Is there any WEP cracking application available for android? Is there any WEP cracking application available for android?

If not is WEP cracking technically possible with the API's and hardware available on your average android phone?

This is a purely academic question please leave ethical arguments out of it.
The Broadcom bcm4329 chipset in a lot of android phones (Nexus One, Evo, G1) probably many more) supports monitor/promiscuous mode. The driver needs to be modified to allow monitor mode to be enabled.

Here is the source of the current drivers:

monitor mode flag

method to that sets the mode

In the second link, you can see that monitor mode flag is not even in the switch statement so it's just gets ignored when called.

Someone also got tcpdump working on a G1 so it's possible, we jsut need to put in some work to get it functional though.

A few more links about the chipset, drivers, and modifications to them:
