Hi friends,

I guess my aircrack/drivers are not patched, and, for I'm a newbee to Linux, I need help.

ASPLinux
kernel 2.6.16-1.2111
madwifi 0.0-0.16.20060128asp
aircrack 2.41-1.fc5.rf
Netgear WG511T

Madwifi & aircrack installed from rpm packages. Is there any way to patch my system to support aireplay injection? I tried fake auth attack, both auth & association were successful, and aireplay -3 sees ARP requests and started sending something, but airodump shows that IVs rate is still the same. I tried "iwconfig ath0 retry 0" which resulted in "operation not supported", and I assume my system needs to be patched.

I tried the regular way of installation, and patched the aircrack source successfully, but make/make install just give lots of errors and then stop.

Any comments are greatly appreciated.

It would help if you showed what errors you got, but chances are you don't have the kernel source installed? You should be patching the madwifi drivers (for injection) and not aircrack actually.

Madwifi compiles pretty cleanly from what I've experienced with recompiling the drivers on B|T beta.

Do you have your kernal source in /usr/src/linux?

Thanks Markds.

I was talking about patching aireplay because I read this:
http://forums.remote-exploit.org/showthread.php?t=624
and followed instructions that appear in "Patching Aireplay (Aircrack)". If you have a chance could you please look into it?

The directory /usr/src is indeed empty. :-(

May I ask you how to install sources using yum?

The following is my aircrack installation experience (after patching procedure as it is described in the instruction I mentioned)

Please take into account that today is my 3rd day with Linux...

No need to fret. Get the kernel module from here

http://www.remote-exploit.org/kernel.mo

and do

uselivemod kernel.mo

after downloading to insert the kernel (I hope this is a hdd install of B|T).


May I ask you how to install sources using yum?
Theres a pretty good article here on this :

http://madpenguin.org/Article918.html

The following is my aircrack installation experience (after patching procedure as it is described in the instruction I mentioned)

Please take into account that today is my 3rd day with Linux...

---------------------------------------------
[root@localhost ~]# cd /root/Desktop/WiFi/aircrack-2.4
[root@localhost aircrack-2.4]# make
Try to install the kernel sources first, then compile aircrack again. See how it goes.

Thanks again, I'll try to follow you advices and then come back.

First feedback:
uselivemod -- command not found

Ok, some more info.
I cannot use uselivemod for ASPLinux is a RH-based distro. There must be other way--if the file I've downloaded is the right one for this distro.
Then yum.
I'm really aware of reconfiguring it (the article is quite decent one) because every time I use yum I expect something bad to happen. I've probably damaged yumex as it can not show up and starts in "sleeping" mode according to the system monitor. But even the command line installs and updates with yum work strange. In most cases yum downloads everything from repos (and this is the only thing it's really good at, plus the fact that I use all the repos available for my distro) and then gives something like this:

But I don't want to change the distro, it has all the functions I need (actually it HAD before I started playing with aircrack) and I'm impressed with the speed and simplicity...btw, I tried suse, mandriva, debian and many others and finally have come to ASP.
Th problem MUST be solvable, I believe...

Opps - I didn't see that you were using ASP. This is a B|T forum, you should be posting in an Aircrack forum. See if an RPM install will work for you. You can use the new aircrack-ng from here :

http://dag.wieers.com/packages/aircrack-ng/

or the old aircrack from here

http://dag.wieers.com/packages/aircrack/

install with

rpm -i <file.rpm>

where <file.rpm> is the rpm package you downloaded from either of those 2 sites.

You really should try Slackware (what B|T is) then if speed and simplicity are your key concerns. From the looks of your output, ASP seems to be very very stripped down.

Thanks, I already had old aircrack (2.41) installed and working quite smoothly (except THE injection), and now I had taken aircrack-ng from the source you provided me with. Installation went fine and now I have both old and new aircrack working. Injection still doesn't work, at least IMHO, everything else is very similar.

I tried it but it has no system for managing dependencies and requires more proficiency. My ASP is really stripped but I went the same way I always did with Windows: NO SPARE STUFF RUNNING OR STORED. I could agree that my Linux knowledge hardly helps judge what is spare stuff and what's not. :-)

Ok, let's go back to the sty.

Question number one: how can I know for sure that injection is/isn't working in my system? Can "iwconfig ath0 retry 0" be of help? Again, it gives "operation not supported". Is this the only & unique criterion?

Q2: I need madwifi drivers for my kernel (2.6.16-1.2111asp), which don't seem to be present online (I can spot them in Google cache but none of alive, why)? Again, I tried to update kernel to 2.6.16-1.2133_FC6, but could not install the rpm package being lost in references to dependencies that are absent.

Frankly speaking, I'm close to the point where I start hating Linux. :-) Please help me save my soul for the open source, my dear friends.

Injection isn't a problem of aircrack - aircrack makes calls to do injection. That means its the drivers that need to be patched for injection, not aircrack.

You need to patch your madwifi/madwifi-ng drivers for injection.

You need to patch your madwifi/madwifi-ng drivers for injection.

I understand that. I just dont't know how to do that if a) I cannot install drivers from the source code as I don't have Linux source code to compile them properly and still have no idea how to get it; b) I can't find an RPM patch that would fix existing drivers.

Do :

uname -a

to find out which version of the kernel you have (eg 2.6.15.6)

Then go to http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/

look for the kernal source matching the version you have and download it, then untar/gunzip into /usr/src

Don't think there is an rpm patch to fix the current drivers. How to do it - read http://www.aircrack-ng.org/ its all right there.

Ok, I went a different way, but I've updated kernel using
kernel-2.6.16-1.2115asp.i586.rpm. Now it loads ok.
Then I've installed
kernel-module-madwifi-2.6.16-1.2115asp-0.0-0.16.20060128asp.i686.rpm
which seems to be an exact match.

Now Linux is not able to see the card at all. Kuzdu didn't help.

There is no matching kernel number at kernel.org, do you know which one to choose?

Dear markds,

How can you explain this?

After all the manipulations I described above, I've booted up to old kernel and found drivers patched and injection working.

Didn't you access my laptop remotely to fix my problems? I'm ready to believe. :-)

Exactly. Please look into #13-14. That is what I can't understand. Another problem gone: before I ***patched*** the drivers my Thinkpad froze sometimes when aircrack apps were working, now I left it alone for the whole night and it's still ok.
