=== Directories === manpages: contains aircrack-ng manpages patches: contains linux driver patches packages: contains file to create distro packages. src: contains the aircrack-ng suite sources test: contains several different WPA handshake and other capture files as well as a dictionnary === Compilating === If you're not compiling aircrack-ng on Linux or FreeBSD, first, you have to delete the original Makefile then: * cygwin : rename Makefile.cygwin to Makefile * MacOSX : rename Makefile.osx to Makefile * windows : use windows package unless you don't need airodump/wzcook * OpenBSD : rename Makefile.OpenBSD to Makefile * NetBSD : rename Makefile.NetBSD to Makefile * On another OS: That's untested, but you have to rename Makefile.other to Makefile Compilation: make Installing: make install Uninstall: make uninstall Optionnaly, you can strip debugging symbols by running 'make strip' before 'make install' === Compiling with airpcap support === See README_AIRCAP.TXT === Using precompiled binaries === Linux/BSD: * Use your package manager to download aircrack-ng Windows: * Install the appropriate "monitor" driver for your card (standard drivers doesn't work for capturing data) See "Drivers" page on the wiki: http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=drivers and Wild packet driver page: http://www.wildpackets.com/support/downloads/drivers * If you use airodump-ng, peek.dll and peek5.sys files are needed (they have to be put in the same directory as airodump-ng). You can either download them (there are links on our wiki) or let airodump-ng download them itself the first time you run it. * aircrack-ng suite is command line tools. So, you have to open a commandline (Start menu -> Run... -> cmd.exe) then use them * Run the executables without any parameters to have help
