Aircrack-ng 1.4 - Complete Suite Of Tools To Assess WiFi Network Security
Aircrack-ng is a complete suite of tools to assess WiFi network security.
It focuses on different areas of WiFi security:
- Monitoring: Packet capture and export of data to text files for further processing by third party tools.
- Attacking: Replay attacks, deauthentication, fake access points and others via packet injection.
- Testing: Checking WiFi cards and driver capabilities (capture and injection).
- Cracking: WEP and WPA PSK (WPA 1 and 2).
All tools are command line which allows for heavy scripting. A lot of GUIs have taken advantage of this feature. It works primarily Linux but also Windows, OS X, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, as well as Solaris and even eComStation 2.

It focuses a lot on code quality and adds a few visible features:
PMKID
On routers with 802.11i/p/r, the AP can cache an "ID" for the connection so roaming clients don't have to waste frames reauthenticating and just use the PMKID, which helps decrease a bit the latency (from 6 frames to only 2).
Calculation is of the PMKID is done this way:
A big advantage here is that this PMKID is present in the first EAPoL frame of the 4-way handshake.
A few caveats about this attack:
When loading a PCAP, Aircrack-ng will detect if it contains a PMKID. In the following screenshot, it is present for the network ogogo, notice the "with PMKID" on the same line:
When selecting the network, it will use it as if it were a regular PCAP with a handshake (and thus the wordlist requirement applies).
If you'd like to test, two capture files with PMKID are available this test files:
More details about the attack itself can be found in this post.

Aircrack-ng 1.4
It focuses a lot on code quality and adds a few visible features:
- PMKID cracking
- Crack 802.11w capture files
- Speed and memory usage improvement when loading (large) files with Aircrack-ng and Airdecap-ng
- Packages for Linux distributions and Windows
- Fix building on various platforms
- Improved and tweaked our CI/CD processes
- Using new CI/CD tools for our buildbots and packaging, PyDeployer
- Almost doubled the amount of tests

Calculation is of the PMKID is done this way:
PMKID = HMAC-SHA1-128(PMK, "PMK Name" | BSSID | STA MAC)A big advantage here is that this PMKID is present in the first EAPoL frame of the 4-way handshake.
A few caveats about this attack:
- Sometimes APs send empty PMKID
- It doesn't work on WPA/WPA2 Enterprise networks
