Starting Aircrack -ng

**0DegreesKelvin** · June 7th, 2011

I've installed it using Synaptic Package Manager, but I can't find how to actually start the bloody thing >.<

Google searches don't turn it up, either. Thanks for the help!

I don't know if they can show you how to use that here. It might just be against the rules. I don't know.

What wireless card are you using?

**0DegreesKelvin** · June 7th, 2011

I doubt it's against the rules. It's not a horrible program, per se. It's "Wireless Defense". Erm, I don't have a wireless card just yet, I just want to know how to start the program.

You need a wireless card.

Yes, Aircrack-ng is a set of tools for auditing wireless networks.

If you were looking for a GUI to pop up, it won't. There are other programs with GUI's for aircrack but I haven't tried any. Look at BackTrack and SpoonWEP if your looking for wireless security.

aircrack-ng is a command line tool, type man aircrack-ng in terminal for help.
if you want a gui there are some you can get here, also you have to have a supported wireless card, not every wireless card driver works with aircrack-ng.
