Cracking WEP

The video tutorial demonstrates how to use the Fern application to perform WEP attacks on wireless networks. It guides users through selecting a wireless LAN, scanning for access points, and executing a Wi-Fi attack. The tutorial explains the role of IVs in cracking passwords and how Fern automates the process, making it simple for users to retrieve passwords from WEP-enabled networks.

What is the primary purpose of the Fern application as discussed in the video?

• To manage network connections

• To perform wireless attacks

• To monitor data usage

• To enhance Wi-Fi speed

What is the first step in using Fern to attack a Wi-Fi network?

• Select the access point

• Press the Wi-Fi attack button

• Scan for access points

• Enter the network password

What does the application do after selecting an access point and initiating an attack?

• It disconnects the network

• It boosts the signal

• It collects IVs

• It changes the network name

What is an IV in the context of WEP attacks?

• A Wi-Fi frequency band

• A security software

• A 24-bit field used in key stream initialization

• A type of network protocol

How many IVs does the application need to collect before attempting to crack the password?

• 10,000

• 5,000

• 1,000

• 20,000
