Script Settings

The scripts' variables are declared at the top of 'aircrack.sh'. Here you can specify the following:

• which terminal you'd like to use (xterm or gnome-terminal)

depicted by 'terminal='

• the path to the aircrack-script directory (in case you want to save files and run the script from in different areas)

depicted by 'ASSPATH='

• set your init_interface (which is your wireless interface prior to monitor mode)

depicted by 'init_interface='

• interface after enabling monitor mode

• name of your passwordlist (located in the aircrack-script folder)

Running the script

First off, you must run the script as root. So either use one of the following:

su
sh aircrack.sh

sudo sh aircrack.sh

Keep in mind, the script must be marked executable to run it with:

sudo ./aircrack.sh

su
./aircrack

After successfully running the script as root, you will then see the splash screen asking you for a session. A session is just a folder created within /home/$USER/aircrack-script, seeing as though you installed it in your home folder. At this prompt you can type in a folder that already exists, or a new folder name.  The script will check if the folder exists or not and create it as necessary. This will be your working session, where files will be stored and used for cracking. This will enable you to easily resume a prior information-gathering session.

Using the menu

Now that we've entered our session, we will get our next screen which is the main menu. From here you can execute all of the scripts features, simply enter your selection and you will be prompted for the necessary information. By default, your wireless card interface is set to wlan0, and when monitor mode is enabled mon0. These are conveniently initialized as variables at the top of the script for modification if you have different settings. The menu is setup in the basic order in which you need to do things in order to crack a network. The menu terminal will act like the main terminal, and it will spawn new terminals so you can multitask, also so you can copy and paste information back in to the main terminal. Click the thumbnail for a better view.
