Hello everyone

First post here, and I hope I'm not repeating things that are elsewhere in the forums with  my questions.

I'm due to start a BSc in Forensic Computing in September, and I'm having a bit of a play around with Backtrack 3.

My questions are these:

I've setup a WEP wireless  network and I'm using Wesside-ng to crack it, I've only got one wireless card and I've managed to crack the key, and I can connect.

I've tried using Wifizoo, but once I've connected to the network, it doesn't capture any data, am I correct in assuming that I still need an interface in monitor  mode?

Also once I've issued the airmon-ng start wifi0 command, I can't figure out how to stop it, I've done the airmon-ng stop ath0 and airmon-ng stop wifi0, and looking in iwconfig, all the extentions are stopped, but I can't get my card to detect any wireless networks, until I take the card out and put it back again, it's a Netgear WPN511, not sure if that makes a difference.

Hope someone can help me out.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Tony

Thanks for the info Kev.

I've come out of monitor mode and I can't get Wifizoo to capture anything.

I'm going to get a second wifi card soon, in fact I need a new laptop, as I'm trying to do this on a horrible Pentium II laptop that I was given for free

Do you have any suggestions on other things I can try, now that I have a basic understanding of WEP cracking?
