Now Aircrack will create a file called everything-01.cap, which will be a pcap file containing all the packets it hears, plus a CSV file called everything-01.csv, which is a CSV file containing all of the information about MAC addresses, network names, power, data, beacons, clients, and traffic. The easiest way to see what's going on in the airwaves around you is to just monitor things with airodump:īut to make use of this stuff, instead of just watching it fly across your screen, you'll want to dump that information out somewhere, using the -w flag:

Now put your wireless card into monitor mode: Not regularly using 900-pound gorillas like Pandas or Numpy. I strive to keep all my Python tools 'fat free,' meaning, minimizing the use of non-stock libraries. If you think of Aircrack as a quiet awkward person who isn't sure what information you want and fumbles in actually transferring any of it to you, you can think of Besside as the insane Tazmanian devil that hoovers up information and pounds routers with brass knuckles to get the handshakes it needs. If you aren't building Aircrack yourself. If you are building Aircrack yourself, make aircrack with the command make experimental=true to enable this tool to be built. So the power of aircrack comes when you start building tools around aircrack, and start to use aircrack as an ENGINE.īesside is part of the Aircrack experimental build branch. The problem is mainly that aircrack's default mode is user-intensive, display-oriented, and only useful for generating information to be parsed - not for doing any parsing of that information itself. You are using aircrack in one terminal to listen to all networks, then you identify a network, then you switch to another terminal, copy and paste its mac address, construct your new listening command, switch to the first window, stop the listening process, switch back, run your new listening process, open a third window, copy and paste the mac of clients, etc. When you first learn how wireless networks are cracked, there are many steps involved.

Most tools that do wireless stuff are using aircrack under the hood. The primary tool for any wireless listening is Aircrack and its airodump-ng command.
