A few things happened last month:
- The google phone, Nexus One was rooted and it has a bcm4329 chipset and it looks promising.
- Airodump-ng (in svn trunk) now has interactive mode: you can control it with keys. You can find the documentation in the wiki.
- A really small (only 10MB) distribution based on MicroCore Linux, console only.
- I'm sure you saw it, Backtrack 4 was released a few weeks ago.
- OSX Compiling (Ticket 687) should be fixed now (svn trunk revision 1657).
- New version of Beini: 1.0 RC5.2
- The developement of the GUI in C# (Mono) is quite active.
Last but not least, aircrack-ng will be 4 years old by the end of february :)

Wiki and Trac search engine
The wiki and trac implement OpenSearch and when the browser notice there's an OpenSearch on the website, it add a small notification on which your can click to add the search engine:
Firefox shows it with a light blue shadow on the icon of the search textbox like that:

IE shows changes the color of the search engine selection to orange:

Just click on it, and you can add wiki and trac search engines to your favorite browser:

Trac, bugs, forum and t-shirts
Actually, trac is not completely working. It's better than before, we can commit but now we can't see them in the timeline and also the source browser is not working anymore.
I tried to debug a few days ago but I haven't found why it doesn't work. The path to the svn repository is correct, permissions of trac and on the filesystem are correct so I'm a bit out of ideas.
About the commits, I updated to 1.0 and tagged it and also committed a few patches to fix bugs:
- Client first seen and last seen in kismet netxml file
- Compilation on cygwin 1.7
- OSX patch: Ticket 653: Tap support for Darwin/OS X
- Other small things
The next bugs I'll take care of are:
- Ticket 704: Fix broadcast and multicast detection in aircrack-ng: it still require some work.
- Ticket 498: Aircrack-ng does not support dictionaries over 2Gb
- I'd like to fix another compilation bug on OSX (Ticket 687) but I don't have access to any Mac so if anyone could give me an access to a mac with Darwin and another with Leopard, that's great :). If anybody is getting rid of a Mac with darwin/leopard, we are really interested.
- Ticket 713: Invalid channel parsed from packets with mac80211 drivers
I haven't chosen the other bugs yet, but I still have in mind that WPA handshake detection has to be fixed/enhanced and I remember a bug with airbase-ng not giving the Information Elements in the right order.
There are a few interesting programs and scripts in the forum, and I'd like to give them more visibility (and even small scripts). What are your ideas/opinion about it?
I haven't forgotten the t-shirts. They will be there soon. I might do a few with the new logo for Shmoocon.
Edit (16 Jan 2010): Added one more bug to the list

Happy new year, news, etc ...
Hello everybody,
First of all, we wish you a happy new year.
There was no news here and no commit on trac since some time but we never stoppped working. Although svn commit wasn't working for us (see previous blog entry for more details), we used the tickets to store all patches that have to be committed.
But I now have some good news, trac is working again. Don't ask me why, I have absolutely no idea, and I didn't change anything (except doing the usual updates).
So that means I'll commit everything to sync svn with 1.0 final and then start committing all patches that were added to tickets since August (that's when svn commit stopped working) and others that were planned for 1.1. That will take a few days :)
I'll also try to update this blog at least once a month to tell you what happened during the last month in our forum, trac and on IRC.
Here are a few things that happened recently:
- Online WPA cracking services: with cloud computing that was launched begin december then now with GPU.
- Injection and packet capture with aircrack-ng seems to work with the Nokia N900. I also read that it will have USB host soon.
- Beini 1.0-RC5.1: A wireless network security testing system,it is based on Tiny Core Linux.
- GUI for aircrack-ng in C# using Mono.
- minidwep-gtk a GUI for aircrack-ng in shell script.
- Slitaz Aircrack-ng: the base Slitaz cooking version plus the latest Aircrack-ng SVN version, wireless drivers patched for injection and other related tools.
I am also currently installing a new server (Core i5 2.66Ghz, 8Gb Ram, 2x 80Gb SSD) for aircrack-ng. That will allow us to organize better the different parts and give a better service to our ever growing community ;).
Our webhoster offers ESXi and I first wanted to use it to virtualize our stuff but it takes too much time to stabilize it (and IP management is a bit tricky/expensive) and since I didn't wanted to wait any longer, I switched to vmware server for the different parts:
- trac and buildbot.
- forum.
- downloads: videos, patches, storage, archive, nightly builds, ... (we currently have around 20Gb of stuff).
- photos and videos of the conventions (btw, I'll soon post the pictures I took during 26C3 and of other conventions).
- a few other virtual machines for testing.
The main website and wiki will not be moved.
Last but not least, I would also like to thank again everybody who help us, not only the donations (although important to pay the servers and domains), but everybody who contributes to the project: in the forum, irc, in the wiki (documentation and translations), bug reports and bug fixes, improvements, ...
More to come in the following days :)

Aircrack-ng 1.0
Yes, 1.0 final, finally :)
There are not much changes compared to the 1.0rc4, just a few fixes. Here is the changelog:
- airserv-ng: Now works fine between 32 and 64bit OSes.
- wesside-ng: Fixed some endianness bugs
- airodump-ng-oui-update: Make sure the user is root when updating the file.
- airmon-ng: Updated iw download link (0.9.17).
- All: Fixed compilation with some gcc.
- patches: Added missing patches from patches.aircrack-ng.org: mac80211_2.6.28-rc4-wl_frag+ack_v3.patch
- manpage: Updated aireplay-ng manpage.
- INSTALLING: Removed (now) useless requirement for OSX installation.
- GUI (windows): Fixed 2nd selection of a capture file.
For those who use subversion, the sources are not in sync with the trunk. The reason is that svn commit is currently broken.
It broke during a Debian update and we're still trying to figure out how to fix it (It should be fixed by the end of September in one way or another). We've pinpointed the issue and found that the reason is because of the authentication but since we did not change anything to the configuration, I have no idea why it suddenly broke. If anybody knows how to fix it, that would be great.
Last but not least, we're also launching the new website (and logo) as explained in a previous post: New Stuff. Feedback is welcome.

Contests @ Brucon Wireless workshops
UPDATE (Brucon): Please don't crack networks where you were not given permission to crack, thank you.
Brucon is getting closer :)
As I said, I'll give a workshop friday (17h00) and saturday (09h00, I know, it's early) and there will be 2 contests (one each day). The winner will receive an ALFA AWUS036E with a 5dbi antenna:

They will be run during the workshop and for both of them you need a laptop and a wireless card. You can use the tools of your choice.
- The first one, friday, you'll have to find an access point outside the convention area.
- And saturday, you'll have to crack the key of an access point (I haven't decided yet if it will be WEP or WPA).
More details will be given during the workshops.

New stuff
Hello everybody,
sorry for not posting anything since some time now, but we have been really busy these days and we got new stuff for you:
- 1.0 rc4 last week
- 1.0 final release date
- Planned features in 1.1
- New logo
- New website
I guess you saw there was a release, 1.0rc4 a bit more than a week ago.
This fixes a lot of stuff (and add some new). It fixes compilation not only on linux but also on BSD plateforms (OpenBSD compilation is fixed) and others ...
The changelog speaks by itself ;)
Here are some planned features for 1.1:
- Be able to use directly cowpatty tables in aircrack-ng (without having to convert them to airolib-ng).
- OSX capture (and maybe injection) with some adapters (Ticket #653).
- Improved WPA handshake detection.
- Bug fixes (of course)
- ...
We also have been working on a new website. Here is a preview: http://www.aircrack-ng.org/new_index.html.
The goal of this new design is to be able to reduce the traffic on the website, currently around 1Tb each month and also to be give a quick access to important information.
As explained in an earlier post, it will not replace the wiki, it will just be the home page and be next to the wiki (you can keep all your bookmarks).
If you (still) have any remark (or improvements) about the new design, you can still post them in the forum (you don't need to register to post).
The logo contest is over and we have a new logo. Here is a preview (winner: segini75). We will also sell t-shirts soon (I know a good website for europe but I still have to find one for the US).
Last but not least, the new website (and new logo) will be launched at the same time as the 1.0 final release in a week or two if no big bugs are found in rc4 :)
