backtrack 4, read tutorials, very easy

btw i dont know..

If that is the key then you just type it into the box that asks for it.

Someone close to me decided that this was a safe network key...
123456789101121314151617A

I'm thinking they were wrong, not that I've told them

If that hex code is just the SSID then you have a lot of work ahead of you. Start reading up on BT4.

that hex key is almost certainly an encrypted hash.. WPA uses the PBKDF2 crypt algorthym on the actual key-phrase and ssid to create a hex key like the one you've got... good luck trying to get the passphrase using this !

PBKDF2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

like matey above said.... have a look at backtrack.

If I've got this right, what you have is the 'handshake' between the computer and the router.

You will need to find a dictionary to run through aircrack. But be warned, if the password hasn't been changed to a simple word, a dictionary will be useless.
Forced cracking will only be possible if the password is numbers only...& will probably take several days/weeks to process (depending on the speed of your computer).

If it's made up of a mix of higher & lower case as well as numbers you will be looking at many decades to force crack the password.

The only way to tell what type of password is used is by researching the router details.

i.e. Early BT routers only use number passwords, so they are easier to force crack. But VM use lowercase letters on the 20MB routers.

But that still leaves 208,827,064,576 possible combinations for the VM password. So if your system is capable of processing 2700 phrases/s it will take 895 days to crack the password.

The processing figure is based on a 2.4Ghz Intel Quad Core Q6600 processor

Do you wanna give up now?

yeh, like you say..... that's providing it hasn't been changed from an 8 letter lowercase passphrase, if it's longer or has caps/digits/ascii that number shoots up big-time .
Unless you're gonna rent some of amazon's cloud cluster for a while, brute-forcing WPA is not really viable.. WPA is only vunerable if the passphrase has been changed to a common, easy guessable one, which would appear on a password list, and be open to a dictionary attack.

A German white-hat hacker named Thomas Roth claims he has found a way to use EC2 and some custom software to crack the password of WPA-PSK-protected networks in around 20 minutes. With some tweaks to his software -- which tests 400,000 passwords per second using the EC2 compute power -- Roth said he has could reduce that cracking time to six minutes, about $1.68 worth of time on Amazon EC2. (Amazon charges 28 cents per minute to use its services.)
