Monthly news (April 2010)

Project news:
- ebfe, who created airolib-ng, released an exploit for airodump-ng, aircrack-ng, airdecap-ng. You can find more information in his blog (Post 1, Post 2) but it just makes the tools crash, no real exploit released. It will be fixed in the next few days before the release (v1.1).
- Nearly everything has been moved to the new server, only forum, trac and buildbot needs to be moved :).
- Do you remember I wrote that trac didn't display svn commits for some unknown reason? That's now fixed, I just had to comment out a line in trac.ini.
- For those who can't open the website due to URL filtering, use whydoyoublock.me. It's not a mirror, it points to the exact same content as www.aircrack-ng.org.

Forum news:
- Patches to override the regulatory domain for ath5k, ath9k and ar9170.
- The work on the C# GUI for aircrack-ng, WepCrackGUI, continues. And here is a blog post in italian about it.
- Beini now has its own website. Here is the forum thread.
- Wordlist generation:
    * Here and there
    * Here is a script by Zermolo to generate wordlist with only numbers, called permutate and another post in the same thread about the same subject with JTR.
    * Creating custom rules for John.
    * Word field is an incremental word list generator.

Other news:
- I'll speak at Sharkfest. It will take place in the main campus of the Standford University, June 14-17.
- Ever heard about NeoPwn? Version 2 will be based on the Nokia N900 and will be Backtrack Mobile.
- Remember spoonwep and spoonwep 2? Shamanvirtuel is working on spoonwep 3. Public beta release is planned between 15th-30th April.
- If you're using SliTaz, you might be interested to know that they released v3.0 a week ago.

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.
