Installing Kali Linux
Kali Linux is free to download and install. The Kali files can be big 2-3 GB depending on the type of file you download.
There is three ways to install Kali Linux, install to the hard drive, boot off a DVD, or run it in virtualization.
I will talk about how each install works, but if you are new to Kali Linux,the easiest way is to burn the Kali Linux ISO to a DVD or a flash drive and boot off of it, of course once the computer restarts data can be lost if not stored correctly.
Running Kali Linux within virtualization is possibly the most common way. Mainly because a familiar operating system such as Windows can be run at the same time and files transferred between the two easily. This does take up computing resources, and can add another layer of troubleshooting if a problem arises, such as Kali not recognizing a USB adapter.
If you are just starting out it may be easier to start by using a Boot DVD then move on to virtualization later, but this is a personal option and depends on your own experience and knowledge of using Operating Systems.
â€ƒ
Booting from a DVD
To boot off a DVD or Flash drive the Kali Linux ISO will be needed. The download can be found here http://www.kali.org/downloads You will need to download the 64 Bit version or 32 Bit version depending on your computer. If in doubt use the 32 Bit version as it will work on a 64 bit system.
ISO burning software will be needed. You most likely already have ISO burning software such as certain version of Nero, but if in doubt use Power ISO which can be downloaded here. http://www.poweriso.com/download.htm
Once the ISO is downloaded, load the Kali Linux ISO into your burning software and burn it to a DVD.
After the ISO has been burned to a DVD it now can be used as a Live Disk or used to install to the hard drive.
To boot from the DVD put it into the computer drive and check the computer settings to boot from the disk. Most computers have a boot option button to press or will automatically boot the disk.
Once it boots from the DVD it should come to the following menu.
When Kali Linux is running in Live Mode it is running from the DVD drive not the hard drive. Be careful not to install to the hard drive as this will wipe any existing operating system. Use only the live options.
Selecting Live (686-pae) or Live (amd64) will boot to a dark GNOME desktop.
The default username and password for Kali Linux is root then toor.
Username: root
Password: toor
Quick Steps to creating Kali Linux ISO Boot DVD
1…Download the Kali Linux ISO http://www.kali.org/downloads
2…Download PowerISO or any ISO burning utility, if you do not have one. http://www.poweriso.com/download.htm
3…Install PowerISO or open ISO DVD burning software.
4…Install a DVD into the DVD burner and open PowerISO.
5…Open the Kali Linux ISO file in PowerISO then click burn and burn the Kali Linux image file to DVD.
6…Use the DVD to boot the computer to Kali Linux.â€ƒ
Installing Kali Linux to the Hard Drive
The ISO will be needed to be burn Kali to a DVD and install to the hard drive. This is the same as the above booting off the DVD except once Kali Linux is up and running use the Install option.
Any existing Operating System will be wiped out with this option and only Kali Linux will be installed if this is done!
You can install with a graphical interface or text interface. The graphical interface is easy to understand and follow so choose this.
After choosing install a series of questions will be asked in this order.
Language
Host name (Use Kali)
Password
Time Zone
Partition space
Format
Kali Linux can be setup to dual boot along with an existing Operating System, but explaining how to do a dual boot is more advanced. If something goes wrong the existing Operating System will be gone or damaged.
Installing and Running with VMware
Running two operating systems at the same time is quite common now and done relatively easy. Two things will be needed the Kali Linux VMware Image and VMware Player or Workstation.
For those who do not know VMware is a way to run another operating system virtually within another operating system. Basically, if you are running Windows and want to run a Kali Linux install at the same time you can do this with VMware.
VMware works very well and as long as you have a fairly recent computer it should run fine. If you have an older laptop or an older computer then the ISO may be better. Mainly because a ISO can be burned to a disk or any bootable device and booted from. When Kali Linux is booted off an ISO disk, then it does not need to run Windows in the back ground.
VMware Workstation is not free but there is a free version called VMware Player. VMware Player doesn’t come with all the options Workstation does, but it does work, and runs Kali Linux fine.
VMware Player can be downloaded here http://www.vmware.com/products/player
You will have to scroll down to the bottom of the page find the free download of VMware Player.
Once you have VMware Player you will need the VMware Image file from the Kali Linux site. From the download site here https://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-vmware-arm-image-download/
The VMware Image is a preset up install that can be loaded straight into VMware and be ready to use. Most likely you have a computer that can run 64 bit version, but if in doubt use the 32 bit version which can run on both a 64 and 32 bit computer.
Once both VMware Player and the Kali Linux VMware Image is downloaded, run and install VMware Player and follow the default options.
The Kali Linux VMware Image will have to be extracted and will create its own folder with a bunch of files in it.
Once it is done extracting all the files, run VMware Player and on the right click “Open a Virtual Machine.” A dialog box will come up simply direct it to the folder with the extracted Kali Linux VMware Image.
Only one file will come up because of the .VMX extension click on it and you then will be able to play virtual machine and run Kali Linux.
The default username and password for Kali Linux is root then toor.
Username: root
Password: toor
Quick steps to installing Kali Linux and VMware player
1…Download VMware http://www.vmware.com/products/player
2…Download the Kali Linux VMware image file from the download site, https://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-vmware-arm-image-download/
3…Extract the files.
3…Install VMware: follow the default options
4…Once VMware is installed go to Open a Virtual Machine, go to VMware Kali Linux Image file location and click on the file. Kali Linux will open and come up to a logon screen. The user name is root and the password is toor. â€ƒ
Next Kali Linux and WEP Hacking

The Five Best Linux Live CDs. And many users liked to use Linux on a live CD to get the hang of it before trying to dual-boot with Windows or replacing Windows altogether. By the way, while we're talking about live CDs here, you're not restricted to CDs for most Linux live distros. Some ship full DVDs of software, and most are bootable from. PublicIP Zone, Knoppix, Linux LiveCD Router, Backtrack. If you're new to the Linux or open source community, you might not have heard of live disc or USB distributions yet. They let you run a operating system on PCs without installing anything on the hard drive. It loads directly from the CD/DVD disc or USB flash drive.

You already know that if you want to lock down your Wi-Fi network, you should opt for WPA encryption because WEP is easy to crack. But did you know how easy? Take a look.

What You'll Need

Unless you're a computer security and networking ninja, chances are you don't have all the tools on hand to get this job done. Here's what you'll need:

A compatible wireless adapter—This is the biggest requirement. You'll need a wireless adapter that's capable of packet injection, and chances are the one in your computer is not. After consulting with my friendly neighborhood security expert, I purchased an Alfa AWUS050NH USB adapter, pictured here, and it set me back about $50 on Amazon. Update: Don't do what I did. Get the Alfa AWUS036H, not the US050NH, instead.The guy in this video below is using a $12 model he bought on Ebay (and is even selling his router of choice). There are plenty of resources on getting aircrack-compatible adapters out there.
A BackTrack Live CD. We already took you on a full screenshot tour of how to install and use BackTrack 3, the Linux Live CD that lets you do all sorts of security testing and tasks. Download yourself a copy of the CD and burn it, or load it up in VMware to get started.
A nearby WEP-enabled Wi-Fi network. The signal should be strong and ideally people are using it, connecting and disconnecting their devices from it. The more use it gets while you collect the data you need to run your crack, the better your chances of success.
Patience with the command line. This is an ten-step process that requires typing in long, arcane commands and waiting around for your Wi-Fi card to collect data in order to crack the password. Like the doctor said to the short person, be a little patient.

Crack That WEP

To crack WEP, you'll need to launch Konsole, BackTrack's built-in command line. It's right there on the taskbar in the lower left corner, second button to the right. Now, the commands.

First run the following to get a list of your network interfaces:

The only one I've got there is labeled ra0. Yours may be different; take note of the label and write it down. From here on in, substitute it in everywhere a command includes (interface).

Now, run the following four commands. See the output that I got for them in the screenshot below.

If you don't get the same results from these commands as pictured here, most likely your network adapter won't work with this particular crack. If you do, you've successfully 'faked' a new MAC address on your network interface, 00:11:22:33:44:55.

Now it's time to pick your network. Run:

To see a list of wireless networks around you. When you see the one you want, hit Ctrl+C to stop the list. Highlight the row pertaining to the network of interest, and take note of two things: its BSSID and its channel (in the column labeled CH), as pictured below. Obviously the network you want to crack should have WEP encryption (in the ENC) column, not WPA or anything else.

Like I said, hit Ctrl+C to stop this listing. (I had to do this once or twice to find the network I was looking for.) Once you've got it, highlight the BSSID and copy it to your clipboard for reuse in the upcoming commands.

Now we're going to watch what's going on with that network you chose and capture that information to a file. Run:

Where (channel) is your network's channel, and (bssid) is the BSSID you just copied to clipboard. You can use the Shift+Insert key combination to paste it into the command. Enter anything descriptive for (file name). I chose 'yoyo,' which is the network's name I'm cracking.

You'll get output like what's in the window in the background pictured below. Leave that one be. Open a new Konsole window in the foreground, and enter this command:

Here the ESSID is the access point's SSID name, which in my case is yoyo. What you want to get after this command is the reassuring 'Association successful' message with that smiley face.

You're almost there. Now it's time for:

Here we're creating router traffic to capture more throughput faster to speed up our crack. After a few minutes, that front window will start going crazy with read/write packets. (Also, I was unable to surf the web with the yoyo network on a separate computer while this was going on.) Here's the part where you might have to grab yourself a cup of coffee or take a walk. Basically you want to wait until enough data has been collected to run your crack. Watch the number in the '#Data' column—you want it to go above 10,000. (Pictured below it's only at 854.)

Depending on the power of your network (mine is inexplicably low at -32 in that screenshot, even though the yoyo AP was in the same room as my adapter), this process could take some time. Wait until that #Data goes over 10k, though—because the crack won't work if it doesn't. In fact, you may need more than 10k, though that seems to be a working threshold for many.

Once you've collected enough data, it's the moment of truth. Launch a third Konsole window and run the following to crack that data you've collected:

Here the filename should be whatever you entered above for (file name). You can browse to your Home directory to see it; it's the one with .cap as the extension.

If you didn't get enough data, aircrack will fail and tell you to try again with more. If it succeeds, it will look like this:

The WEP key appears next to 'KEY FOUND.' Drop the colons and enter it to log onto the network.

Problems Along the Way

With this article I set out to prove that cracking WEP is a relatively 'easy' process for someone determined and willing to get the hardware and software going. I still think that's true, but unlike the guy in the video below, I had several difficulties along the way. In fact, you'll notice that the last screenshot up there doesn't look like the others—it's because it's not mine. Even though the AP which I was cracking was my own and in the same room as my Alfa, the power reading on the signal was always around -30, and so the data collection was very slow, and BackTrack would consistently crash before it was complete. After about half a dozen attempts (and trying BackTrack on both my Mac and PC, as a live CD and a virtual machine), I still haven't captured enough data for aircrack to decrypt the key.

So while this process is easy in theory, your mileage may vary depending on your hardware, proximity to the AP point, and the way the planets are aligned. Oh yeah, and if you're on deadline—Murphy's Law almost guarantees it won't work if you're on deadline.
