Aircrack-Ng is a popularly used software for Wi-Fi network security. There are lots of tools present in this software. This application is known as a suite of tools that help in Wi-Fi network security purposes. Mainly, this software applies to Linux Distribution. This means different Linux distributions can able to run the Aircrack-Ng. But other than the Linux distributions, there are also certain operating systems present that can also handle the Aircrack-Ng. Like, the Windows operating system is such one. Aircrack-Ng is used for the monitoring purpose of Wi-Fi. It also helps to export the data to the text file for monitoring purposes. Aircrack-Ng is also used for testing purposes. It is used to know whether the Wi-Fi cards are running properly or not.

Termux is a special software present for mobile users. As there are terminals present in every operating system, the Termux is similar to that. In the Android operating system, Termux can be installed. Termux is used as one of the Linux distributions in the Android operating system. This acts as the terminal in the Andriod mobile. Using this software, users can install & use other software on the mobile phone itself. Termux is used to implement one Linux environment in Smartphones. For installing the Aircrack-Ng, users need to first install the Termux on the machine. Then users can move forward.

Features of Aircrack-Ng Tool

  • The Aircrack-Ng tool is available in every operating system like Windows, Linux, etc. But mainly it is used in Linux distributions.
  • The Aircrack-Ng tool can show up different Wi-Fi availability in the Monitor mode.
  • The Aircrack-Ng tool uses encrypted packets while monitoring the Wi-Fi networks. So, it is safe to use.
  • The Aircrack-Ng tool can communicate with the access point during operations.
  • The Aircrack-Ng opposes the Access Point. That is the reason, it takes a small amount of time than other applications.

Installation of Aircrack-Ng in Termux

Step 1: At first, users need to open the Termux software. Users need to execute the following command. This command will help to ready the repository that is needed for the installation process of Aircrack-Ng. It will take some time to complete. Users need to wait till the process is completed.

apt install root-repo

Installing root-repo

 

Step 2: Now, after the repository is ready for the installation process, users need to execute the following command. This command will help to install the Aircrack-Ng in the Termux. It will take some time to complete the process. Users need to have patience for the completion of the process.

apt install aircrack-ng -y
Installing aircrack-ng

 

Step 3: After successfully installation of the Aircrack-Ng, users need to run the following command. This command is necessary to install the dependency for the Aircrack-Ng. This command will also help to save the changes & the installation process. This command can also be treated as one of the closing commands for the installation process.

apt install iw
Installing iw

 

Step 4: Now, the installation process is completed. If the users execute the following command, this will provide some network speed. This means this is the indication that the Aircrack-Ng is installed successfully. And this can able to read the network speed there.

aircrack-ng -S

Running aircrack-ng tool

 

Hence, we have successfully installed Aircrack-Ng in Termux.

Usage of Aircrack-Ng Tool

Example 1: For Monitoring Networks

Note: Monitoring purpose is a special domain in the Aircrack-Ng tool. In this case, all the present networks can be monitored. For that reason, users need to follow some steps. The Aircrack-Ng tool will provide the data in a specific format. It is advised to the users to have a knowledge of Computer Networking. Otherwise, users will find the Aircrack-Ng tool a waste tool while using it.

Step 1: To use the Aircrack-Ng as a monitoring tool, users should need to run a command. This command helps to install a dependency that is needed for monitoring purposes. Here, using this command, users are installing the “tsu” dependency. For that purpose, users need to execute the following command. This will take some time to complete the process.

apt install tsu
Install tsu

 

Step 2: Now, as the dependency is installed in the Aircrack-Ng, so users can use it for monitoring purposes. In that case, users need to execute the following command. This command will monitor the present network configuration. For understanding the network configurations that are showing there as an output, users need to have a good knowledge of the Computer Network.

sudo airmon-ng
Detecting Network devices

 

Hence, we have successfully used the Aircrack-Ng tool for monitoring purposes.

Example 2: For Network Detection

Note: Network Detection is the main goal of the Aircrack-Ng tool. In this case, users will find all the confidential information about the present networks. While in the monitoring case, the confidential information will not present to the users. But in this case, all the information on the networks will be available. It is advised to the users to have a knowledge of Computer Networking. Otherwise, users will find the Aircrack-Ng tool a waste tool while using it. It is also advised to the users, to use this process only for educational purposes.

Step 1: In this case, users need to again install one dependency. This dependency is required for the Network Detection purpose. In this case, users need to install the “ethtool” dependency. For that reason, users need to execute the following command. This will take some time to complete the process.

apt install ethtool -y
Installing ethtool

 

Step 2: After installing the dependency, there is a need to configure the Aircrack-Ng tool. For that reason, users need to execute the below-mentioned command. This command will not provide any necessary output. But the configuration is needed here for network detection purposes.

sudo aircrack-ng

Usage of aircrack -ng

 

Step 3: At last, users need to run the following command. After executing this command, all the vulnerable data of the present networks will be available in front of the users. So, can extract all the data from that configurational information. But again for doing that, users need to know about Computer Networks.

airodump-ng wlan0mon
Minitoring Wifi information

 

Hence, we have successfully used the Aircrack-Ng tool for network detection purposes.

Conclusion

Aircrack-Ng is a highly used software for any modification in the Wi-Fi-related network. Aircrack-Ng is considered a suite of tools that are required for monitoring & testing purposes in the Wi-Fi. This software can be installed in Linux Distributions mainly. So, Termux is suitable for that. Termux is a Linux Distribution that is present in the Android operating system. In this article,  the features of the Aircrack-Ng tool are discussed along with a brief introduction to the Aircrack-Ng tool. Also, this article helps to guide the step-by-step installation process of Aircrack-Ng in the Termux. All the commands that need to be executed are listed in this article along with the output screenshots. This article also demonstrates the use of the Aircrack-Ng tool in a step-by-step manner with output screenshots.
