   

3. We will then add both the Ethernet and the At0 virtual interface created by Airbase-ng to this bridge:

   brctl addif Wifi-Bridge eth0
   brctl addif Wifi-Bridge ath0

   The screenshot of the command as follows:

   

4. We will then bring with these interfaces up to bring the bridge up with the following commands:

   ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up
   ifconfig ath0 0.0.0.0 up

   The screenshot of the command as follows:

   

5. We will then enable IP forwarding in the kernel...
