Aircrack-ng is a complete suite of tools to assess WiFi network security.

All tools are command line which allows for heavy scripting. A lot of GUIs have taken advantage of this feature. It works primarily Linux but also Windows, OS X, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, as well as Solaris and even eComStation 2.

It focuses on different areas of WiFi security:

• Monitoring: Packet capture and export of data to text files for further processing by third party tools.
• Attacking: Replay attacks, deauthentication, fake access points and others via packet injection.
• Testing: Checking WiFi cards and driver capabilities (capture and injection).
• Cracking: WEP and WPA PSK (WPA 1 and 2).

We also maintain patches for:

• Packet injection for Linux drivers
• HostAPd and Freeradius, called WPE (Wireless Pawn Edition) patches, to attack WPA Enterprise.

If you are impatient and want to know how to get started, jump to the Getting Started Tutorial.

Aircrack-ng was started at the end of February 2006. It is the Next Generation of aircrack with lots of new features:

• Better documentation (wiki, manpages) and support (Forum, trac, IRC: #aircrack-ng on Freenode).
• More cards/drivers supported
• More OS and platforms supported
• PTW attack
• WEP dictionary attack
• Fragmentation attack
• WPA Migration mode
• Improved cracking speed
• Capture with multiple cards
• New tools: airtun-ng, packetforge-ng (improved arpforge), wesside-ng, easside-ng, airserv-ng, airolib-ng, airdriver-ng, airbase-ng, tkiptun-ng and airdecloak-ng
• Optimizations, other improvements and bug fixing
• …

Note: Check trac for planned and requested features

IMPORTANT Information Regarding Windows Version IMPORTANT
The windows version requires you to develop your own DLLs to link aircrack-ng to your wireless card. The required DLLs are not provided in the download nor available anywhere on the Internet. Without these DLLs, the windows version will not function. Do NOT post questions or problems to the forum regarding the windows version. At present, there is no support provided.
