Aircrack-2.41 for Porteus 2.1

[wread]

Hi all!
aircrack is a set of tools for auditing wireless networks:

-airodump: 802.11 packet capture program
-aireplay: 802.11 packet injection program
-aircrack: static WEP and WPA-PSK key cracker
-airdecap: decrypts WEP/WPA capture files

You can download it from mediafire. There is basic documentation included in /usr/doc/aircrack. It is a CLI application.

Enjoy!

I imagine this is a software to be able to parasite somebody network without him knowing it. How good does it work?

It is a scientific tool to facilitate learning of hacking activities. Informatics students use it for research and study of net behaviour.

You're not far from red line. Be careful of the comments you post about a such software. This software is here to allow anyone to test any networks under his responsibilities or where he can test the level of security of a specific network.

13. Illegal activities - Please do not discuss illegal activities, such as cracking software, breaking into web sites, etc. on these forums. While such activities might not be illegal in all countries, this server is hosted in the Canada and, as such, must abide by Canada laws. By allowing discussions about illegal activities to take place on these forums, we may expose the Porteus project to unnecessary legal liability.

Anyway, thanks for sharing!

If you have the required Hardware and Drivers (must be able to capture all wifi-packets
flying around) you can crack a wep-secured Network in less than 1 hour.

But trying to crack a WPA/WPA2 Network is almost impossible. Yes you can capture
the 4-way-Handshake which includes the PW but it's not readable.So you have to compare it
with a very huge Wordlist.If the Pw is in the Wordlist you will have 100% success,
if not 0%.Time becomes the major Problem.It can take weeks/month to decode the PW.
and as I said If it isn't in the list...0% success.
As an result: If you have a wifi-PW which is no real Word and not to short you will
never crack it ( in reasonable time) with a standalone PC at home.

I'm sorry your post appeared while I've been typing mine,so please delete it if necessary.

Thanks for your comments; they are very appropriate for this delicate theme.
Security is indeed as important as one is aware of the own weaknesses. If you don't teach our weaknesses, we will feel strong without being so. Ignorance is the best friend of evil.

@donald:
So as most people are on wpa security nowadays, there is not much fear to have about being cracked or cracking somebody else. I understand that a lot of time could be lost into learning such strategies, which I will rather spend on more interesting activities whether they be computer wise or other.

Thanks for the clarifications. I think they have their place in this forum. 8)

@hamza:
In terms of illegal activities on the net, it is good to get to know the limits.

Thanks for setting them up clearly.

@francois

In your private habitat you might be feeling safe,but there are people out there,which are offering you to do the cracking of the captured "4-way-Handshake" for a small fee with their Bot-net

Call it paranoia....but to increase security,

you take a loooong, strong password ( a mix of all printable characters )
and change it from time to time.

You also should use the lastest available firmware for your AP.
and disable the WPS-functionality.

The best security hint ever
Take a cat5-cable

I mean we should open a Category in this forum, under OTHER, for instance, to discuss Security issues, in general...
¿What do you think??

[donald]

Discussing security issues is a good and a bad thing
If there are vulnerabilities, but nobody knows about it, you're safe.

[wread]

¿Really????

[donald]

no, not really, someone could find out

[wread]

Then let us discuss Security!

[donald]

OK,I agree

Ist es shönes Wetter in Berlin?
Hoffentlich habt Ihr einen sonnigen Sommer dieses Jahr!
