How to install airdrop-ng (and lorcon2)

[Vulpi]

There is a lot of outdated source code and documentation on the net, and it took me a few false starts to get this going. I think these were the commands which worked:

Requires lorcon2:


cd /usr/src
apt-get install libpcap0.8-dev libnl-dev
git clone https://code.google.com/p/lorcon
cd lorcon
./configure
make
make install

# install pylorcon
cd pylorcon2
python setup.py build
python setup.py install

# to make lorcon available to metasploit
cd ../ruby-lorcon/
ruby extconf.rb
make
make install

Intalling airdrop-ng:


cd /usr/src
git clone git://github.com/jalcine/aircrack-ng.git # I couldn't pull down just airdrop-ng branch - don't know why
cd /aircrack-ng/scripts/airdrop-ng
make install
airodump-ng-oui-update #(airdrop-ng -u)

When running airdrop, you may get this error:


oui.txt not found in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/airdrop/support
or ./support/
Please run python airdrop-ng -u

You need to find an airodump-ng-oui.txt, copy and rename it. This worked for me:


cp /etc/aircrack-ng/airodump-ng-oui.txt /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/airdrop/support/oui.txt

NB: There could be a reason these tools are not packaged in the repo's!

" root@localhost:/usr/src/lorcon/ruby-lorcon# ruby extconf.rb
/usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require': cannot load such file -- mkmf (LoadError)
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'
from extconf.rb:2:in `<main>' " <-- i got this error on kali amd64
THE FIX IS HERE :
sudo apt-get install ruby
sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
sudo apt-get install rubygems
sudo gem install rails

I've been thinking about doing some stuff with lorcon soon, so thanks for the tutorial. I also have installed aircrack-ng from source though with svn. I was trying to get the --manufacturer option in airodump to work, but it seemed the version of aircrack-ng suite from Kali Repo was too old. The airodump --manufacturer option or (-M) is quite neat and also works off the oui.txt file you mentioned.

I want to add something also.

If you are getting a fatal error saying your missing Python.h (Python Header) make sure you install the python header and remove the previous build from your cache...


apt-get install python-dev
rm -rf ~/build
