Installing aircrack-ng on Ubuntu 12.04

If you want

aircrack-ng

on Ubuntu 12.04 or its derivatives, you’re going to have to compile it. Ubuntu’s repository doesn’t contain

aircrack-ng

for 12.04, because it’s no longer maintained upstream at Debian.

Simple instructions:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev
wget http://download.aircrack-ng.org/aircrack-ng-1.1.tar.gz
tar -zxvf aircrack-ng-1.1.tar.gz
cd aircrack-ng-1.1

Now open common.mak with an editor and find the following line:

CFLAGS ?= -g -W -Wall -Werror -O3

Remove

-Werror

:

CFLAGS ?= -g -W -Wall -O3

Save the file. Still in the folder

aircrack-ng-1.1

, run this:

make
sudo make install

When you run make, there’ll be a lot of stuff scrolling past, but that’s okay. It should still work.

    I’ve just updated it a while ago, so far evehrtying is fine for the exception that the Login Settings are not working. I’m presented with this message:Distribution: Ubuntu 10.10 maverickApplication: Ubuntu Tweak 0.5.9Desktop: gnomeTraceback (most recent call last): File /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/ubuntutweak/mainwindow.py , line 433, in setup_notebook page = module() File /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/ubuntutweak/modules/loginsettings.py , line 74, in __init__ self.__setup_logo_image() File /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/ubuntutweak/modules/loginsettings.py , line 110, in __setup_logo_image pixbuf = gtk.gdk.pixbuf_new_from_file(path)GError: Failed to open file /tmp/tmp1GJEtX’: Permission deniedOther than that evehrtying’s fine.
