Put a Password on Linksys WEFB11S4

Post by HotDog-Cart »

Hey guys. I need help adding a WEP onto my wireless on my homenetwork.

I type in 192.168.1.1

And it brings me to the linksys router page. I go to WEP, Select Manditory, but then it wants me to put in a passphrase and then generate 4 passkeys. What the hell is this?! xD

I just want to put my password as a word that I know, or a code that I know.

Someone helps please.

Don't use WEP. It sucks. You might as well leave your wireless wide open, since WEP can be cracked in under 5 minutes using freely available software.

How can you crack WEP in under 5 minutes? Please share!
If you're looking at this post and it was made before 2008, just ignore it.

You want to use WPA.

Doing this isn't a very good idea, no. Let's just say the system is inherently flawed and leave it at that. ;)

I'm sorta sure dicussing stuff like that isn't exactly legit, and we know how Ben feels about that. :wink:

Hmm, well I doubt anyone near my house knows how to crack WEP or knows where to get the program.

How do I WPA protect it? I want to use a passphrase rather than a random code. (Like EG: I want my password to be "chicken" instead of "92382hshdh")

Also, I've heard (In law class) that if someone connects to your router, and you dont want them connected, your allowed to do anything in your power to disconnect them. (Thus meaning: Connect to their PC, ping them, send a worm, etc)

Is that true? Bahahha. I kinda doubt that its true, but if it is.... Then I'm on the HUNT! HUUGGEEE FIRETRUCK!

Use WPA2 Enterprise.
'der 'aint 'nutin get'n passed that shiz!

Anyway, just select WPA Personal and type whatever you want and click Save. It lets me do this on dd-wrt anyway...Did you consider 3rd party firmwares?
I could still crack WPA in a few minutes using Backtrack 3...but I'm sure your neighbors aren't that smart anyway.

Oh and I caught my neighbor on my WiFi today, unfortunately he disconnected before I could do anything (I pinged and all I got was a timeout) Nuts...
