Aircrack-ng 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, as well as the all-new PTW attack, thus making the attack much faster compared to other WEP cracking tools. In fact, Aircrack-ng is a set of tools for auditing wireless networks.

If you are impatient and want to know how to get started, jump to the Getting Started Tutorial.

Aircrack-ng is the next generation of aircrack with lots of new features:

• Better documentation (wiki, manpages) and support (Forum, trac, IRC: #aircrack-ng on Freenode).
• More cards/drivers supported
• More OS and platforms supported
• New WEP attack: PTW
• WEP dictionary attack
• Fragmentation attack
• WPA Migration mode
• Improved cracking speed
• Capture with multiple cards
• New tools: airtun-ng, packetforge-ng (improved arpforge), wesside-ng, easside-ng, airserv-ng, airolib-ng, airdriver-ng, airbase-ng, tkiptun-ng and airdecloak-ng
• Optimizations, other improvements and bug fixing
• …

25 May 13	1.2 Beta 1 Release	After a few years, we finally got a release: 1.2 Beta 1. Enjoy Release Notes: - Compilation fixes on all supported OSes. - Makefile improvement and fixes. - A lot of fixes and improvements on all tools and documentation. - Fixed licensing issues. - Added a few new tools and scripts (including distributed cracking tool). - Fixed endianness and QoS issues. Two more things: - The forum will be ready in a few days. - We are now using Travis CI for continuous integration.
20 May 2013	Forum/Trac/SVN/GitHub/release	Trac was migrated to a new server. URL didn't change and it is now also available via HTTPS. Subversion has been moved to another server/URL: http://svn.aircrack-ng.org. You can also use HTTPS but it's a self-signed certificate for now. Just relocate your local copy and you're good to go. The forum's cloud instance crashed a few weeks ago and the last backup I have is 10 month old. I am deeply sorry for the data loss. I wish I learned a different way to be more careful with backups but what is done is done :/ That backup will be available in read-only mode and I'll also install a brand new SMF. There will be some announcements once the new forum is installed. We also have a GitHub synced with our SVN thanks to clopez. There will be a release (alpha or beta) this upcoming week-end. A lot of improvements and fixes have been done since the last release a few years ago and this is probably the longest changelog we've ever had. More details about trac/svn and forum crash can be found in the blog.
01 Apr 2013	April Fools - Wirelessly controlled traffic lights	Serious security flaw found in new traffic lights. A new kind of traffic light being used is controlled by an Access Point with simple passphrase to access it. More details in the blog.
08 Oct 2012	Blog post: Will my card work with Aircrack-ng?	Due to the amount of questions about new card and Aircrack-ng compatibility, I made a blog post about it.

More news...

Latest version: 1.2 Beta 1

• Linux (Driver patches)
• Zaurus (1.0-dev r830; older than beta2)

IMPORTANT Information Regarding Windows Version IMPORTANT
The windows version requires you to develop your own DLLs to link aircrack-ng to your wireless card. The required DLLs are not provided in the download nor available anywhere on the Internet. Without these DLLs, the windows version will not function. Do NOT post questions or problems to the forum regarding the windows version. At present, there is no support provided.
