How to set up a WEP (legacy) Access Point

0

2

I have been searching the internet for a few days now on how to set up a WEP (in)secure AP. For pen-testing and experimentation purposes. I noticed that the support of Wired Equivalent Privacy has been dropped almost universally.

The tools at my disposal:

  • A rooted Android device
  • An Ubuntu/windows 10 desktop
  • A windows 10 laptop
  • A router (VTech NB403)

What I've tried:

  • Android hotspot → doesn't even have WEP support and I failed to find any Hotspot app offering WEP.

  • Windowsnetsh doesn't work on either of my machines, failed to find any Virtual Router programs which support WEP.

  • Ubuntu →netapd doesn't support my wireless card (no suitable drivers).

  • Modem → Security option for access points only shows WPA/WPA2/None.

Any directions on how I could achieve such a setup with a WEP "protected" AP?

On Windows, enter the command netsh wlan show drivers. For the network card to support APs you should see Hosted network supported : Yes. If it does say Yes, then see this tutorial.

@harrymc Thank you for the suggestion, in fact one of the computers (the desktop) does support Hosted network. Unfortunately it runs Windows 10 and WEP has been depreciated long ago. Only WPA is supported now. – None – 2017-10-11T14:30:25.857

Could you post the output of netsh wlan show drivers. – harrymc – 2017-10-11T15:38:48.673
