Monthly news (May 2010)

Project:
- Aircrack-ng 1.1 was released a bit more than a week ago. A lot of bug fixes (including the buffer overflow in different tools) and improvements have been done. The most noticeable changes are the addition of airdrop-ng by TheX1le and the interaction in airodump-ng.
The following screenshot shows some of the possibilities of the interaction (more details in the wiki and in the manpage). In this case, when you color an AP, its clients are automatically colored the same:


Forum:
- criser released v0.8 of his C# (Mono) GUI, wepcrack. He uses git for his source control and if you want to use the latest source and don't know much git, read the following. He is looking for someone who can design an icon for his software.
- Zermolo released permutator beta 1.3. It generates incremental wordlists/dictionaries based on your needs. The package by Jano contains the source code and an Ubuntu package.

Other:
- ShamanVirtuel released a GUI to capture WPA handshakes called Autohs-GUI. His project is hosted on Google Code along with a few other programs.

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.

<AprilFool>Backcrack-ng v1.1</AprilFool>

EDIT: This is an April Fool

The BackTrack team is happy to announce the acquisition of the Aircrack-NG project, as well as a new, long awaited update to v 1.1. The acquisition will mark a turning point to the Aircrack-NG project in more than once sense, and we are looking forward to see the project grow.

The new version of Aircrack-ng (to be renamed "backcrack-ng") is available in the SVN repositories for your testing:

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 :)

• 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).

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) :)

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
