Aircrack 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, thus making the attack much faster compared to other WEP cracking tools

Many changes for beta 1.0 release :

  • airodump-ng: Added –berlin option (see code for more information).
  • airodump-ng: Fixed 100% cpu utilization while channelhopping on rtap interface
  • airodump-ng: Fixed frame length < 10bytes bug
  • airodump-ng: Added out-of-monitor-mode, channel hop and interface down detection
  • airodump-ng: Fixed debian bug #417388: airodump-ng doesn’t restore terminal after error
  • airodump-ng: Fixed opening the same interface more than once
  • airodump-ng: Fixed PWR values for some drivers
  • airodump-ng: Fixed airodump sanity check (resulted in showing WPA networks without CIPHER & AUTH)
  • airodump-ng: Added †-f†to set the time in ms between hopping channels
  • airodump-ng: Added partial 40bit WEP detection
  • airodump-ng: Added †–showack†to print statistics about ack/cts and rts frames
  • airodump-ng: Added †-h†to hide the known stations in ack statistics
  • airodump-ng: Added †-r†to read packets from a pcap file
  • aircrack-ng: Added BSSID merge option
  • aircrack-ng: Added passive ptw attack (using also IP packets for cracking)
  • aircrack-ng: Made ptw attack default, for korek attack use -K
  • aircrack-ng: Fixed huge memory usage with ptw attack on hundreds of APs
  • aircrack-ng: Added -M paramteter for specifying maximum number of IVs to be read
  • aircrack-ng: Changed ptw testpackets from first to random (fixes invalidation of found keys)
  • aircrack-ng: Added –wep-decloak mode
  • aircrack-ng: Added –ptw-debug to allow klein or ptw disabling
  • aircrack-ng: PTW: Starts a new process group
  • aircrack-ng: Increased PTW key checking speed by 20%
  • aircrack-ng: Try 1000 40bit keys befor starting 104bit cracking, to get the key “instantly†without waiting for 104 bit to fail
  • aircrack-ng: Fixed not shown ascii keys, when found key was shorter than expected
  • aircrack-ng: Added visual inspection of the different keybytes (–visual-inspection).
  • airdecap-ng: Fixed bug in calc_pmk() function causes wrong PMK to be computed
  • aireplay-ng: Added usage of RTS/CTS, auth and ACK to –test (more stable and faster)
  • aireplay-ng: Added TCP connection test to –test
  • aireplay-ng: Changed injection rate to be more stable
  • aireplay-ng: Made essid argument optional - sniffs the essid if its broadcasted
  • aireplay-ng: Made src mac argument (-h) optional - uses default interface mac
  • aireplay-ng: Added bitrate test to –test (-B)
  • aireplay-ng: Fixed 100% cpu utilization in –test
  • aireplay-ng: Added –fast switch to use first available packet without interaction
  • aireplay-ng: chopchop now tries header recreation workaround if icv check failed
  • aireplay-ng: Fixed seq field for fragment attack
  • aireplay-ng: Now works with rtc_cmos
  • aireplay-ng: Added automatic channel changing in –test to AP channel
  • aireplay-ng: Added channel synchonisation for –test between cards
  • aireplay-ng: Added possibility to limit injection test to one AP †-a†or †-eâ€
  • aireplay-ng: Added BSSID/ESSID detection, so it can be enough to specify one option
  • makeivs-ng: Added parameters to set length, number and first IV of generated IVs
  • makeivs-ng: Added possibility to generate IVs sequentially or randomly
  • makeivs-ng: Added parameters to set percentage of false and dupe frames
  • makeivs-ng: Added 256bit wep support
  • packetforge-ng: Added support for generating more than on packet
  • patches: updated rtl8187 patch for 2.6.22
  • patches: updated zd1211rw patch for 2.6.22
  • New IVS format for storing all relevant data
  • Auto-creation of rtap interface if it doesn’t exist (ipw2200)
  • Better acx, rtl8180, orinoco and madwifi-ng detection
  • Using OpenSSL instead of build-in crypto
  • Added library rx/tx support
  • Added airpcap rx/tx support
  • Added airdriver-ng script for installing and managing patched drivers
  • Added wesside-ng as an all in one tool for recovering the wep-key
  • Added easside-ng for realtime decryption (instant rx/tx) of wep frames
  • Added buddy-ng as loopback server for easside-ng
  • Added airserv-ng - server for rx/tx on another system
  • Added airolib-ng for using hash tables to crack wpa/wpa2 psk (supports cowpatty rainbow tables)
  • Fixed compilation of optimized binaries with icc
  • Fixed compilation on FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and MacOSX
  • Better WDS handling and display
  • Added detection and removal of trailing fcs checksum
  • Fixed several memory leaks
  • Fixed being root when connecting to airserv-ng
  • Added OpenBSD sniffing support
