If the network is not busy it will take a very long time. So you'll have to wait and capture 40K to 85K of data packets (IVs). IVs can be re-used, so the number of different IVs is usually a bit lower than the number of data packets captured.

The вЂњ-bssidвЂќ option is only available on new versions of airodump-ng.Д«efore being able to crack WEP you'll usually need between 40 000 and 85 000 different Initialization Vectors (IVs). The вЂњ-bssidвЂќ combined with the AP MAC address limits the capture to the one AP. With the -c parameter you tune to a channel and the parameter after -w is the prefix to the network dumps written to disk. So we want to listen just on one channel and additionally write all data to disk to be able to use it for cracking:ДЄirodump-ng -c 11 -bssid 00:01:02:03:04:05 -w dump wlan0mon The upper data block shows the access points found:Д«ecause of the channel hopping you won't capture all packets from your target net. The current channel is shown in the top left corner.ДЄfter a short time some APs and (hopefully) some associated clients will show up. The Linux Central Regulatory Domain Agent takes care of allowing/forbidding transmissions on the different channels for your country however, it needs to be set appropriately. Wikipedia has more details on channel availability. In general, known channels starts at 36 (32 in some countries) to 64 (68 in some countries) and 96 to 165. 802.11a is in the 5GHz and availability in different countries is more fragmented than on 2.4GHz. Channels 1 to 14 are used for 802.11b and g (in US, they only are allowed to use 1 to 11 1 to 13 in Europe with some special cases 1-14 in Japan). If airodump-ng could connect to the WLAN device, you'll see a screen like this:ДЄirodump-ng hops from channel to channel and shows all access points it can receive beacons from. Then, start airodump-ng to look out for networks: To confirm it is in monitor mode, run вЂњiwconfigвЂќ and confirm the mode. It will create create another interface, and append вЂњmonвЂќ to it. To put your wireless card into monitor mode using airmon-ng:

Injection will be covered later in this tutorial. This monitor mode also allows you to optionally inject packets into a network. Monitor mode is a special mode that allows your computer to listen to every wireless packet. Prior to looking for networks, you must put your wireless card into what is called вЂњmonitor modeвЂќ. The aircrack-ng suite contains airodump-ng for this - but other programs like Kismet can be used too. The first thing to do is looking out for a potential target.

The drivers section will tell you which drivers you need. You will have determined this using the information in the previous paragraph.

It still does not hurt to read this tutorial to build your knowledge and confirm your card attributes.ДЇirst, you need to know which chipset is used in your wireless card and which driver you need for it. Read Tutorial: Is My Wireless Card Compatible? if you don't know where to look in this table. To determine to which category your card belongs to, see hardware compatibility page. A compatible wireless card can be used to crack a wireless access point in under an hour. This is hardware which is fully compatible and can inject packets. Needless to say, you need a wireless card which is compatible with the aircrack-ng suite. Many cards work with multiple drivers, some of which provide the necessary features for using aircrack-ng, and some of which do not.

The first step in getting aircrack-ng working properly on your Linux system is patching and installing the proper driver for your wireless card.
