Here is a summary of the changes:

• tkiptun-ng, easside-ng (and buddy-ng) and wesside-ng are not compiled by default, you have to append 'unstable=true' when compiling and installing
• CSV file extension has changed and has now .CSV as extension
• Kismet CSV file extension is now .kismet.csv
• Airodump-ng can generate kismet newcore NetXML files (.kismet.netxml) and thus should be compatible with GISkismet (however using GPSd currently cause corruption pcap corruption; that will be fixed in the next release).
  
• Fixed compiling on 64 bit.
• There's a patch for OSX (intel). You must apply it or aircrack-ng will not work correctly (instructions can be found in INSTALLING file).
• Added Active scanning simulation in airodump-ng.
  
• Various fixes.
  

Here is the complete changelog:

• airodump-ng: Added Active Scanning Simulation.
• airodump-ng: Added support for kismet-newcore netxml files (DTD v3.1.0)
• airodump-ng: Changed file extensions for CSV (.csv instead of .txt) and for kismet CSV (.kismet.csv instead of .csv).
• airodump-ng: Fixed WPA tag parsing and added QoS detection based on direction.
• airodump-ng: Added option to only disable capture file; all other files (CSV, kismet CSV, kismet netxml, GPS) will be created.
• aircrack-ng: Fixed -w with WEP.
• aircrack-ng: Fixed useless memory allocation.
• aircrack-ng: Fixed compilation with gcc 2.95.
• aircrack-ng: Fixed compilation on 64 bit (SHA-SSE2).

• airmon-ng: Updated iw download link (0.9.11).
• airmon-ng and airdriver-ng: Move them in script/ directory.
• airmon-ng: Bypass interface checks when ps command returns an error. Needed for BusyBox limited ps command.
• airdriver-ng: Update legacy RT73 driver to use rt73-k2wrlz v3.0.2
• tkiptun-ng: Allow padded arp packets to the client.
• airserv-ng & osdep: Fixed compilation on FreeBSD 7.1
• easside-ng & wesside-ng: Fixing again "Error Wrote 39 out of 30" error message.

• patches: Updated sqlite (v3.6.11) patch for cygwin.
• patches: Added patch for aircrack-ng on MacOSX
• scripts: Added a script to automatically patch and install SQLite in cygwin.

Forum up

The forum is finally up and everything is working fine:

• DNS updated
• Redirection works fine: all your bookmarks (and links in the forum) with the old address should redirect to the new one automatically (I was surprised to see new posts announced on IRC that still has the old RSS feed address). Technically, the old URL rewrite the URL to point to the new location with the parameters and uses a 301 to do that.
• Links (URLs, RSS) are updated on the wiki.
• No more glitches on the server. However if it happens, don't hesitate to send a mail to tdotreppe@aircrack-ng.org to tell me (with details).

Last but not least, the 1.0rc3 release should be done tomorrow if everything goes well (I told Murphy to leave me alone at least for a few days) :)

Forum down

As you saw, the forum has been down since a few hours, around 6pm GMT+1.

The reason is that the database size is really close to the allowed disk space and the hoster stopped it automatically. I moved it to another place (where we have much more space) and there are just a few things to do before it's back up:
- DNS needs to be updated
- a few glitches on the server have to be fixed
- A script has to be written to redirect all requests from forum.tinyshell.be to the new URL (so that any link to it will still work).

The good news is that nothing was lost and it should be faster than before.

Ah yeah, ... It should be back up tomorrow evening and the release of 1.0rc3 will be done the next day :).

New release really soon: 1.0rc3

There will be a new release in a day or 2. It will fix a lot of bugs (including the compiling issue of rc2 on 64 bit) and add one new feature: creation of kismet newcore netxml files (so that it can work with GISkismet). Some programs (wesside-ng, easside-ng, tkiptun-ng) were marked as unstable and you need to append the flag 'unstable=true' when running make and make install

Aircrack-ng.org new main page design

We are currently working on a new website, and more precisely on the entry of www.aircrack-ng.org.

This is not meant to replace the wiki but it is meant to give a quicker access to the most used things on the main page of the wiki and a better overview of the important things.

It will be installed next to the wiki and thus nothing will change for you (you won't have to change your bookmarks).


What do you think about the new main page?

ASCII WEP key

I often see people who cracked a WEP key and who wanted to convert it to ASCII.

My question is why do you want to convert it?
Maybe because it is easier to remember? Mmmh ... not always, especially if it's 13 random characters like this: $5@r6m2be_rEX
Maybe for network managers (command line/graphical, Linux/Windows)? No, they don't care if it's ASCII or hex. And an incomplete conversion would be unusable.

And, btw, if it was convertible, aircrack-ng would have given you the ASCII version :)
