Hello,
I'm been unable to decrypt WEP packets for a WEP network I've setup. This
is my first attempt at doing this so I must be doing something wrong. I'm
using Cisco 7921 phones connecting to Cisco APs/WLCs. I think my big
mistake was using an ASCII passphrase instead of just a HEX value. I've run
my passphrase though ASCII to HEX converters who's HEX value works to
decrypt the same captures in OmniPeek 6.5. Any advise would be greatly
appreciated.
I'm using an AirPcap multi-channel adapter to capture with the following
options.
Multi-Channel Aggregator with 1 NIC on CH1 and 1 NIC on CH11
Capture Type: 802.11 + Radio
Include 802.11 FCS in Frames: Enabled
FCS Filter: All Frames
I've tested with Wireshark for Mac 1.4.0, 1.4.3 and for Windows 1.4.3. I
think I've tried every combination of the following options with no luck. I
never get a second tab of the decrypted packets and the Protocol column only
shows 802.11 and some LLC.
Wireshark Options:
802.11 Radiotap: Enabled, Disabled
IEEE 802.11
Ignore vendor-specific HT elements: Enabled, Disabled
Assume packets have FCS: Enabled, Disabled
Ignore the Protection bit: No, w/o IV, w/ IV
Key #1: 26 HEX value
26 HEX value with : separators
wep:26 HEX value
These options I've always left on.
IEEE 802.11
Reassemble fragmented 802.11 datagrams: Enabled
Call subdissector for retransmitted 802.11 frames: Enabled
Thanks in advance!
Marty
