Hi Jason, this is bul*sh*t, sorry for that wording, but that is not true
and this expert should know it. Maybe he ment, that airsnort cannot do
it, but the problem of IV collision is still existing and working.
Aircrack is most advanced tool at the moment for wep key breaking. It
works very well and not depends on the limitations of airsnort. For me
about 500-700MB Data was enough an voila a WEP key comes out. No magic,
and this on all new systems i have testet.
Aireplay implements a way to force the produce of more traffic by
reinjecting traffic. (Same as BSD airtools reinj.c did way back).
And there is another one, named chopchop, it does not break the wep key
it just deciphers the wep encrypted data. This is an active attack
implementation and is working really well, this is also working in
key rotating environments, however the usability is sometimes not there.
Its not very fast (Around 11seconds for a single packet during my tests)
. But its the first version. And if you use some imagination you will
find out that "hey, i got cleartext and cypherstream....hmm...lets build
ne packets which i could inject". This idea is not implemented yet, but
a small patch and some perl would do the job.
Just a small note, the upcoming auditor security collection will contain
all the described tools, inclusive the patched drivers etc so it should
be easy for everyone to test it. But i need some more time to round the
release up, but next weeks should be the target.
Hope this helps you a bit and remember, client side attacks using
hotspotter is allways an option and wep dictionary attack is also possible.
Greetings
Max
