Hi,
I am a beginner in wireless networking. I have an AP(access point router) which is password protected.But I think the key is hacked and someone is misusing the Internet connection.I wish to know the following:
1) Is it possible to know if anyone is hacking into the system?
2)How to get to know the key of another AP router?
I've actually witnessed someone hack a WEP hotspot (the one in our office, no less). I won't post what he did here, but I'm sure Google will reveal a how-to somewhere. Be aware though, since you're trying to compromise a security measure (i.e., the network's users have an expectation of privacy and integrity), doing so may be a crime where you're based.
fihart is right. You have to find out how to access your router's DHCP table, which is a record of the IP addresses of computers connecting to your network. If you're looking to protect your network, nothing beats changing the password regularly.
