PSP homebrew - AirCrack-PSP test 0.52

Ó


QJ.NET reader Clippy165 has informed us that homebrew dev Gaby_64 has let loose a new test release for AirCrack-PSP. This app is a PSP port of DSaircrack, which itself is a port of the WEP/WPA-PSK key cracking program Aircrack-ng. Here's Gaby_64's explanation:

This is not an actual port of the aircrack-ng, this is a port of DSaircrack to PSP (Well actually now it is) . But this will not just consist of cracking the cap file but also finding an AP, dumping packets in a cap file then decrypt it!


Currently its in testing. The decrypting part doesnt work right now (I used the DS aircrack source for that), I will later on in the next release opt for the original aircrack function


And here's the changelog for test 0.52:

NEW:

  • Lots of bug fixes [1 bug left, look at the warning]
  • WEP ptw attack function [It works and its fast]
  • Small file selector [WARNING: Files shorter then 9 characters will not appear]

OLD:

  • A Primitive GUI
  • Ap detection and selector (select witch AP to crack and see its info(security type, ssid, etc))

REMOVED:

  • the DS attack function (got replaced with one that works)

this app sounds amazing!!! getting wifi just about ANYWHERE!!! i hope this app can become better

i didnt know an app like this existed...

thx Gaby_64

But does it work? What's the success rate of this app?

awsome keep it up!!!

awsome? this app doesnt do anything

I smell a fake. Selecting 'scan' makes the wifi light turn on and stay on, but nothing else. You can't stop scanning, you never get results, you can't switch to a different menu option; you can't even quit using the Home menu.



The 'Exit' option says "Exit this fabulous application that was made by the one and only Gaby_64. Oh and im not responsible for any damage caused by this application in any way."



Yeah, I'll pass, thanks.

by GLO13AL_T3RROR - 2009-01-29 12:23
» lol.

dude i was waiting for these kinda application for a long time....and now it made me realize tht it is possible. even though it can't decrypt it as of now.

by Don Slamo - 2009-01-29 12:27
» it is ok

i got the ssid of the internet now i need to capture it but it doesn't work. It would be very helpful if this came with controlls

by haxor - 2009-01-29 12:55
» its good but...

its a good concept but i dont see the point releasing this app when it can only scan... half the time you dunnow if its even scanning or not



if this gets any decrypting capabilities that let me access any WEP connection then this will be on of the greatest hombrew apps of all time... it sucks atm though lol

» if its real..

get it working!!!

by eynstyne - 2009-01-29 13:44
» May work, but not well...

With regular wireless G, collecting approx. 100,000 IVs from 80% - 100% signal is still time consuming. PSP with wireless b, well... you'd be waiting longer than an hour to collect IVs and you practically have to be so close to the AP.



Many networks in which people want to crack WEP/WPA (especially downtown) usually do not have a good enough signal. This makes the collection process even longer than 1 hour or 2.



I have not tried this app simply for one reason, I do not believe that this will be fast and usable. Just load up ubuntu 8.10 linux and install aircrack-ng to get the results faster. Then punch in the WEP key on your PSP.

this is illegal

by derrek_lee_25 - 2009-01-29 14:20
» again

it may crack some WEPs but some people like us have it so if you manage to crack the wep you still need to actually be there and manually enter the MAC address from the psp to the router

by m3rox - 2009-01-29 14:35

It's not illegal. What you choose to do with it is what can be determined as legal or illegal.

by _lainlives_ - 2009-01-29 15:25
» wut

select network works fine for me, you hold SQUARE on teh network you want, but it cant capture packets, which makes it useless

by DJKMan - 2009-01-29 15:29
» Holy!! O_O

That was quicker than expected. lol This wasn't supposed to be announced yet as it is still in its early beta stage.



Anyway, I will write a short guide on how to use it. It will be optimized once he gets the capturing complete.



If you have any questions feel free to ask in the forum via the source in this article. :)

"you hold SQUARE on teh network you want"



It never detects any networks at all for me.

detects for me, bust still, useless app is useless if it cant capture packets

by WiiRolled - 2009-01-29 17:41
» Yes

Believe me, Aircrack DOES work.

You can test the PC version of it

by dragon92 - 2009-01-29 20:31
» ...

Well,basically, what it does now is to scan for access points in your area.It cannot crack passwords since packet capturing is not yet implemented in the program.Let's hope that soon enough we may have wireless wherever we are in the big city!

» laws do not apply

agree. the government makes the laws, but these laws does not apply to the possibilities.



this is why in this world, nothing is perfect. prerfection itself, is something impossible.

by RSX46 - 2009-01-30 05:18
» Awesome!

I can't wait till they get this working! I have a bunch of wireless networks around where I live but they are all locked down. Soon maybe I can get on the net with my psp at the house or anywhere for that matter!



Thanks!



Keep up the work...



PSP lives!!!!!

» @derrek_lee_25

Please get rid of that MAC filter, it just makes it appear more secure to you. It's not just easy to bypass those filters, everyone (n00bs excluded) who hack networks use dummy MAC or stolen MAC from a legit computer on the WLAN.

That means MAC filters are useless.



You should, on the other hand, use WPA instead, which is a WORKING level of security.

by KingPepper - 2009-01-30 09:18
» Doh.....

Why do you think these networks are locked down, to stop thieving bastards using there Internet connection, how would you like it, if someone cracked yours and connected to play Online Games, when may well play in a Clan yourself, and the C**T, disconnects you in the middle of a important match, you would be pretty Pissed, don't you think.

by GLO13AL_T3RROR - 2009-01-30 10:44
» ..........

KingPepper; it isn't abt thieving if you look on the otherside like if you are at school you can use yo psp to get online and surf during boring periods. Beside i bet if a working cracker is gonna be release you'll probably gonna use it.

by TPot - 2009-01-30 10:55
» @Djhg2000

Still doesn't hurt to have the mac filter on.

» PTW works

the cracking part works, i cracked my 64bit wep key in 6seconds with 80,000 IV's. i dumped the IV's with backtrack3 and a wusb54g v4.

by earwaxpeach - 2009-01-30 15:01
» LOL

This is too funny guys , ok listen up - the PSP does not support packet injection so this wont ever work



To crack WPA and WEP successfully you need a good WiFI card that can go into promiscuous mode and also supports packet injection such an Atheros chipset - on top of that the psp could not handle multiple threads since the card cant go into promiscuous mode so you could not do a fake auth with the ESSID and also monitor for unique IV's



Basicly dont waste your time with this application and expect to be able to hack WiFi on the go with your psp because it's not going to work unless your going to bring some pcap dumps to crack while your on the road from another wireless device that can actually go into monitor mode unlike the PSP



Im sure the developer of this is working on it with good intentions (mabey not...) but trust me , there is no way a psp could hack a ESSID even with basic 64bit WEP encryption - the psp is just too limited



If you want to do this for real just get a laptop / atheros PCI card , download backtrack V3 final and learn some linux commands and how to use the Aircrack-NG suite because thats the only way your going to gain access to AP's and it usualy takes a while if your waiting on an ARP request from a connected client or deauth attacks



Anyways even Chopchop attack and bruteforce take a while so dont get your hopes up people



Yes you can hack WEP and WPA-



The PSP is too limited with its network capability tho



And yes it takes time to hack an AP unless your hacking a old unpatched router that will be more vulnerable



And remember this - some AP's cant be hacked even if there using WEP - it all depends on the router's vulnerability's and your ability to find ways around it

» HURRY UP!!!!

Hurry up and update it again so that we can start breaking into wireless access points!!!! Stop releasing crappy test programs that cant even do what it was originally designed for!!!

» meh

the psp uses a Marvell chipset and aircracks site says that Marvell chipsets arent tested but arent confirmed to not work, so lets cross our fingers and hope he can get airodump to work on psp. if not oh well at least he tried, also the iphone had aircrack so mabey so will the psp.



be optimistic man

by Strongbadunit2 - 2009-01-30 17:33
» grr

I don't really know what I'm talking about but from a quick google I can see that Marvell is not supported by aircrack you can see here:



http://aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id+troubleshooting



I'm not sure what this really means but I'm sure the coder has thought it all through and at least checked that out.

by earwaxpeach - 2009-01-30 17:43

Read my above ^post



I do know what im talking about and the psp wont ever be able to crack WiFI



The creator of this program might know how to port a code from DS to PSP but as of yet it's useless and it probably will be forever - this is nothing more then a WiFi sniffer that the psp allready has capability of doing with regular firmware



Even if you managed to somehow capture packets , you cant actually launch an attack against an AP and also capture the IV's at the same time , not only that but you would have to be 50 feet or less from the AP to inject since the PSP's wifi is so limited compared to a real enthusiast WiFi card in terms of dBi



And if the creator of this program manages to create some way of capturing the unique IV's and saving them to a cap file it would take HOURS upon HOURS of sitting there waiting for 50,000 IV's to crack the WEP - possibly you would need more and normal network traffic will only generate about 1k per day of a person's normal use



So if anyone here actually has a vaild counter argument against what im saying post and let me know because im here to tell you - anyone who believes this will actually work is being entirely too optimistic and unreal



It wont work-

by DJKMan - 2009-01-30 18:31
» but...

It's worth a shot. Everyone kept saying Windows 95 on the PSP was impossible but it was proven.

by GLO13AL_T3RROR - 2009-01-31 05:19
» ....

and what about the iphone???? i got a wep cracker for my iphone.

by GLO13AL_T3RROR - 2009-01-31 05:21

alright dude....you win as of now but we'll see how this homebrew is gonna go far.

if a ds can do it im pretty sure a psp can your talking a cpu of 75

vs 333 and that's a big differences

Rofl - next time read everyone's comments before you post



It has nothing to do with processor power , a game bow advance has enough processor power to run a command line , the problem is the VERY limited wireless capability - Read everything i posted then reply with a intelligent comment.

by DJKMan - 2009-01-31 19:09
» Freeplay...

Weren't you the one that said a Nintendo 64 emulator on the psp was impossible?



Anyway, Gaby_64 mentioned in his readme that this is currently only a Wifisniffer with WEP cracker capabilities (provided you have created the file on the computer).



Just note that this release was tipped by a user and not by Gaby_64 himself saying "Look! here's what I got!"



Please stop flaming everyone's release every time you see a beta. :/

by b2dub2 - 2009-02-01 09:58
» Who cares

If dude is willing to TRY to get this thing up and running, let him. Hell, support him! Great job thus far, really looking forward to newer version.

by inferbo564 - 2009-02-01 13:32
» ya but think about it

do nds have more networking power?

by inferbo564 - 2009-02-01 13:36
» not only that but

iv never played of a game bow advance lol spelling


by DJKMan - 2009-02-01 13:52
» Actually...

it has nothing to do with power or speed (or well sort of but not CPU speed). It has to do with the wifi card being capable of what the developer is trying to achieve. :)

by DJKMan - 2009-02-01 14:15
» Well...

This does have some cracking capabilities as I explained above. It can find the WEP key provided you have created the cap file yourself on a computer. The only thing left is to capture and save. That's where it gets tricky.

by DJKMan - 2009-02-02 11:44
» SolidSnake

No offense but that attitude is exactly why developers end up not caring much for the psp anymore. When there's so many people with that kind of attitude, it just becomes pointless.



Give him some space.



Keep in mind that this was tipped by a user and not from the developer himself.

by DJKMan - 2009-02-02 11:56
» I'm glad you're excited as much as I am. :D

This release was actually leaked to be more accurate.



Currently, it CAN decrypt and find the WEP key provided you have created a cap file. It doesn't capture at the moment. :)

» Your Attitude, SolidSnake117

Dude, your attitude sucks. I couldn't agree more with the comment posted by DJKMan. Bad attitude is one of the many reasons why devs quit on creating psp homebrews. Mr. SolidSnake117, you DO NOT deserve to be presented with this homebrew, or any other homebrews out there!

by jbaek - 2009-02-05 20:29
» Petition to ban any homebrew downloads to SolidSnake117

You don't call people a retard just because they couldn't find the control! SolidSnake117, you should be extremely ashamed of yourself. You do not deserve this fantastic homebrew.
