Wardriving Documentary

EDIT: I know that the information in this video is now outdated. I produced it in November 2005, a time when many devices did not yet support WPA. Kismet was around, but ridiculously hard to use (I couldn't even get the live CD version to work on my laptop at the time). Keep that in mind as you watch this and post comments.

This was the final project for Production and Editing II. We were to produce either a narrative or documentary piece on a subject of our choosing, which had to be pitched to the class and approved my the instructor.

the BEST type of network security is to enable a MAC filter, so only a select few, pre-determined MAC addresses can connect to the Wireless Access Point.

[seinman]

A MAC filter by itself is actually largely useless. It's much easier to clone the MAC address of an authorized machine than it is to crack modern encryption. If you're using MAC filtering in addition to encryption, especially WPA, it's a nice added protection. If you rely on MAC filtering only though, you're just asking for a break-in.

how did you plot the AP's in streets & tips?

[seinman]

It's actually fairly complicated. First, you have to export the data from netstumbler in CSV format. Then, the + and - readings for latitude/longitude need to be converted to N and W (if you're in North America, that is) by a simple find/replace in the text editing application of your choice. Then, in Streets and Trips, you can import that CSV file.

[seinman]

You have to do it once for encrypted and once for open APs, if you want each to have a different icon. Then, the blue line was just the standard line it creates if you have GPS activated while driving around. I used a COM port splitting program to send the GPS data to both NS and S&T.

At the time that we filmed this, everyone involved did have a girlfriend. Just because you're in a relationship doesn't mean you have to give up your hobbies. Unless you're whipped, I guess.

Yes....yes ppl plz!!!! Use wep! ;)

[Fridelain]

@ross817 You can deauthenticate the legit user (aireplay-ng mon0 --deauth=0 -e "some_essid" -a 00:00:AA:00:00:00 -c 00:00:BB:00:00:00), login, login to the router, add an exception for other MAC (possibly a fake one), and then use that one. It takes one minute, so can go unnoticed.

Wardriving is just great. I stil have my old orinoco card & ubiquiti src with 24 dBi antenna... good times :)

@Mentalikryst

You know nothing about wardriving, do you?

It dosent matter how fast or strong your computer is, you cant just "crack" wep, because you have a 5768976546786546754 Teraflop CPU, you still need to capture packets. i can crack wep in 30 seconds on a pentium 700, (with clients connected using bandwith) and i can crack wpa in 10 mins.

Nvidia CUDA would just make my processing faster. (rainbowtables, ect.)

[ross817]

@seinman But you can't spoof the MAC address of something that's already connected, can you?

I mean, you can use something like aircrack to send packets in their name, but you can't connect to their WiFi, or anything.

[wtfareuserious]

realistically, if you ever get caught wardriving you are a fucking retard,
