Introduction

Aircrack-ng is an 802.11 WEP and WPA-PSK keys cracking program that can recover keys once enough data packets have been captured. It implements the standard FMS attack along with some optimizations like KoreK attacks, as well as the all-new PTW attack, thus making the attack much faster compared to other WEP cracking tools. In fact, Aircrack-ng is a set of tools for auditing wireless networks.

Aircrack-ng is the next generation of aircrack with lots of new features:

News

31 January 2009We are pleased to announce the release of the Slitaz Aircrack-ng Distribution which can be run off a CD or USB. The USB version also allows for persistent changes.
22 January 2009Aircrack-ng 1.0rc2 is released. Updating is recommended, there was a lot of bug fixes and improvments and 2 new tools were added: airdecloak-ng and tkiptun-ng. On Aircrack-ng, WPA bugs should be fixed and speed was greatly improved for computers that supports SSE2. Latest version of Airgraph-ng and Airoscript were included in this release.
27 December 2008We are at 25C3 and I took a phone. The phone number is 5500 and it is linked to a real phone number: +49 (0)4615056623 5500.
20 December 2008The forum is back online.
7 December 2008The forum is currently down. We are currently working on this issue.
3 December 2008For those who wondered what became airoscript, it is alive. XayOn has been working on it for a few weeks and he just released a new version.
17 November 2008I'll give a workshop about WPA at INTROMISÓN (UNAM University in Mexico) next week.
8 November 2008You can get the correct information about the recent news on WPA by reading this ars technica article Battered, but not broken: understanding the WPA crack by Glenn Fleishman. As well, here is the paper, Practical attacks against WEP and WPA written by Martin Beck and Erik Tews. The paper describes advanced attacks on WEP and the first practical attack on WPA.
8 November 2008The address for the workshop this sunday in Brussels (at Okno) is confirmed: http://hsb.wikidot.com/aircrackng .
7 November 2008The start of the Techniques Papers section of the links page contains articles which describe the new WPA/TKIP exploit.
7 November 2008Here is a tarball (aircrack-ng-svn-trunk-current.tar.gz) of our subversion repository (trunk, revision 1208). It already contains tkiptun-ng and airdecloak-ng.
6 November 2008I'd like to react to the recent WPA news on slashdot, PCworld, ITworld, cnet and others because they are mixing a lot of information: Martin Beck, a member of the team, is the author of the new tool but not the author of aircrack-ng suite. You can get more information about this new tool here (including installation instructions). More information will be given tomorrow.
6 November 2008The tool to filter wep cloaking announced at defcon 16 is now published (in our subversion repository): airdecloak-ng.
4 November 2008Aircrack-ng logo has now more than 2 years, it's getting old and we would like to have a new logo. That's why we are launching a contest. The prize is a t-shirt with the new logo. More information can be found here
4 November 2008Some more information about the workshop: there's no admission fee, you don't have to pay or register to attend it. The workshop will be done in english. Last but not least, it is not only for experts, it's also for beginners. I'll take some hardware, so don't forget to bring your laptop if you want to play with wireless.
27 October 2008I'll give a workshop about aircrack-ng at Brussels the 9 November 2008 at 14h (2pm). It should be done at Okno (Koolmijnenkaai 30/34 Quai aux Charbonnages – 1080 Brussel). Bring your laptop. The address will be confirmed here the day before.
26 October 2008Defcon presentation is available in PDF and there's also the video
15 August 2008Defcon ath5k frequency patch is avalaible on patches.aircrack-ng.org. The presentation will be available soon.
22 June 2008ph-neutral pictures are now published (photos.aircrack-ng.org).
9 June 2008Aircrack-ng 1.0 rc1 is now released.
12 May 2008A new version of the VMware appliance is released (drivers and aircrack-ng updated and added rt73 driver).

Current version

Latest version: 1.0-rc2

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.

Changelog

  • aircrack-ng: Added SSE2 supports (WPA cracking speed is improved a lot) thanks to nx5.
  • aircrack-ng: Fixed detection of the number of CPU (especially with recent CPUs).
  • aircrack-ng: Fixed long lasting WPA bugs: cannot find the key with SMP computers, wasn't exiting correctly, …
  • aircrack-ng: Fixed usage of a dictionnary with WEP.
  • aircrack-ng: Now only display ASCII WEP keys when 100% of the hex key can be converted to ASCII.
  • aircrack-ng: You can now specify the number of threads for cracking even if you have a non-SMP computer.
  • aircrack-ng: Now output an error message if using -r and it wasn't compiled with sqlite support. It was a problem on some ubuntu.
  • airdecloak-ng: New tool to remove wep cloaked frames from a pcap file. For more details see http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=airdecloak-ng
  • airodump-ng: Added kismet csv output support.
  • airodump-ng: Fixed power value display (for ath interface with a high number, more than 99).
  • airodump-ng: Can work on the new frequencies (allowed by frequency Chaos patch).
