Installing Aircrack-ng, Airoscript-ng, Airdrop-ng, Besside-ng on Ubuntu

Update your OS and install these ESSENTIAL and recommended package

NOTE: Before continuing, make sure NOT to be active in Synaptic the Repositories "Proposed" and "Backports"

Install/update "IW"
(Wireless Configuration Utility for drivers based on Stacks-mac80211)

[Firt option] Install iw from Ubuntu repository through Synaptic

[RECOMMENDED OPTION] Alternatively compiling the latest version available from IW source

If present, before you continue, uninstall Aircrack-ng and delete the old directory

If installed from Ubuntu repositories through "Synaptic" package manager, use this procedure:

If however you have installed aircrack-ng-1.1.tar.gz package or compiled Aircrack-ng from source code (SVN version), also use this procedure for future updates:

Installing Aircrack-ng with Airolib-ng support on Ubuntu
(requires SQlite3 installed)

[Firt option] Installation/upgrade SQlite3 from Ubuntu repository through Synaptic

[RECOMMENDED OPTION] Alternatively compiling the latest version available from Sqlite3 source

To check the version of sqlite3 installed

Compiling Aircrack-ng + Airolib-ng without unstable programs

This takes time to download, do not stop/exit from your terminal to completion

Recommended installation

Install the entire Suite of Aircrack-ng including programs in development such us: Tkiptun-­ng, Wesside­-ng, Besside-­ng, Easside­-ng/Buddy-­ng.

NOTA:

In the last month, unstable programs and scripts are updated frequently to be improved.

So I suggest install this working release and installable with the usual method, pending the final changes.

Installing Airoscript-ng on Ubuntu

Build Airoscript-ng

Installing Airgraph-ng on Ubuntu
This tool creates an file image of network received with Airodump-ng

For uninstall Airgraph-ng

Examples of the image file created using Airgraph-ng

Installing Airdrop-ng on Ubuntu

Building Airdrop-ng

requires installation of "python-dev" of your Python version installed

Update IEEE's OUI public database

Useful Commands

For update IEEE's OUI public database (from release 1.0 rc4 r1616)

To check the installed version of Aircrack-ng

To verify the correct installation and compatibility with new SSE2-SHA1 support

To run the WPA cracking speed test

To limit the CPU usage if you reach too high temperatures
(if you have a multiprocessor PC)

To export the capture file/Handshake in oclHashcat format

Error Aircrack-ng fixed channel mon0: -1

To mitigate the Aireplay-ng issue --> "mon0 is on channel -1" without patching drivers using the option "--ignore-negative-one"

To mitigate the Airodump-ng issue --> "Monitor Mode: Fixed channel mon0: -1" without patching drivers using the option "--ignore-negative-one"

Update Aircrack-ng on BackTrak 5

For update Aircrack-ng SVN

Follow the same procedure as for Ubuntu without remove/uninstall Aircrack-ng, changing only the installation directory/path.
(correct directory --> "/pentest/wireless/")

Configuring the CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor on Ununtu
(to optimize the CPU-clock)

After the new implementation of SH1-SSE2 code, the velocity and number of K/s is greatly increased and improved.

During the WPA crack process (brute force or dictionary attack) the CPUs present and recognized by the program, now works always at 100%, but this also increases the temperature of processors.

I suggest to use the setting "ondemand", this in order to lower the CPU temperature and improve the autonomy of the battery, when used the Notebook, but if the temperatures reach or exceed 100 degrees Celsius, select the option "powersafe".

Reconfigure gnome­-applets

Select --> "YES" to question, for enable the permissions of "root".

Click the image

And finally, add the icon of "cpufreq-­selector" in the top panel of Ubuntu: --> Click on the new icon added, and you can select different modes for single CPU.

Personally, i suggest you the setting "Ondemand", both to lower temperatures, in order to improve the battery life when used with Notebook.

Centrino Duo processor, is designed to work with critical temperatures around 100 degrees Celsius.

Do not be alarmed if the work temperatures is 85/90°, but does not exceed for a long time.

In case, the increase was higher than these values, I suggest you take the icon of CPU frequency and changing the option to "On Demand" in "POWERSAVE", or setting the CPU clock fixed at 1 GHz.

Enjoy, Jano
