Hello once more. One last thing to add is that even if one
installs a high-gain Wi-Fi antenna, depending on the
distance to the source, you probably won't have clear
line-of-sight and subject to multipath problems. The
network might show a "4 green bars" signal strength one
moment and be yellow, red, or out the next). Sincerely,


That is most likely where my problem is. Remember this is just
a redneck style Git'r done solution till my commercial one
arrives, a vertical anttenna in front of a dish has got all
ears and no mouth written all over it.
Now if I was using a feed horn [cantenna type] well that would
prove tx power and your sugestion as well is the culprit, we
know the clutter thing is in there because this whole shmoosh
is indoors. I hate running high power $$$ and frequent
burnouts of the finals. I like to think a half watt is all
I'll need. Now if I can get my TX to look like a Laser beam
hey hey.

Seriously check this out;

The software is free but I preffer the USB dongle os
running BackTrack 3 It's a bit simpler, and you need 2 wifi
dongles, prefferably the Athros as suggested, II use them on
other versions of Linux too, they seem to be the best for
hackin around, they are permiscuos and can Inject packets to
an already busy data streem thanx to the MAC address
spoofabilty they have.
You can also use this software to turn a laptop with two
dongles into a covert repeater. But expect downtime with that
idea.
You can Cache everybodys WEP keys buy faking your IP as one of
the AP points in the Air. Send all 'packets copy' to a data
BIN folder and run the desypher software built in to get the
wep, wpk and such. Even SSL ports. It's my job to keep these
script kiddies out of my network, I have to know this stuff.
Our wireless Credit card system is constantly under attack
by NIX kids [wannabe hacker teens running linux] As long as I
can crack it, they will not use it, it's sitting there off
line collecting dust per order ME!! WEP is not safe neither
is WPK, though a data base dictionary service is needed for
WPK sometimes for 25 bucks these hackers will take your glop
of ssl data and within 1 day send you the security key.
This is the nightmare behind CLOUD computing, the access to
several hundred micro proccessors to crack a key is now CHEAP,
I use 40 lab machines to convert and crunch a DVD 2 hour video
in ten minutes with cloud computing software. It's realy FARM
computing not quite the same as the term local ads are running
such as google is now cloud computing.
Unfortunatly Criminal minds are more intrested in this more
then we are.
