As described on their official website:
"Aircrack-ng is a complete suite of tools to assess Wi-Fi network security. It focuses on different areas of Wi-Fi 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 Wi-Fi cards and driver capabilities (capture and injection)
- Cracking: WEP and WPA PSK (WPA 1 and 2)"
Aircrack is a software suite for networks, which consists of a network detector, packet sniffer, and WEP/WPA2 cracker. It is open source and is built for 802.11 wireless LANs (for more information visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11). It consists of various tools, such as aircrack-ng
, airmon-ng
, airdecap
, aireplay-ng
, packetforge-ng
, and so on.
In this recipe, we will cover a bit basic of cracking wireless networks with Aircrack suite. You will learn to use tools such as airmon...
