Download Airodump-ng For Mac
Aircrack-ng: Download and Install. The Latest Version Only: If you really want to hack WiFi – do not. Download and install MacPorts The MacPorts Project is an open-source community initiative to design an easy-to-use system for compiling, installing, and upgrading either command-line, X11 or Aqua based open-source software on the Mac OS X operating system. This command makes airodump-ng sniff traffic from the specified BSSID in channel 11, on which the target AP is running. It will write these packets to a local file called ConnectMeCrack. Aireplay-ng is included in the aircrack-ng package and is used to inject wireless frames. Its main role is to generate traffic for later use in aircrack-ng for cracking WEP and WPA-PSK keys. Aireplay-ng has many attacks that can deauthenticate wireless clients for the purpose of capturing WPA handshake data, fake authentications, interactive packet replay, hand-crafted ARP request injection.
Airodump-ng -w -c –bssid MAC of target access point As you can see I am saving the captured packets to a local directory on my system, and I set the channel and BSSID to the channel and bossed indicated in our initial scan.
Introduction to Aircrack-ng Suite of Tools
Hello friends,
This is the First part of Chapter 3 from the “Rootsh3ll WiFi Security and Pentesting Series”. In case you missed the series you can start following here.
In Chapter 2, We will cover:
- Introduction to Aircrack-ng Suite of tools
- Introduction to Wireshark
- WEP cracking using Aircrack-ng
- WPA/WPA2 Personal cracking using Aircrack-ng
- WPS cracking
As every topic above is crucial to understand, This chapter will have a dedicated post on each topic. Hence, the first part(out of 5) will cover the “Introduction to Aircrack-ng Suite of tools“

When we begin and expertise in wireless hacking, some helpful tools are always with the Hacker, Aircrack-ng suite of tools
What is Aircrack-ng ?
Aircrack-ng is a suite of tools use by beginners and experts for Wireless sniffing, cracking and creating rogue AP’s.
Conventional definition goes like :
Aircrack-ng is an 802.11 WEP and WPA-PSK keys cracking program that can recover keys once enough data packets have been captured
Aircrack-ng suite include tools like:
- Airmon-ng
- Airodump-ng
- Airbase-ng
- Aireplay-ng
- Airolib-ng
- Aircrack-ng
- and lots more
We will discuss about the tools above, as they are most frequently used tools and used in almost every Wireless Pentest.
Aircrack-ng comes for Linux, Mac, and Windows and comes pre-installed in Kali Linux. We can manually install Aircrack-ng on Linux, Mac or Windows.
Download Aircrack-ng
Latest version of Aircrack-ng can be downloaded from its official site, Aircrack-ng.org
For Linux and Mac, it can be installed from source code, and
For Windows, Aircrack-ng provides pre-compiled binaries. You can download the zip here
Install Aircrack-ng
In Windows, Aircrack-ng comes in a download-and-execute pre-compiled binary package.
Installing on Windows:
- Unzip aircrack-ng*.zip (aircrack-ng-1.2-rc2-win.zip, as latest version)
- Start using
Here is complete tutorial on installing on windows
There are 2 ways of installing Aircrack-ng in Linux:
- Using terminal
- Using source-code
We will take an example of
Installing Aircrack-ng on Ubuntu
From Terminal:
apt-get is the package installer in Ubuntu.
different distributions have different package installers.
example,
For Red Hat: yum
Arch Linux: pacman
Debian(Kali Linux): apt-get, or aptitude
to install in your distribution type the above command just replace apt-get with your package installer.
From Source code:
Installing aircrack-ng from source code on any distribution is quite the same, because the code is written in C language and the C compiler on the system automatically compiles the code for the installed operating system.
Lets see how to install from source code,
Open Terminal and type:
Here, we changed the directory to Desktop. and downloaded the source code using wget command.
Extracted the downloaded tar.gz file using tar command
Why we are using sqlite=true is to add Airolib-ng support in the Aircrack-ng. We well see the use of Airolib-ng for Boosting WPA2 cracking speed in upcoming chapters.
For installing on Mac OS X you can click here
Now lets start using the aircrack-ng suite of tools
1. Make sure your wireless card is connected. Then open Terminal.
2. Type ifconfig and check your wireless interface, wlan3 in my case and we will be using wlan3 in the tutorial
If you type iwconfig wlan3 you should get something like this:
You can see Mode:Managed, now
What is managed mode ?
By default our wireless card works on Managed mode i.e it will only accept the traffic from the Access point it is associated(connected) to.
And for Wireless sniffing our card has to be in monitor mode so that it can receive traffic from any Wireless network without associating with it.
Here comes the first tool of Aircrack-ng suite of tools.
Airmon-ng
This tools is used to put the wireless card from Managed to Monitor mode and Vice-versa. Lets see how to put wireless card into monitor mode.
Put card into Monitor mode:
It will create an interface with name mon0, check using ifconfig.
Put card into Managed mode:
Here mon0 can be replaced by mon1, mon2, etc if multiple monitor interfaces are running.
Now we need to start sniffing the air. It can be done using
Airodump-ng
Airodump-ng allows us to
- Sniff the air using mon0 interface
- Dumping the captured packets into a “.cap” file, and
- Lots of INFORMATION !!!
Lets start airodump-ng
This is the basic command to run airodump-ng on mon0 interface.
It will show an out put screen like this:
We will cover the important information from the above output.
Line 1:
CH 4: Channel on which our card is currently scanning.
NOTE: As Wireless card is a type of radio, it can work on one channel at a time. You will see the Channel no. changing very frequently, this is called Time Division Multiplexing.
others are time elapsed and current Date-Time.
Line 3:
BSSID(Basic Service Set IDentifier) : MAC address of the Access point.
PWR: Signal strength of the incoming network, SI unit is dBm, greater the value in negative, weaker the signal strength.
ENC: Encryption type. can be Open, WEP, WPA/WPA2
ESSID: Access point name
Line 10:
Station: Client that is associated with the corresponding BSSID
Probe: Request sent by the Client for the Access point it was previously connected to. “rootsh3ll” in this case, see Line 13.
Press CTRL-C to stop scanning.
Data packets can be captured and saved into file using -w option with airodump-ng. Example
Avs video converter mac download. Press ^C to quit and Type ls test_data_capture*
Here airodump-ng has saved the output in .cap, .csv and .netxml format for different use.
We will use .cap file for our cracking process in this series.
Above steps has to be followed in every Pentest we will do. We will see the use of remaining tools
- Airbase-ng
- Aireplay-ng
- Airolib-ng
- Aircrack-ng
in upcoming chapters accordingly.
Conclusion
We learned to install aircrack-ng on Linux and windows systems. Putting wireless card on monitor mode and scanning the air and saving the information to a file for future use. as it will be used in WEP and WPA/WPA2 cracking.
