Hacking How to crack WiFi passwords with your Wii

[Schlupi]

So is there a way to crack wep codes too?

I would totally be on this... if I had a keyboard for my Wii.

Easy Wii Linux comes with a virtual keyboard installed, so you can operate it with just a wiimote. And it only takes 2 files to install it to your FAT16 sd card with no special formatting.

The wii wifi card can absolutely enter monitor mode, and I confirm it works. If you don't believe me try it for yourself before you question someone else's work.

even if it works, is Wii's CPU power is fast enough to crack a password.

Maybe if you use a PS3's CellBE processor, it will take less than a day to crack a WPA/WPA2 passphrase (WPA/WPA2 in hex is much easier to crack as it only use a-f characters and 0-9 in numerals). Or less than an hour if its WEP.

It's a broadcom chipset. Looks to me that it can enter monitor mode. I'm just having a bitch of a time getting X started. I keep getting errors while booting that pretty much read only. I'll have to dig into this a little deeper to figure it out.

You can't just use a PC to crack a Wifi password?

I'm wondering why Reaver wouldn't work? After all all Reaver requires is that your card be in monitor mode.

airmon-ng start wlan0
airodump-ng mon0
find someone's BSSID (ex. 00:01:02:03:04:05)
reaver -i mon0 -b 00:01:02:03:04:05
wait few hours
Passphrase + PIN are spit out.

you can grab Reaver from http://code.google.com/p/reaver-wps/
follow the project's readme to compile and use different options when running it.

I have not used Reaver on the wii, but rather on a backtrack distro. The creepy thing about WPS attacks is that some routers are still vulnerable even if WPS is tured off. I personnally used Reaver to test my router, took 3h to crack WPS (i used : reaver -i mon0 -b 00:01:02:03:04:05 -d 1) which attacked my router every 1 second, and PIN was found after 97% of the keys were tried. Luckily WPS really does turn off on my router, so i'm safe.

wheres the challange in using a pc
people have been doing it for years

You can't just use a PC to crack a Wifi password?

Yes, you can. But doing it on the wii makes you feel warm and fuzzy knowing that you can use it for even more things.

I personally barely use my wii. I've got my kids wii which is just used for watching videos, the wii in my living room for videos and games, and then my tech wii for all the stuff I test out and try.

Well I lost that bet.

I'm just trying to get EWL started and everything I try I still run into the same issue.

EDIT: ^^ I know it says Image Not Found for whatever stupid reason, but just click it and it will show up.
Anyone have a clue? I've done a fresh format to my SD card multiple times. I've tried as many things that I can think of.

This is my first time trying to get linux working on my wii.

Ok, so I've tried FAT, FAT32, different unit allocation sizes and nothing is working and I've followed the instructions exactly as stated.

The only other option is that my SD card is incompatible.... which I highly doubt because it works with everything else in the world, but I guess thats the last thing that I can rule out.

This is certainly starting to piss me off.

Keep your SD card formatted FAT/FAT16. FAT32 shouldnt work.
Did you extract the linux disk image and save it to a folder called linux on the root of your SD card?
Are you loading the kernel with the bootmii menu?
Can you post images of the output from earlier in the boot process?

 

[DeadlyFoez]

I figure out part of my problem. The wii that I was originally trying this with had my NAND and SD card activity light mod on it. When I tried it from my other normal wii then everything worked. I already knew that my SD/NAND activity light hack was drawing more power than what should have been used, but it never created any issues with any other apps. Aparently there is something with this EWL that is more sensitive than anything else that could be run from the wii.

I have still run into a few small issues, but it was mostly solves by using a different wii. I guess I need to adjust my PIC's code and add a resistor in between the signal of the SD card and my PIC and everything should work fine.

But this EWL is FAR from perfect. When I have gotten it to run, it brings me back to the days of when linux barely ran with 8-bit graphics. It kinda of reminds me Commander Keen and Hugo's House of Horrors.


Shit.. Commander Keen. I need to find the forgottenware for it again. That was a fun game.

Hey thanks for your tutorial works perfect in my Wii.
Now it's time to have fun

cd reaver
mkdir /etc/reaver
cp reaver.db /etc/reaver
cp walsh /usr/local/bin
ln -s /usr/local/bin/walsh /usr/bin/walsh
ln -s /usr/local/bin/reaver /usr/bin/reaver
rm *
cd ..
rmdir reaver

Usage: (Open Terminal)

I haven't had any success using this yet. I'm not sure if has to do with the Wii's WiFi card's limited speed, or if none of the access points I tried it on where vulnerable. Using the -vv option for very verbose output this is what I see.

reaver -i mon0 -vv -b XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

If you try it, and are successful please post your results.

[NoeMisaelJimenez]

Wow I didn't know the wii had linux. I'm downloading the linux file right now so in 30 minutes i'll see if it can hack wifi
