Cracking WEP with BackTrack Mind Map – With Client

Published on May 21, 2008 in Certifications, General Items, General Security, Hacking Tools, Mind Mapping and Mind Maps. 4 Comments Tags: backtrack, wep.

I have just uploaded a Mind Map that I created that shows you how to crack WEP 64bit and 128bit using BackTrack version 3.

I regularly use BackTrack 3 as part of my penetration testing toolkit. I have a dedicated laptop built with BackTrack version 3 and use the various command line tools as part of my testing methodology.

This Mind Map shows you how to use the aircrack suite of tools that is included in BackTrack 3. With these tools you are able to crack a wireless WEP key in a few minutes.

I have had great success with this method and a 100% record of recovering the WEP key when asked to perform this for a client as part of a wireless assessment. I have managed to crack both 64bit and 128bit WEP for customers.

This Mind Map covers cracking WEP when a client is connected to the network. I will also be doing another Mind Map where there are no attached clients.

Obviously this tool and methodology can only be used on access points that you have the ownership, or permission to carry out such a test.

Again, please comment on this post to let me know your thoughts.

CISSP Mind Map – Cryptography

Published on May 21, 2008 in Certifications, CISSP, General Items, Mind Mapping and Mind Maps. 9 Comments Tags: CISSP, Cryptography.

After too long a break, we have uploaded the 5th installment of our CISSP Mind Maps, the CISSP Mind Map for Cryptography.

This Mind Map covers the basics of Cryptography and provides information on the cryptographic algorithms you need to know in order to achieve success in this CISSP Module.

Asymmetric and Symmetric cryptographic algorithms are explained and examples of each are given in order to help the student.

Again, all of this is presented in the Mind Map format which has been created in MindJet Mind Manager.

Download the Mind Map directly from this link.

I am back..

Sorry for the lack of posts but I intend to submit the PDFs of the remaining CISSP and CEH Mind Maps as well as some other cool ones I have such as how to crack WEP with BackTrack and some other BackTrack specific Mind Maps.
