cracking wep keys with dwepdump and dwepcrack

[Mandrel]

I am trying to crack the 128-bit WEP key on my wireless network at home using dwepdump to capture the weak ivs, and dwepcrack to crack the key using the weak ivs captured from dwepdump.

BTW, this is being done on FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE.

Dwepdump has been capturing weak ivs for 12 days now, and has captured 405162 packets (see below for output from dwepdump). This is only a small fraction of the packets that has been transmitted over the wireless. Over 10,000,000 packets have been transmitted in the past 12 days, but only those 405162 packets are useful in WEP cracking.

Has anyone successfully cracked a 128-bit WEP key? If so, how many packets did you capture before you could crack the key? How many days did it take to collect enough packets?

Here is the current status of dwepdump:

0.01 1:10cc 2:1973 :: 405162

I know I need to wait until the 0 column reaches 14 (hex for decimal 20). Right now, I'm at 1....19 to go.

Here is another question: is there any kind of traffic I can generate that will accelerate the collection of 0 column keys?

I have been running constant pings to the internet to generate wireless traffic (over 250,000 over the weekend), but the 0 column remains at 01.

Thanks!!
