2Wire WPA Brute Force

Hardware Selection

Install BackTrack Linux

For me it was best to install BackTrack as a partition on the hard drive, rather than running from USB. The problem with USB for me was I could not get BackTrack 5 to work with persistence on USB.

Capture WPA Handshake

After handshake has been captured it will show on the terminal

6. The captured handshake will be stored in 2WIRE422-01.cap

Crack

FFmpeg, Screencast Linux

A screencast is a digital recording of computer screen output, also known as a video screen capture, often containing audio narration. The term screencast compares with the related term screenshot; whereas screenshot is a picture of a computer screen, a screencast is essentially a movie of the changes over time that a user sees on a computer screen, enhanced with audio narration.

UPX

UPX, the Ultimate Packer for eXecutables, is a free and open source executable packer supporting a number of file formats from different operating systems.

UCL has been designed to be simple enough that a decompressor can be implemented in just a few hundred bytes of code. UCL requires no additional memory to be allocated for decompression, a considerable advantage that means that a UPX packed executable usually requires no additional memory.

Process Dumper

Process Dumper is able to make a dump of a running process in a forensical manner.
Features

* dumps the whole process space (all data and code mappings)
* uses meta information to describe the different mappings (needed for advanced analysis)
* also saves the process environment and state
* outputs to stdout, so its possible to combine it with other tools (netcat etc.)
* doesn't touch the harddisk at all

ProcDump

ProcDump is a command-line utility whose primary purpose is monitoring an application for CPU spikes and generating crash dumps during a spike that an administrator or developer can use to determine the cause of the spike. ProcDump also includes hung window monitoring (using the same definition of a window hang that Windows and Task Manager use), unhandled exception monitoring and can generate dumps based on the values of system performance counters. It also can serve as a general process dump utility that you can embed in other scripts.

FFmpeg, Cut to frame, different audio

Get audio cuts with Audacity

ffmpeg -ss 0:3:55.570 -t 0:2:36.7 -i in.mp3 -c copy trim.mp3

Encode to FFVhuff

ffmpeg -ss 1:31:0 -t 0:4:0 -i in.mkv -c ffvhuff -an -sn FFVhuff.mkv

Get cut values with Avidemux

ffmpeg -ss 26.818 -t 0:2:33.111 -i FFVhuff.mkv -c copy trim.mkv

ffmpeg -i trim.mkv -i trim.mp3 -vf scale=638:-1,fade=out:3658:14 -c:a copy -threads 6 out.mkv

ffmpeg -ss 26.818 -i FFVhuff.mkv -c copy trim.mkv

Scale, fade, mux audio

ffmpeg -i trim.mkv -i trim.mp3 -vf scale=638:-1,fade=out:3658:14 -c:a copy -shortest -threads 6 out.mkv

Notes

The correct way is to put -ss first, then -i. If you put -i first it will cause sync issues.
