Aircrack-ng for Windows Main:

Last Update: April 2010

Project Homepage: http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php

Aircrack-ng is the next generation of Christophe Devine's excellent aircrack suite of tools. 

Installing Aircrack-ng for Windows:

Project Homepage: http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php

NOTE: Only a relatively small number of Wireless cards are supported under the Windows version of Aircrack-ng .  See the Project Homepages compatibility list for full details.

NOTE: For the standard user we recommend not using greater than version aircrack-ng-0.9.3-win as aircrack-ng-1.0-win and above requires the use of cygwin and custom .dll files.

Ensure you have the appropriate windows monitor mode drivers installed for your card (not the standard drivers that came with your card).

Download aircrack-ng-0.9.3-win.zip for Windows from: http://www.aircrack-ng.org/ 

Download Peek.zip which contains: PEEK.DLL, PEEK5.SYS and MSVCR70.DLL from http://www.tuto-fr.com/tutoriaux/crack-wep/fichiers/wlan/winxp/Peek.zip

Extract aircrack-ng-0.9.3.zip to C:\

Extract Peek.zip (i.e. the files Peek.dll, Peek5.sys and msvcr70.dll) into the directory: C:\aircrack-0.9.3-win\bin

cd C:\aircrack-ng-0.9.3-win\bin

Run airodump-ng.exe or aircrack-ng GUI.exe and hopefully you'll have an interactive window to interact with your wireless card.

Job done : )

There is a nice troubleshooting guide on the project homepage if you have any issues: http://aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=airodump-ng#windows_specific

The Tools: 

• Airodump an 802.11 packet capture utility

   

• Aircrack a WEP/WPA key cracking tool

   

• Airdecap a WEP/WPA file capture decryption tool

   

• Arpforge an ARP packet forger

   

• Ivstools a a utility to merge .ivs files and extract ivs from pcap files

   

• Makeivs a utility for generating .ivs capture files for testing or demo purposes

NOTE: The Linux version of Aircrack/Aircrack-ng is superior to the Windows version in that it also offers packet injection capabilities with the use of the aireplay utility.
