Aircrack-ng is a comprehensive suite of tools designed for monitoring, analyzing, and testing the security of wireless networks. Whether you want to check the robustness of your own Wi-Fi password or explore the security of nearby networks, Aircrack-ng has you covered. It specializes in cracking WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) and WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) passwords. The process begins with Airodump, a powerful packet sniffer included in the tool pack. Airodump captures data packets from the targeted network, which you can then analyze. Once you have collected sufficient packets, you can use Aircrack to decode them and reveal the network's password. This makes Aircrack-ng an essential tool for anyone interested in wireless network security and penetration testing.



Aircrack-ng is unreal! I had so much fun exploring the features. The command-line interface felt intimidating at first, but it’s actually easy to use once you get the hang of it. I’m definitely sticking with this one. What a ride!
