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). All tools are command line which allows for heavy scripting. A lot of GUIs have taken advantage of this feature. It works primarily on Linux but also Windows, macOS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, as well as Solaris and even eComStation 2. # Building ## Requirements * Autoconf * Automake * Libtool * shtool * OpenSSL development package or libgcrypt development package. * Airmon-ng (Linux) requires ethtool, usbutils, and often pciutils. * On Windows, cygwin has to be used and it also requires w32api package. * On Windows, if using clang, libiconv and libiconv-devel * Linux: LibNetlink 1 or 3. It can be disabled by passing --disable-libnl to configure. * pkg-config (pkgconf on FreeBSD, DragonFlyBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD) * FreeBSD, DragonFlyBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Solaris and OS X with Macports: gmake * Linux/Cygwin: make and Standard C++ Library development package (Debian: libstdc++-dev) Note: Airmon-ng only requires pciutils if the system has a PCI/PCIe bus and it is populated. Such bus can be present even if not physically visible. For example, it is present, and populated on the Raspberry Pi 4, therefore pciutils is required on that device. ## Optional stuff * If you want SSID filtering with regular expression in airodump-ng (--essid-regex) PCRE or PCRE2 development package is required. * If you want to use airolib-ng and '-r' option in aircrack-ng, SQLite development package >= 3.3.17 (3.6.X version or better is recommended) * If you want to use Airpcap, the 'developer' directory from the CD/ISO/SDK is required. * In order to build `besside-ng`, `besside-ng-crawler`, `easside-ng`, `tkiptun-ng` and `wesside-ng`, libpcap development package is required (on Cygwin, use the Airpcap SDK instead; see above) * rfkill * If you want Airodump-ng to log GPS coordinates, gpsd is needed * For best performance on SMP machines, ensure the hwloc library and headers are installed. It is strongly recommended on high core count systems, it may give a serious speed boost * CMocka and expect for testing * For integration testing on Linux only: tcpdump, HostAPd, WPA Supplicant and screen ## Installing required and optional dependencies Below are instructions for installing the basic requirements to build `aircrack-ng` for a number of operating systems. **Note**: CMocka, tcpdump, screen, HostAPd and WPA Supplicant should not be dependencies when packaging Aircrack-ng. ### Linux #### Arch Linux sudo pacman -Sy base-devel libnl openssl ethtool util-linux zlib libpcap sqlite pcre2 hwloc cmocka hostapd wpa_supplicant tcpdump screen iw usbutils pciutils expect #### Debian/Ubuntu sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config libnl-3-dev libnl-genl-3-dev libssl-dev ethtool shtool rfkill zlib1g-dev libpcap-dev libsqlite3-dev libpcre2-dev libhwloc-dev libcmocka-dev hostapd wpasupplicant tcpdump screen iw usbutils expect #### Fedora sudo yum install libtool pkgconfig sqlite-devel autoconf automake openssl-devel libpcap-devel pcre2-devel rfkill libnl3-devel gcc gcc-c++ ethtool hwloc-devel libcmocka-devel make file expect hostapd wpa_supplicant iw usbutils tcpdump screen zlib-devel expect #### CentOS/RHEL 7 sudo yum install epel-release sudo ./centos_autotools.sh # Remove older installation of automake/autoconf sudo yum remove autoconf automake sudo yum install sqlite-devel openssl-devel libpcap-devel pcre2-devel rfkill libnl3-devel ethtool hwloc-devel libcmocka-devel make file expect hostapd wpa_supplicant iw usbutils tcpdump screen zlib-devel **Note**: autoconf, automake, libtool, and pkgconfig in the repositories are too old.

In addition, it requires the location of your installation, a path to the cached packages download location, and a mirror URL. An example of automatically installing all the dependencies is as follows: c:\cygwin\setup-x86.exe -qnNdO -R C:/cygwin -s http://cygwin.mirror.constant.com -l C:/cygwin/var/cache/setup -P autoconf -P automake -P bison -P gcc-core -P gcc-g++ -P mingw-runtime -P mingw-binutils -P mingw-gcc-core -P mingw-gcc-g++ -P mingw-pthreads -P mingw-w32api -P libtool -P make -P python -P gettext-devel -P gettext -P intltool -P libiconv -P pkg-config -P git -P wget -P curl -P libpcre2-devel -P libssl-devel -P libsqlite3-devel #### MSYS2 pacman -Sy autoconf automake-wrapper libtool msys2-w32api-headers msys2-w32api-runtime gcc pkg-config git python openssl-devel openssl libopenssl msys2-runtime-devel gcc binutils make pcre2-devel libsqlite-devel ### GNU/Hurd #### Debian apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config libssl-dev shtool zlib1g-dev libpcap-dev libsqlite3-dev libpcre2-dev libhwloc-dev libcmocka-dev screen expect libbsd-dev ## Docker containers We have two repositories on DockerHub: - [aircrackng/release](https://hub.docker.com/r/aircrackng/release): Each release - [aircrackng/git](https://hub.docker.com/r/aircrackng/git): every commit in the git repository Base command for the `git` version: `sudo docker run --rm -it aircrackng/git` Available platforms/CPU architectures: - linux/386 (base image: debian:unstable-slim) - linux/amd64 (base image: debian:unstable-slim) - linux/arm/v5 (base image: debian:unstable-slim) - linux/arm/v6 (base image: alpine:3) - linux/arm/v7 (base image: debian:unstable-slim) - linux/arm64/v8 (base image: debian:unstable-slim) - linux/mips64le (base image: debian:unstable-slim) - linux/ppc64le (base image: debian:unstable-slim) - linux/riscv64 (base image: debian:unstable-slim) - linux/s390x (base image: debian:unstable-slim) ## Compiling To build `aircrack-ng`, the Autotools build system is utilized. Autotools replaces the older method of compilation. **NOTE**: If utilizing a developer version, eg: one checked out from source control, you will need to run a pre-`configure` script. The script to use is one of the following: `autoreconf -i` or `env NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh`. First, `./configure` the project for building with the appropriate options specified for your environment: ./configure <options> **TIP**: If the above fails, please see above about developer source control versions. Next, compile the project (respecting if `make` or `gmake` is needed): * Compilation: `make` * Compilation on *BSD or Solaris: `gmake` Finally, the additional targets listed below may be of use in your environment: * Execute all unit testing: `make check` * Execute all integration testing (requires root): `make integration` * Installing: `make install` * Uninstall: `make uninstall` ### `./configure` flags When configuring, the following flags can be used and combined to adjust the suite to your choosing: * **with-airpcap=DIR**: needed for supporting airpcap devices on Windows (Cygwin or MSYS2 only). Replace DIR above with the absolute location to the root of the extracted source code from the Airpcap CD or downloaded SDK available online. Required on Windows to build `besside-ng`, `besside-ng-crawler`, `easside-ng`, `tkiptun-ng` and `wesside-ng` when building experimental tools. The developer pack (Compatible with version 4.1.1 and 4.1.3) can be downloaded at https://support.riverbed.com/content/support/software/steelcentral-npm/airpcap.html * **with-experimental**: needed to compile `tkiptun-ng`, `easside-ng`, `buddy-ng`, `buddy-ng-crawler`, `airventriloquist` and `wesside-ng`. libpcap development package is also required to compile most of the tools. If not present, not all experimental tools will be built. On Cygwin, libpcap is not present and the Airpcap SDK replaces it. See --with-airpcap option above. * **with-ext-scripts**: needed to build `airoscript-ng`, `versuck-ng`, `airgraph-ng` and `airdrop-ng`. Note: Each script has its own dependencies. * **with-gcrypt**: Use libgcrypt crypto library instead of the default OpenSSL. And also use internal fast sha1 implementation (borrowed from GIT). Dependency (Debian): libgcrypt20-dev * **with-duma**: Compile with DUMA support. DUMA is a library to detect buffer overruns and underruns. Dependency (Debian): duma * **disable-libnl**: Set up the project to be compiled without libnl (1 or 3). Linux option only. * **without-opt**: Do not enable -O3 optimizations. * **enable-shared**: Make OSdep a shared library. * **disable-shared**: When combined with **enable-static**, it will statically compile Aircrack-ng. * **with-avx512**: On x86, add support for AVX512 instructions in aircrack-ng. Only use it when the current CPU supports AVX512. * **with-static-simd=<SIMD>**: Compile a single optimization in aircrack-ng binary. Useful when compiling statically and/or for space-constrained devices. Valid SIMD options: x86-sse2, x86-avx, x86-avx2, x86-avx512, ppc-altivec, ppc-power8, arm-neon, arm-asimd. Must be used with --enable-static --disable-shared. When using those 2 options, the default is to compile the generic optimization in the binary. --with-static-simd merely allows to choose another one. * **enable-maintainer-mode**: It is important to enable this flag when developing with Aircrack-ng. This flag enables additional compile warnings and safety features. #### Examples: * Configure and compiling: ``` ./configure --with-experimental make ``` * Compiling with gcrypt: ``` ./configure --with-gcrypt make ``` * Installing: `make install` * Installing (strip binaries): `make install-strip` * Installing, with external scripts: ``` ./configure --with-experimental --with-ext-scripts make make install ``` * Testing (with sqlite, experimental and pcre2) ``` ./configure --with-experimental make make check ``` * Compiling on OS X with macports (and all options): ``` ./configure --with-experimental gmake ``` * Compiling on macOS running on M1/AARCH64 and Homebrew: ``` autoreconf -vif env CPPFLAGS="-Wno-deprecated-declarations" ./configure --with-experimental make make check ``` * Compiling on OS X 10.10 with XCode 7.1 and Homebrew: ``` env CC=gcc-4.9 CXX=g++-4.9 ./configure make make check ``` *NOTE*: Older XCode ships with a version of LLVM that does not support CPU feature detection; which causes the `./configure` to fail. To work around this older LLVM, it is required that a different compile suite is used, such as GCC or a newer LLVM from Homebrew. If you wish to use OpenSSL from Homebrew, you may need to specify the location to its installation. To figure out where OpenSSL lives, run: `brew --prefix openssl` Use the output above as the DIR for `--with-openssl=DIR` in the `./configure` line: ``` env CC=gcc-4.9 CXX=g++-4.9 ./configure --with-openssl=DIR make make check ``` * Compiling on FreeBSD with gcc9 ``` env CC=gcc9 CXX=g++9 MAKE=gmake ./configure gmake ``` * Compiling on Cygwin with Airpcap (assuming Airpcap devpack is unpacked in Aircrack-ng directory) ``` cp -vfp Airpcap_Devpack/bin/x86/airpcap.dll src cp -vfp Airpcap_Devpack/bin/x86/airpcap.dll src/aircrack-osdep cp -vfp Airpcap_Devpack/bin/x86/airpcap.dll src/aircrack-crypto cp -vfp Airpcap_Devpack/bin/x86/airpcap.dll src/aircrack-util dlltool -D Airpcap_Devpack/bin/x86/airpcap.dll -d build/airpcap.dll.def -l Airpcap_Devpack/bin/x86/libairpcap.dll.a autoreconf -i ./configure --with-experimental --with-airpcap=$(pwd) make ``` * Compiling on DragonflyBSD with gcrypt using GCC 8 ``` autoreconf -i env CC=gcc8 CXX=g++8 MAKE=gmake ./configure --with-experimental --with-gcrypt gmake ``` * Compiling on OpenBSD (with autoconf 2.69 and automake 1.16) ``` export AUTOCONF_VERSION=2.69 export AUTOMAKE_VERSION=1.16 autoreconf -i env MAKE=gmake CC=cc CXX=c++ ./configure gmake ``` * Compiling and debugging aircrack-ng ``` export CFLAGS='-O0 -g' export CXXFLAGS='-O0 -g' ./configure --with-experimental --enable-maintainer-mode --without-opt make LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.libs gdb --args ./aircrack-ng [PARAMETERS] ``` # IDE development ## VS Code - devcontainers A VS Code development environment is provided, as is, for rapid setup of a development environment. This additionally adds support for GitHub Codespaces. ### Requirements The first requirement is a working [Docker Engine](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) environment. Next, an installation of [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) with the following extension(s): - [`Remote - Containers`](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers) by Microsoft. > The "Remote - Containers" extension will refuse to work with OSS Code. ### Usage 1. Clone this repository to your working folder: ``` $ git clone --recursive https://github.com/aircrack-ng/aircrack-ng.git $ cd aircrack-ng ``` 2. After cloning this repository, open the folder inside VS Code. ``` $ code . ``` > IMPORTANT: You should answer "Yes", if it asks if the folder should be opened inside a remote container. If it does not ask, then press `Ctrl+Shift+P` and type `open in container`. This should bring up the correct command, for which pressing enter will run said command. 3. A number of warnings might appear about a missing `compile_commands.json` file. These are safe to ignore for a moment, as this file is automatically generated after the initial compilation. 4. Now build the entire project by pressing `Ctrl+R` and selecting `Build Full` from the pop-up menu that appears. 5. VS Code should detect the `compile_commands.json` file and ask if it should be used; selecting "Yes, always" will complete the initial setup of a fully working IDE. > IMPORTANT: If it doesn't detect the file, pressing `Ctrl+Shift+P` and typing `reload window` will bring up the selection to fully reload the environment. 6. At this point, nearly all features of VS Code will function; from Intellisense, auto-completion, live documentation, to code formatting. Additionally, there are pre-configured tasks for builds and tests, as well as an example GDB/LLDB configuration for debugging `aircrack-ng`. # Packaging Automatic detection of CPU optimization is done at run time. This behavior **is** desirable when packaging Aircrack-ng (for a Linux or other distribution.) Also, in some cases it may be desired to provide your own flags completely and not having the suite auto-detect a number of optimizations. To do this, add the additional flag `--without-opt` to the `./configure` line: `./configure --without-opt` # Using pre-compiled binaries ## Linux/BSD Aircrack-ng is available in most distributions repositories. However, it is not always up-to-date. ## Windows * Install the appropriate "monitor" driver for your card; standard drivers don't work for capturing data. * Aircrack-ng suite is command line tools. So, you have to open a command-line `Start menu -> Run... -> cmd.exe` then use them * Run the executables without any parameters to have help # Documentation Some more information is present in the [README](README) file. Documentation, tutorials, ... can be found on https://aircrack-ng.org Support is available in the [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/aircrack-ng/aircrack-ng/discussions) and on IRC (in #aircrack-ng on Libera Chat). Every tool has its own manpage. For aircrack-ng, `man aircrack-ng` # Infrastructure sponsors
