Valid MAC from AP without any traffic?
Wireless: Bypassing Mac Filtering


Okay I am at a standstill with this wireless AP with MAC filtering...

The thing has NO TRAFFIC. I have been scanning for days and days and days.

Is there any way to somehow obtain or brute force(ish) for a authenticated MAC address when there no traffic (except broadcasts) to use?

Anyone have any idea?
Thanks,
Anne

I ran into something similar the other day while conducting a little field reconnaissance. My solution was to have Aireplay-ng fake an authentication to the AP, this resulted in receiving an ARP packet which I later re-injected back at the router in order to obtain more data/IV packets. FTR: My goal was to crack the WEP encryption, which when sufficient data was gathered my PC found the key in less then 5 seconds.

FTR: I was using the Aircrack-ng within the Backtrack 3 security suite.
