      1. Even the pros do it that way sometimes. I’ve got an internet radio with built in wi-fi, one of those boxes based on an ARM chip running a custom linux. When I cracked it open to have a peek inside they’d just built a USB port on the circuit board, plugged a bare USB dongle in there, then added a wire leading to an external antenna.

    1. @Mikko (I can’t reply directly)
      Did you look into using the USB signals on the PCI-E slot itself? I think it’s pins 38 and 38.
      Then you just need to source 5V from somewhere and you have your internal network card without disabling a USB port.

    1. This is the first of five links he provides, sandwiched in between “This has probably been done to some extent:” and “but i am a DIY kind of person, and I learn more from building my own tools, then using someone else’s.”

      1. Yet he’s learnt nothing of aircrack from what he’s done. He knows how to use them and maybe learnt about scripting.

        Not that I know how aircrack works, still don’t understand what the PTW attack is.

    1. Did you just search for web addresses and not read why it’s doing it? It’s completely optional..
      #Looks though the DIRs for the key files, then bassed on the mac it uses Skyhooks database to locate the AP
      if [ x”$1″ = x”locate” -o x”$1″ = x”location” ]; then

  1. Excuse me, why the hell is there a bloody WEP cracking tutorial on Hackaday? I don’t object to showing people how to do it, I object because it’s utterly non-technical and every wannabe hacker out there has made a lame video about how to crack WEP. There’s absolutely nothing interesting or remarkable about what he did.
