Gathering packets may be done through tools such as WireShark or Prismdump and cracking may be done through tools such as WEPCrack, AirSnort, AirCrack, and WEPLab. When gathering packets, often a great amount of them are required to perform cracking. Depending on the attack used, 5-16 million frames may be required.
Wireshark is very similar to tcpdump, but has a graphical front-end and integrated sorting and filtering options.. Wireshark lets the user put network interface controllers into promiscuous mode (if supported by the network interface controller), so they can see all the traffic visible on that interface including unicast traffic not sent to that network interface controller's MAC address.
