Packages are released for Linux and Windows. [2] Aircrack-ng is a fork of the original Aircrack project. It can be found as a preinstalled tool in many security-focused Linux distributions such as Kali Linux or Parrot Security OS, [3] which share common attributes, as they are developed under the same project .

Hydra (or THC Hydra) is a parallelized network login cracker built into various operating systems like Kali Linux, Parrot and other major penetration testing environments. [2] It was created as a proof of concept tool, for security researchers to demonstrate how easy it can be to crack logins.
Sequence diagram for a Wi‑Fi deauthentication attack. Unlike most radio jammers, deauthentication acts in a unique way. The IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) protocol contains the provision for a deauthentication frame. Sending the frame from the access point to a station is called a "sanctioned technique to inform a rogue station that they have been ...
Kali Linux has a dedicated project set aside for compatibility and porting to specific Android devices, called Kali NetHunter. [14]It is the first open source Android penetration testing platform for Nexus devices, created as a joint effort between the Kali community member "BinkyBear" and Offensive Security.
Kismet is used in a number of commercial and open source projects. It is distributed with Kali Linux. [3] It is used for wireless reconnaissance, [4] and can be used with other packages for an inexpensive wireless intrusion detection system. [5] It has been used in a number of peer reviewed studies such as "Detecting Rogue Access Points using ...
One of the modes John can use is the dictionary attack. [6] It takes text string samples (usually from a file, called a wordlist, containing words found in a dictionary or real passwords cracked before), encrypting it in the same format as the password being examined (including both the encryption algorithm and key), and comparing the output to the encrypted string.
An evil twin is a fraudulent Wi-Fi access point that appears to be legitimate but is set up to eavesdrop on wireless communications. [1]This type of attack, also known as a man-in-the-middle attack, may be used to steal the passwords of unsuspecting users, either by monitoring their connections or by phishing, which involves setting up a fraudulent web site and luring people there.
Wireless network cards for computers require control software to make them function (firmware, device drivers). This is a list of the status of some open-source drivers for 802.11 wireless network cards.
