The following questions refer to 🔗 WiFi.pcap :

2️⃣7️⃣ You are part of a wireless penetration test and have acquired the 🔗 WiFi.pcap file. What is the BSSID of the WAP (colon delimited)?

✅ Answer:

We will use aircrack-ng to analysis the file and get BSSID of the WAP.

01) Install Aircrack-ng
https://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=install_aircrack

02) Open terminal and run aircrack-ng command as following :

aircrack-ng WiFi.pcap

$ aircrack-ng WiFi.pcap
Opening WiFi.pcapplease wait...
Read 53337 packets.

   #  BSSID              ESSID                     Encryption

   1  24:F5:A2:11:F7:6A  Home_Net                  WEP (0 IVs)

                         KEY FOUND! [ 6B:F7:F7:3F:FC ] 
	Decrypted correctly: 100%

The BSSID of the WAP > 24:F5:A2:11:F7:6A

2️⃣8️⃣ Analyze the WiFi.pcap file. How many seconds long is the packet capture, from beginning to end (round to the nearest second)?

Select one:

• 462
• 595
• 126
• 745

✅ Answer:

01) Open the file in Wireshark.

02) Select from upper menu Statistics > Capture File Properties :

Capture length is > 595 sec

2️⃣9️⃣ What is the WEP key of the WAP (without colons)?

✅ Answer:

From our Q27 using aircrack-ng tool:
WEP key > 6BF7F73FFC

3️⃣0️⃣ Use the WEP key to decrypt the traffic in 🔗 WiFi.pcap. What is the session_id assigned to the administrator of the network device?

✅ Answer:

01) Open file in Wireshark.

02) To add WEP Key to decrypt the traffic, From upper menu select Wireshark->Preferences. You should see a window that looks like this:

Select Protocols-> IEEE 802.11 > Decryption keys [edit]

then add the WEP key from previous answer without colons 6BF7F73FFC

03) Let's search for all packets contains session_id and word admin using this filter:

tcp contains "session_id" && tcp contains "admin"

Notice the packet info POST /login.cgi HTTP/1.1 which is a login packet.

04) Let's examine this packet, go to packet details tab > expand HTML Form URL Encoded: application/x-www-form-urlencoded , you will find admin login details:

Form item: "http_username" = "admin"

Form item: "http_passwd" = "ba41d75ebd1339f3a420da1db2c48dc2"

> expand Hypertext Transfer Protocol

You will find that admin granted a session_id after successful login with session_id=f29e8307513709b98b88b8e029bb7f53

Let's check the rest of the packages, try this filter to view POST method packets:

http.request.method == "POST"

You will find admin applying some configuration to the device with same session id, to view packets data right click on packet > follow > TCP Stream

You will find admin applying some configuration with same session

Session_id assigned to the administrator of the network device > f29e8307513709b98b88b8e029bb7f53
