In this “How To: Install Aircrack and Reaver on Ubuntu” article, I will show you what needs to be done in order to install Aircrack and Reaver on Ubuntu 12.04 or later.
aircrack-ng
Table of Contents
Wikipedia:
Aircrack-ng is a network software suite consisting of a detector, packet sniffer, WEP and WPA/WPA2-PSK cracker and analysis tool for 802.11 wireless LANs.
It works with any wireless network interface controller whose driver supports raw monitoring mode and can sniff 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g traffic.
The program runs under Linux and Windows; the Linux version is packaged for OpenWrt and has also been ported to the Zaurus and Maemo platforms; and a proof of concept port has been made to the iPhone.
In April 2007 a team at the Darmstadt University of Technology in Germany developed a new attack method based on a paper released on the RC4 cipher by Adi Shamir. This new attack, named ‘PTW’, decreases the number ofinitialization vectors or IVs needed to decrypt a WEP key and has been included in the aircrack-ng suite since the 0.9 release.
Aircrack-ng is a fork of the original Aircrack project.

System Requirements for Reaver and AirCrack:
a Linux Ubuntu machine .
Let’s begin:
Install the required Libraries:
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential $ sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
Download the file:
$ wget https://download.aircrack-ng.org/aircrack-ng-1.1.tar.gz
Extract it:
$ tar -zxvf aircrack-ng-1.1.tar.gz $ cd aircrack-ng-1.1
Then, we will edit the file `common.mak` and remove the word “Werror” from line:
"CFLAGS ?= -g -W -Wall -Werror -O3" $ vi common.mak
After editing the file, the line should look like this:
"CFLAGS ?= -g -W -Wall -O3"
Save the file and follow the last steps:
$ make $ sudo make install
In order to update Airodump-ng (Optional). run as ‘root’ or using sudo :
# airodump-ng-oui-update
We’ve finished installing Aircrack!
Next step is Reaver installaion, follow the next steps:
$ wget https://reaver-wps.googlecode.com/files/reaver-1.4.tar.gz
Then extract it:
$ tar -xzvf reaver-1.4.tar.gz
Install the required libraries:
$ sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev libpcap0.8-dev
Then Compile and Install it:
$ cd reaver-1.4 $ cd src $./configure ; make $ sudo make install
