How to obtain a WEP Passphrase from a local Unfriendly network?

Asked by Folklife

One of my unknown neighbors has a strong Wireless signal that I would like to hook into to get on the web. My own signal is too weak. I am asked for a WEP Passphrase (password) but I am a lousy guesser. How to do it??

I think it is not right. But when i need to recover a password of a wireless LAN, i use aircrack.

Try. "sudo aptitude install aircrack-ng"

Please remember that "hacking" your neighbors wireless without is permission is illegal.

Can you help with this problem?
