The aircrack suite is an excellent collection of tools written by Christophe Devine to perform packet capture, packet injection and WEP/WPA cracking.

Installing aircrack

The Tools: 

• airmon.sh - a utility to check an interfaces status and placing the interface into monitor mode

   

   

• airodump - 802.11 packet capture program (the resulting captures are used with aircrack)

   

   

• aircrack - static WEP and WPA-PSK key cracker that uses airodump captures as its input

   

   

• aireplay - 802.11 packet injection program *Does not support Orinoco drivers

   

   

• airdecap - decrypts WEP/WPA capture files

   

   

• arpforge - tool for forging ARP request packets

Aircrack/Aircrack-ng is also available on the Windows platform, albeit without the packet injection capabilities offered by aireplay.
