edit Tips

Pay special attention to the Encryptation of the network, it must be WEP not WPA. PC + LAN Infrared Control Control your PC with an IR Remote Control A/V via PC / LAN / WLAN

It is better to crack a network with good signal because if not, it could be imposible to do it. Sometimes the #Data needed is superior to 30000 packets. Sometimes 1000000 packets are necessesary to crack the key. To know if your computer possesses the chipset IPW3945 you can execute the command ipconfig /all in Windows' MS-DOS. You have to look for Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection. In other operating systems like Linuxbased ones, you can download programs like hardinfo to obtain a complete list of the hardware of your computer, where it would be included the chipset of your NIC. This chipset is very common on laptops. If attack 2 (when you press number 2) don't succeed, you have to try again later or crack another network. Sometimes the catch of Data starts in an hour or maybe never. You could try later, rebooting the computer or changing the location of your computer. When you introduce the keys on Windows you should introduce ASCII key (the second one). You can introduce the HEX key (the first one) but without the :. If you obtain only one key take note of it and introduce it in Windows without the :, if any. Wifislax could be incompatible with some computers or need configuring to work on graphics mode. The liveCD of Wifislax sometimes crashes or doesn't recognize the injection interfaces. The solution to this is rebooting the operating system.

edit Warnings

Cracking a network without permission is completely illegal in all countries I know. This tutorial was made in order to check the security of WEP keys.
