[Q] Short WPA-PSK Wifi Password

Hi there,
I just installed MIUI_Au 1.5.6 R1 (although this issue may be Android wide, I haven't had the chance to test on any other roms yet) on my HTC Desire and love how it is looking! I have one major problem with it though and that is I cannot connect to my wifi network. The password for my wifi is under the 8 character minimum acceptance length. I have no way of changing this password (I'm in corporate housing, hence I don't have access to the router).
To sum up what happens:
- Enter wifi settings
- Pick the wireless network I want to connect to
- Tap in the box to bring up keyboard
- Punch in password
- Try to tap "Connect" but it is greyed out
- Enter extra characters until 8 character length is reached
- "Connect" button becomes active, but trying to connect obviously fails since it is an incorrect password
Note that I have successfully connected to this network with my laptop (Macbook running OS 10.6.7).
How can I connect to my wifi network (only network around that I have access to) with such a short password or am I just stuck?
The security type on the network is WPA/WPA2 PSK.
Thanks ahead for any help or responses!

Same issue here with windows mobile, any ideas????

The WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) key must meet one of the following guidelines:
- Between 8 and 63 characters (A longer WPA key is more secure than a short one)
- Exactly 64 characters using 0-9 and A-F
If your access type is WPA/WPA2-PSK, then there is no way your password is under 8 characters.

some routers do allow short passwords for this type of wifi, but is there a solution to force short password to the mobile without asking the router owner to change his password to longer one?

A router will allow you to have a shorter pass-code on WAP but never on WPA/WPA2-PSK because of encryption. You can't force a phone to accept a shorter code. What i'd suggest is that you go on your router and change the password length, a lot easier.

[Q] Is there a way to enable android hotspot without tethering

Hello all,
I am looking for a way to run my android as a wireless router (not as an access point or a tether).
I am putting together a distributed app with components running on multiple devices. It works fine when I have the Wi-Fi enabled on my android and I have a wi-fi router to connect to, but I need to run this where I won't necessarily have the wi-fi router available.
Basically, I want to run a private network using my android as both my core app, and as a wifi-router/dhcp server, without allowing devices that connect to my android to have access to the internet through my device.
I've seen many apps and threads that all cover how to use the built-in access point, or how to configure the device as a hotspot, but these all discuss tethering and how to get past the limits (or snooping) of your provider and not how to set up a private network.
Is there a way, or an existing app that will allow me to set up a private network as I describe? If not, is there something I can do within my server code to enable the Access Point and disable Tethering at the same time?
Thanks in Advance
F.F.

[Q] Help with cracking a WPA2 PSK AES hotspot with no wireless clients.

I'm in a tech class and the professor set up a router and told us we get extra credit if we can return the passphrase. The only client on the router is a powered hub, and we can plug in to this hub. As a hint, he told us about capturing beacons and I heard someone mention that the hub itself would be bouncing back all broadcast packets and they would be sent back out over the wireless network. As far as I can tell, there are no other readily exploitable security problems in the router (console is password protected, no clients to get a handshake from).
I know how to capture packets with airodump-ng and I've already used the --beacons option on the router to record some activity (and also while plugging in another computer via ethernet). Is there some sort of program that can use these captured files to reconstruct the network key? Does aircrack-ng have this capability?
Any advice or things to test on the network would be appreciated.

If the router has WPS enabled you could use Reaver to crack it.

Thanks for the suggestion but I forgot to mention that I've already run wash on the router and it's not vulnerable to a WPS attack.

You can't do that... at least you need a WPA handshake and then bruteforce it with dict (from rainbow tables to your own wordlists).... WPA isn't as easy as WEP (If WPS attack not available)

We won't give you a tutorial how to crack it, it's illegal if you do this without permission, but doesn't matter if you have this permission or not we not post this public because everyone can see it and use it.
Some good tools for package monitoring are wireshark, csploit, zanti2, aircrack already use), metasploit and such things.
Instead of cracking the login I would search for a router exploit, google helps a lot. Some routers are widly open or unpatched.

Blocking offensive online content connected via mobile data

Hi,
At my home I use OpenDNS and a Netgear R7000 router with custom word filters. While I managed to block pornographic material from all devices connected to the router, I am unable to filter the mobile data. The OpenDNS settings work when the android device is connected to the wifi and not using its own data. I have tried using apps like Net Nanny, however those apps only force the users to use its own browser which is fine most of the time when the user is browsing the internet. It will not work if the phone is tethered to the PC utilising its own mobile data. Simply tethering the phone via USB or wifi and using its own data, a user can download a tunnelling app, install it on the PC and use the tunnel browser and browse like normally. I do not think my mobile phone provider has an OpenDNS option.
I think there are two methods to go about this:
1. Either disable USB and Wifi tethering option for the device - (the device cannot be use as a tethering device which is ok most of the time until when the tethering function is really needed) or
2. Forcing the mobile data through the OpenDNS port with the help of some sort of app/setting which is password protected.
Password protecting an app/setting is possible I think as Avast AV has an option to lock an app. I am not sure if I can create a Tasker (app) profile that detects/knows the phone is in the house and disables the tethering function. Any ideas? I do not want to resort removing the data plan as communication is done via whatsapp, email etc.

[APP] [4.2+] WPS WiFi Tester - Hack with amounts of static pins and 30+ algorithms

INTRODUCTION
WPS WiFi is the kind of WiFi network which uses 8 digits PIN to access. Unlike password protected WiFi, WPS WiFi only allows numeric digits to be set as the key, which may be vulnerable.
And WiFi WPS Tester is a utility which helps you detect the potential risk of the WPS WiFi. Shipped with more than 30 PIN algorithms, WPS WiFi tester is able to find out whether your WPS WiFi can be easily cracked down with more than 1000 known PIN.
Last but not least, this app works on both root and no-root android phone, and it only works on Android OS 4.2 and above. And then I will try to further reduce its minimum version.

Thank you very much for your feedback!

Yeah

so why exactly do you need phone permission then?

This doesn't seems to work on Oreo 8.1.0
It worked awesome on Nougat 7.1.2
