NAME
airpwn - A network security utility
SYNOPSIS
airpwn -i iface -c configfile -d drivername [-M -C -I -l -f -h -v -k -F]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the airwpn command.
airpwn is a thoughtful framework for automated injection of arbitrary
application-layer data on an unencrypted 802.11 network. It is used
mainly for penetration testing as it's primary role is for a complex
pattern matching and packet generation.
OPTIONS
This program doesn't follow the usual GNU command line syntax. A summary of options is included below.
- -i the interface to listen/control/inject with. Equivalent of set
- ting -M -C and -I to the same interface.
- -M specifies the interface to monitor for packets. This interface
- must support monitor mode.
- -C specifies the interface to use for control. (Right now this is
- only used for changing channels.)
- -I specifies the interface to use for packet injection. This
- interface MUST support the ability to inject raw packets. For atheros, this likely is ath0raw.
- -d the driver name used for the specified interface (e.x. "hostap",
- "prism54", "madwifiold", "madwifing")
- -c the location of the configuration file
- -l the location of the file targeted for verbose logging
- -f bpf filter for libpcap
- -k WEP key for packet de/encryption. May be used multiple times to
- specify multiple keys
- -F Assume no FCS headers at the end of the 802.11 frames. Some
- drivers append these and others don't. If WEP decryption is failing when you're positive you have the correct key, try using/not using -F.
- -h quick help information
- -v may be called multiple times to increase verbosity
EXAMPLES
airpwn -i ath0raw -d madwifi -c conf/airpwned_img -v
airpwn -i ath0 -I ath0raw -d madwifi -c conf/airpwned_img -F -k
11:22:33:44:55 -v -v -v
NOTES
This utility was first demonstrated at Defcon 12.
