Aircrack-ng - a set of programs designed to detect wireless networks , intercept traffic transmitted through wireless networks, audit WEP and WPA / WPA2-PSK encryption keys (strength check), including the Pentetration test of wireless networks (susceptibility to attacks on equipment) and attacks on encryption algorithms). The program works with any wireless network adapters whose driver supports monitoring mode (the list can be found on the programβs website). The program runs on Windows , UNIX , Linux, and Mac OS X operating systems. The version for UNIX-like operating systems has much more functionality and supports more wireless adapters than the Windows version. aircrack-ng has also been ported to the Zaurus and Maemo platforms. Also, the program has been ported to the iPhone . [one]
