Android / Re: [WIP]Hacking with a Acer Iconia A500
« on: January 04, 2013, 06:14:11 pm »WIP=Work in ProgressI found some interesting info. Monitor mode works on bcm4329. Isnt that the same as the acer a500? I bleieve the links are translated with google but if not you will have to use google translate. Aircrack should work on the a500 with usb and with the right chipset. It works on the Motorola Xoom. Stay in touch. Thanks.
Ok well I have some more free time on my hands so I'm going to start with working on hacking with an Acer Iconia Tablet, not just basics, but I mean, actually be able to hack WEP, Crack WPA, use metasploit, attack websites, etc.
Now most people say its impossible, but when my tablet has a dual core processor, 1 gb ram, as well as a USB Host port, I can't help but think this should work. I'm deciding to post this so others here can try as well as when/if I get stuck I can get some help Anyways onto my ideas.
First off I did some research (not in depth, but I've done some lol) and I found this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zpwebsites.backtrackinstallfree&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS56cHdlYnNpdGVzLmJhY2t0cmFja2luc3RhbGxmcmVlIl0.
Did my research on that, rooted my tablet, flashed a rom with a custom kernal (to support loop) and got backtrack running (chrooted) on my tablet, ex:
Terminal on Tab Startup:
Running androidVNC with settings:
Backtrack 5 Running:
So now I've been trying to work with this, however I'm having trouble installing dependencies and the aircrack suite (working on successfully hacking a wep network) I've tried compiling it, but its a no go (will update later with errors) however, I've been waiting on a friend to give me back my wifi hack card (http://www.dealextreme.com/p/2000mw-high-power-802-11b-g-54mbps-usb-2-0-wireless-network-dongle-with-dual-high-gain-antenna-44929?item=18) so I can really get started.
I figure since the Acer Iconia a500 has a USB host port (that works USB mouse worked flawlessly) I need to pick up a hub and see if I can plug in a keyboard, mouse, and the Wireless Network Dongle (which wont interfere with Acer's proprietary driver bullshit) which is supported out of the box in most linux distributions and will go into monitor mode without a problem. I believe without having to worry about the built in wifi card, I can use one that is greatly supported and should work just fine when it comes to using any wifi tools (wifi attacks/penetration)
Other route
If I'm unable to get this working [chrooted] (doesn't modify any files on my android) then to run linux nativly on my Iconia Tab, which has been accomplished (with ubuntu, but same as backtrack 5 essentially)
