I have the following scenario, yet haven't seen anything in my searches to give me a resolution.
The basic concept: I have the encryption key, but don't know which wireless ssid it goes to.
I want to be able to install a new system at, for example, "grandma's house". She only knows the wireless "key" that was written down for her. She doesn't know if it is wep, psk, she doesn't know if its 64 bit 128 bit, Finally, she doesn't know what the ssid is.
Is there anything that I can sniff all the available wireless networks, try every key type and find and store the network that the "key" matches?
I have tried a number of different configs with wpa_supplicant,
parsing through iwconfig output then generating an interfaces file and looping through each type etc etc...but none seem to work.
any ideas?
Thanks
JH
