 Easside-ng is an auto-magic tool which allows you to communicate via an WEP-encrypted access point (AP) without knowing the WEP key.  It first identifies a network, then proceeds to associate with it, obtain PRGA (pseudo random generation algorithm) xor data, determine the network IP scheme and then setup a TAP interface so that you can communicate with the AP without requiring the WEP key.  All this is done without your intervention. Easside-ng is an auto-magic tool which allows you to communicate via an WEP-encrypted access point (AP) without knowing the WEP key.  It first identifies a network, then proceeds to associate with it, obtain PRGA (pseudo random generation algorithm) xor data, determine the network IP scheme and then setup a TAP interface so that you can communicate with the AP without requiring the WEP key.  All this is done without your intervention.
  
-There are two primary papers "The Fragmentation Attack in Practice"  by Andrea Bittau and "The Final Nail in WEP's Coffin" by Andrea Bittau, Mark Handley and Josua Lockey which are of interest.  See the the [[http://aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=links|links page]] for these papers and more.  The papers referenced provide excellent background information if you would like to understand the underlying methodologies.  The concepts for the fragment attack currently incorporated in aircrack-ng came from these papers.+There are two primary papers "The Fragmentation Attack in Practice"  by Andrea Bittau and "The Final Nail in WEP's Coffin" by Andrea Bittau, Mark Handley and Josua Lockey which are of interest.  See the the [[links|links page]] for these papers and more.  The papers referenced provide excellent background information if you would like to understand the underlying methodologies.  The concepts for the fragment attack currently incorporated in aircrack-ng came from these papers.
  
 In order to access the wireless network without knowing the WEP key is done by having the AP itself decrypt the packets.  This is achieved having a "buddy" process running on a server accessible on the Internet.  This "buddy" server echoes back the decrypted packets to the system running easside-ng.  This imposes a number of critical requirements for easside-ng to work: In order to access the wireless network without knowing the WEP key is done by having the AP itself decrypt the packets.  This is achieved having a "buddy" process running on a server accessible on the Internet.  This "buddy" server echoes back the decrypted packets to the system running easside-ng.  This imposes a number of critical requirements for easside-ng to work:

   - After sniffing a single data packet, it proceeds to discover at least 1504 bytes of PRGA by sending out larger broadcasts and intercepting the relayed packets.  This is what is known as the fragmentation attack.  The PRGA is written to the prga.log file.   - After sniffing a single data packet, it proceeds to discover at least 1504 bytes of PRGA by sending out larger broadcasts and intercepting the relayed packets.  This is what is known as the fragmentation attack.  The PRGA is written to the prga.log file.
-  - It then decrypts the IP network by guessing the next three bytes of PRGA using multicast frames and the linear keystream expansion technique.  By decrypting the ARP request, the network number scheme can be determined.  This is used to build the ARP request which is used for subsequent injection.  Easside-ng can also use an IP packet to determine the IP network as well, it just takes a bit longer.+  - It then decrypts the IP network by guessing the next four bytes of PRGA using multicast frames and the linear keystream expansion technique.  By decrypting the ARP request, the network number scheme can be determined.  This is used to build the ARP request which is used for subsequent injection.  Easside-ng can also use an IP packet to determine the IP network as well, it just takes a bit longer.

 Basically, the program obtains a small amount of keying material from the packet then attempts to send packets with known content to the access point (AP).  If the packet is successfully echoed back by the AP then a larger amount of keying information can be obtained from the returned packet.  This cycle is repeated several times until 1504 bytes of PRGA are obtained. Basically, the program obtains a small amount of keying material from the packet then attempts to send packets with known content to the access point (AP).  If the packet is successfully echoed back by the AP then a larger amount of keying information can be obtained from the returned packet.  This cycle is repeated several times until 1504 bytes of PRGA are obtained.
