WPA networks have a vulnerability for packet injection. We are performing a test
using Gerix WI-Fi cracker on a live backrack operating system run from a bootable
USB flash drive.
Once the computer is on, the first step is to open the Backtrack applications
menu, Backtrack - > Exploitation instruments - > Wireless exploitation - > WLAN
Exploitation after which we find gerix-Wi-Fi-saltine ng. clicking on this will pop up a
graphical interface which we will utilize as shown below (Noh, Kim, Kwon, & Cho,
2016).
Go to the menu for configuration and choose the interface wlan0 then
Enable/Disable Monitor Mode to enable the monitor mode from managed mode. Now
Select the recently made mon0 interface.

Next tap on the WEP tab at the highest point of the window and then choose
"start sniffing and logging" and leave the terminal open (Ismukhamedova, Satimova,
Nikiforov, & Miloslavskaya, 2016). Once the wifi network we need to crack appears
we should select the WEP Attacks (with clients). The PWR number must be
sufficiently high to work so the closer we can get, the better.When the value is high,
tap on "Associate with AP using fake auth" then wait a couple of moments and tap on
"ARP ask for replay" (Sarkar, 2015).
