The latest Knoppix-STD has a bunch of wireless stuff on it. I haven't
used it but that might be a good way to go if you're wanting to get some
experience. There's a lot more stuff for Linux that Windows 'cuz it
seems the developers have a better time addressing the hardware with
Linux.
If you can see the network with NetStumbler, then using something like
Kismet isn't gonna help you "find" it. Kismet would however give you
the ability to see the traffic. You can tell from that if it's
encrypted or not. You can also collect MAC addresses to get an idea for
how many machines are on the network and possibly even the makeup of the
hardware by looking up the MAC addresses. You can also get a good idea
for how much traffic there is on the WLAN.
Once you've collected some traffic you might find some interesting info
if you run strings against the raw dump files. You'll need to use grep
to cut out a bunch of repeating data like SSIDs, etc. Use something
like 'strings filename.dump | grep -v SSID | less'.
I believe Airsnort is on that knew knoppix-std CD also.

Subject: Wireless wep crackin on windows
Hi all,
one of my clients want to see how secure is his wireless network, so had
asked me to try to enter his wlan.
I've never done wireless pentesting before, so I'm here to ask ^_______^
I'm basically using a windows machine, and i've already used netstumbler
with my centrino wireless card to enumerate wlan networks, and with a
gps
receiver I can locate them on a map. I know there are many tools on
linux
for wep cracking, just like airsnort and others, but since I have little
experience with linux OS, and I've to do this work in a few days, I'm
searching for a wep cracker that can run on windows xp. Is there any
one?
Google did not help me ^_______^
Thanks in advance,
