Wireless network key.......HELP!!!

[MarkyG]

Have just lost my wireless network key.

Is there a program that can detect wireless networks and reveal me the key? I have tried the other versions of wireless key finders that search the computer for the key, but its not finding any keys on my PC at all. Need it to connect to internet and the like !!

Any help greatly appreciated. PM if needed.

Go on the wireless site, xxx.xxx.x.x your ip or something?

not realy, its hacking wireless and illegal, theres no easy way to hack a network, if it realy is your network then you can get to the router, most can be reset to factory settings if you look in the handbook or there website will tell you how

Cheers guys, am jsut a little dusty on the old wireless stuff, fine with wired though!

Didnt think to access my router! will do that and give it a try!

Access your router (if u know the password on it), if bt router is should be printed on a label on it. If u really cant get into it use the reset button on the router

As said if you get stuck use the reset button on the router, you will usually have to hold for around 30 secs :)

Depends what router u have. Ive got a linksys, so ive set my own encryption key, i much prefer linksys to the bt routers, uve got so much more control and ways to optomise it if u know how

Ive got a linksys as a gateway. Nice little box, running to a Belkin router downstairs by wire. Fast as f00k still, even though the wireless signal to the router downstairs is ok-ish I use a gateway.

Never had a problem with the linksys either, got it all tweaked and setup very nicely :)

BT routers are :homme: compared to other brands in my opinion, so much more flexibility and customisation.

I tried to run that setup with two linsys routers but had a few issues

To access you're router you're going to have to plug into it remember.

Can't get to it if you can't get on the WiFi.

If you want to hax0r it, get Backtrack V3 (I know V4 is out but it's over-bloated shit)

Have fun kiddies.

[MarkyG]

Backtrackv3?

Ste knows his shit. ;)
