Linux-related stub?[edit]

How is this a Linux-related stub? Putting aside the fact that it runs on Linux, there is no relationship between this and Linux. It runs on windows, but I don't see a Windows-related stub. I have removed this and if I am in error, feel free to replace it.

This page needs updating![edit]

the wiki for aircrack-ng has had a lot of information added to it over the last 18 months, this wikipedia entry is missing a lot of information about this product. The latest version is 0.9.4 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.241.11.36 (talk) 02:22, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

iPhone[edit]

Do we really need to have a whole section on the iPhone port, if it's only a proof of concept and not functional? I say remove the section and merge it into a sentence in the other part of the article. 97.117.2.59 (talk) 06:19, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think so; removing the section and mentioning above. Also fixing the discussion of a port to Maemo devices, as that's Linux, too. 129.74.64.45 (talk) 01:35, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And it looks like Zaurus is mentioned separately, too; maybe long-term there should be a section about mobile devices mentioning all three, but for now, merging them all. 129.74.64.45 (talk) 01:37, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You can crack wep with Aircrack-ng on an ipod touch apparently.[edit]

I saw my friend break into a wep encrypted network with his ipod touch in under a minute. I don't know exactly how he did it (I didn't read all the commands he was typing in) but he said he was using Aircrack-ng. To be fair this network was misconfigured and had a very large amount of background traffic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Foxale08 (talk • contribs) 23:39, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I know this is not currently possible. The basic things required for aircrack-ng to be used are:

a wireless card that supports packet injection
a driver for the wireless card that can put it in monitor mode (and inject packets)
general software compatibility

Of course, general software compatibility can be solved, and in some cases has. I think the wireless cards on iOS devices do support packet injection, but the drivers have never been fully worked out. You can run aircrack-ng on firmware version 1.x and 2.x, but not capture or inject the packets. … so even now, you still need a computer to do 90% of the work. ~rezecib ^(talk) 06:47, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Legal issues[edit]

Can someone who is familiar with such matters add some notes about the legality of operating this software in different regions? Bdforbes (talk) 03:24, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

PTW Attack[edit]

There isn't a link (neither external) to the new WEP attack. --93.67.6.109 (talk) 10:55, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Images[edit]

Hello everyone! I will continue to try to improve this article. However, I would like to ask for an external opinion regarding the images: At first I thought about taking a screenshot for each tool to demonstrate its functionality, but that might be beyond the scope of the page (WP:IG).

There are certainly some images that are more important than others (like the one on the Infobox demonstrating the functionality of the main tool), so I assume the options are at least 3:

Remove all images and leave only the one in the Infobox.
Keep the picture in the Infobox and maybe put maybe 2 or 3 more in the article for the "most important" tools (airodump-ng, airmon-ng...).
Put a gallery at the end of the article with most, if not all, screenshots of the tools for a demo.

I think I'll stop adding screenshots in the meantime, but still post them on Commons. Suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you and kind regards, IrrationalBeing (talk) 09:34, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
