Documentation, tutorials, ... can be found on www.aircrack-ng.org See also manpages and the forum. Airpcap ------- Latest driver (3.2.1) is required. The Aircrack-ng suite provided has been modified to work in conjunction with the AirPcap adapters and the drivers included in the AirPcap CD. aireplay-ng requires an AirPcap Tx adapter to be able to function while all the other tools can use either adapter. Usage Instructions ------------------ The adapter name you need to use is \\.\airpcapXX, where XX is the number of the AirPcap device. For example: airodump-ng.exe \\.\airpcap00 airpcap 0 trace or aireplay-ng --fakeauth 0 -e "MYSSID" -a 11:22:33:44:55:66 -h 66:55:44:33:22:11 \\.\airpcap00 How to build the sources Instructions ------------------------------------- 1. Install cygwin from http://www.cygwin.com/ 2. Download the AirPcap Develper's pack from http://www.cacetech.com/support/downloads.htm 3. Unpack the AirPcap Develper's pack inside the main aircrack folder, and rename the new directory to "AirPcap_Devpack" 4. Open a bash shell 5. run "make -f Makefile.airpcap" More information ---------------- Official AirPcap Website: www.cacetech.com OpenWrt Devices --------------- You can use airodump-ng on OpenWrt devices. You'll have to use specify prism0 as interface. Airodump-ng will automatically create it. Rq: Aireplay DOESN'T work on OpenWrt with broadcom chipset since the driver doesn't support injection Other issue: ------------ Problem: Airodump-ng stop working after some time Solution: You may have a network manager running that puts back the card in managed mode. You'll have to disable it (the fastest solution is killing the process) then restart airodump-ng. Madwifi-ng known bugs: ---------------------- Problem: When changing rate while you are capturing packet makes airodump-ng stall Solution: Restart airodump-ng or change rate before starting it Problem: After some time it stops capturing packets and you're really sure no network manager are running at all. Solution: That's a known bug in the driver, it may happen at any time (the time before it fails can vary a lot: from 5 minutes to 50 or even more). Problem: When creating a new VAP airodump-ng takes up to 10-15 seconds to see the first packet Solution: It's the behaviour of madwifi-ng, don't worry. Sample files ------------ wep.open.system.authentication.cap: It show a connexion (authentication then association) to a WEP network (open authentication). wep.shared.key.authentication.cap: It shows a connexion (authentication then association to a WEP network (shared authentication). The difference with open authentication is that the client has to encrypt a challenge text and send it back (encrypted) to the AP to prove it has the right key. wpa.cap: This is a sample file with a WPA handshake. It is located in the test/ directory of the install files. The passphrase is 'biscotte'. Use the password file (password.lst) which is in the same directory. wpa2.eapol.cap: This is a sample file with a WPA2 handshake. It is located in the test/ directory of the install files. The passphrase is '12345678'. Use the password file (password.lst) which is in the same directory. test.ivs (http://download.aircrack-ng.org/wiki-files/other/test.ivs): This is a 128 bit WEP key file. The key is AE:5B:7F:3A:03:D0:AF:9B:F6:8D:A5:E2:C7. ptw.cap (http://dl.aircrack-ng.org/ptw.cap): This is a 64 bit WEP key file suitable for the PTW method (-z option). The key is '1F:1F:1F:1F:1F'.
