edit Tips
Pay special attention to the Encryptation of the network, it must be WEP not WPA.
It is better to crack a network with good signal because if not, it could be imposible to
do it.
Sometimes the #Data needed is superior to 30000 packets. Sometimes 1000000
packets are necessesary to crack the key.
To know if your computer possesses the chipset IPW3945 you can execute the
command ipconfig /all in Windows' MS-DOS. You have to look for Intel
PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection. In other operating systems like Linux-
based ones, you can download programs like hardinfo to obtain a complete list of the
hardware of your computer, where it would be included the chipset of your NIC. This
chipset is very common on laptops.
If attack 2 (when you press number 2) don't succeed, you have to try again later or
crack another network.
Sometimes the catch of Data starts in an hour or maybe never. You could try later,
rebooting the computer or changing the location of your computer.
