 This tutorial will give you the basics to get started using the aircrack-ng suite.  It is impossible to provide every piece of information you need and cover every scenario.  So be prepared to do some homework and research on your own.  The [[https://forum.aircrack-ng.org/|Forum]] and the [[main|Wiki]] have lots of supplementary tutorials and information. This tutorial will give you the basics to get started using the aircrack-ng suite.  It is impossible to provide every piece of information you need and cover every scenario.  So be prepared to do some homework and research on your own.  The [[https://forum.aircrack-ng.org/|Forum]] and the [[main|Wiki]] have lots of supplementary tutorials and information.

 First, you need to know which chipset is used in your wireless card and which driver you need for it. You will have determined this using the information in the previous paragraph.  The [[install_drivers|drivers section]] will tell you which drivers you need. First, you need to know which chipset is used in your wireless card and which driver you need for it.

-As I own a Ralink USB device, I am providing the steps to get it working with Aircrack-ng.  Before you are able to compile and install drivers, you need the kernel-sources for your distribution installed.  
- 
-If you own another type of card, check the [[install_drivers|installing drivers page]] for instructions about other drivers.  As well, do a search in the net if you're unsure how to install them.

-===== RaLink USB rt2570 Setup guide ===== 
- 
-If you own a rt2570 USB device (like D-Link DWL-G122 rev. B1 or Linksys WUSB54G v4) you should use the drivers from [[https://web.archive.org/web/20140430151116/http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~p_larbig/wlan/|http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~p_larbig/wlan/]] These are special modified drivers, which support injection and are reported to work best with Aircrack-ng. They don't need to be patched. Of course these drivers do also work for normal operation. (Starting with kernel 2.6.25 and Aircrack-ng v1.0-rc1, the in-kernel driver, rt2500usb, can also be used.) 
- 
-Lets unpack, compile and install the drivers: 
- 
-  tar xfj rt2570-k2wrlz-1.3.0.tar.bz2 
-  cd rt2570-k2wrlz-1.3.0/Module 
-  make 
-  make install 
- 
-The last step has to be performed as root. Use su to change to root. 
-Now we can load the module into the kernel: 
-  modprobe rt2570 
- 
-Plug in your card, it should be recognized as rausb0 now. Run iwconfig to list your wireless devices and check if everything is working.

-==== Source ==== +Get the latest copy of aircrack-ng from the [[main|homepage]], use our packages or use a penetration testing distribution such as Kali Linux or Pentoo where Aircrack-ng is already installed and up to date.
- +
-Get the latest copy of aircrack-ng from the [[main|homepage]]. +
-The following commands would have to be changed if you use a newer version of the software. +
- +
-Unpacking, compiling, installing: +
- +
-  tar xfz aircrack-ng-1.4.tar.gz +
-  cd aircrack-ng-1.4 +
-  autoreconf -i +
-  ./configure --with-experimental +
-  make +
-  make install +
- +
-As usual, the last step needs to be performed as root, use **su** or **sudo -s** to login as root (use **sudo make** install for Ubuntu). +
- +
-==== YUM ==== +
- +
-**WARNING!!!** Currently, neither of the repositories hosts the latest version of Aircrack-ng. It's recommended that you use the first method instead. +
- +
-If you are using a system like Redhat Linux or Fedora Core you can install aircrack-ng with yum. First you have to add the repository of [[http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/|Dag Wieers]] or [[http://dries.studentenweb.org/rpm/|Dries]]. +
- +
-  su +
-  yum -y install aircrack-ng +
- +
-==== RPM ==== +
- +
-**WARNING!!!** Currently, neither of the repositories hosts the latest version of Aircrack-ng. It's recommended that you use the first method instead. +
- +
-If you are using a system which is rpm-based then you can take the easy way to install aircrack-ng. (Example for Redhat Linux 4) +
- +
-  su +
-  rpm -ihv http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/aircrack-ng/aircrack-ng-0.7-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm+
  
-IMPORTANT: Check http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/aircrack-ng/ for the latest version of the aircrack-ng suite and change the command above to reference the latest version.+To install aircrack-ng, refer to the documentation on the [[install_aircrack|installation page]].
