let me know where can I get the compatable packet injection drivers for my w-lan card's so that I can test ... I wanna try first this with my wi-fi modem  .

let me know the procedure....

one more question , can I do wifi-hacking using virtual machine , if so do I have bridge / NAT the network?

Thanks,

You are probably not going to like my answer, but you can't do this on Windows (at least not easily). You need to get some flavor of Linux (you can get that as dual boot). That's because of msft protection of their code. The dev community can't create wifi drivers that support the monitor mode. They can do this on Linux because it is open source but not on msft.

First off I'm just curious dot or feather... Well never mind. I'm also interested in this topic. Probablly not for the same reason and Indian007, but because I would like to keep Indian007 out of my wep protected network. I know you can crack wep and would like to use WPA but my old Linksys BEFW11S4 switch router either doesn't support it or just doesn't like it. Oh by the way Indian ... just kidding you can use my network, you just have to ask first.

It is unbelievable how many people are still using WEP these days (do not take it personally, just commenting on the fact). I was war driving just for fun recently, and I'd say it is still at least 25% of WEP. "ask first" ... it would take away all the fun! :)
