Of course only 1337 h4x0rs know this.
Just wodering if it's possible to work a WEP passkey backwords to discover the word that was used. Since my brother in law died last year
we've left the network alone as it's just worked... but his eldest has a nintendo DS and this seems to want a 13 character WEP key unlike
the laptop(s) which both used the HEX numbers on the router...
I could get them to re setup the router but Im worried about trying to get them to do this and it going wrong (they are in Aus and Im not!!) and when
you look online all it seems to talk about is hacking wireless etc..

Have you tried the hex key you have? or have you tried convert that hex into ascii.
But to answer your question, not that I know of, probably 128 bit so would take a while anyway.

Just found this which seems wierd as yours is only 13 digits long
Should I use HEX or ASCII when creating a WEP Key?
When entering a WEP Key, you have the choice of entering Hexadecimal or ASCII characters. Hexadecimal (HEX) is the easiest to use. You can either
create a 10-digit (64-bit) or 26-digit (128-bit) key. We recommend the 10-digit. Consider using an easy-to-remember number.

Yeah tried but there's not enough room to type the numbers into the DS.
04:05:00:44:12:04:05:00:44:12:25:06:66
perhaps Id better just try and re-set it. or get telstra to talk them through it!!!

Off chance you may find the key on a sticker on the bottom of the router.
or
Use a cable connection to connect to the routers setup page and change the key.
Maybe the ds can only support 64 bit encryption and your router is set up for 128?
Hence not having enough space. Somebody should be along soon that has more knowledge on ds's

type it in without the ":".
Yes you can find out someones WEP key but it's not easy.

Would be easier to connect to it with a cable - most people leave there router passwords as "admin". If its a sky router it'll be
"sky" etc etc.

Aircrack -- always wanted to try it.
Good news is that trying the passkey without the colons did the trick. thanks all for your help :-)

you have to port from windows to Linux thats the hardest part trying to get the card working. and you need a card that will run in mon mode. linksys a/b/g cards with atheros chipsets in off ebay work very well. but its easy to do if you have everything you need.
