Aircrack-ng 1.6 released with new features and a lot of improvements with Speed, memory usage and rate display. Aircrack-ng contains a complete set of tools to perform a Wi-Fi network security assessment.
The tool focuses on multiple areas of WiFi security such as capturing packets, replay attacks, checking WiFi cards and driver capabilities for injection.
The most noticeable change with the new version is the rate display, with the new version “it takes into account the complexity of 802.11n/ac and calculates the maximum rate that can be achieved on the AP.”
Now it includes the basic UTF-8 support for ESSID, so you will get the WPA3 or OWE network displayed correctly.
Aircrack-ng is capable of loading PCAP and from the PCAP outputs can be generated in CSV/netxml format’s but the signal level was not displayed, which is fixed with the new version.
Also, the new version provides the option to read the files in realtime, instead of reading all at once.
“Huge improvements have been done under the hood as well. Code has been cleaned up, deduplicated (Pull Request 2010), reorganized (Pull Request 2032), which lead to a lot of fixes.”
Bugs with the CentOS 7 has been fixed by providing a script to install the from the source and simplified the build system.
