Wireless Pentesting Tools Support #49

Open exploitprotocol opened 8 years ago

exploitprotocol commented 8 years ago

From PentestBox 2.0 it has nearly all security tools available, but wireless support was always the demand.

This is some serious problem, i searched a alot about it and found that there is any Native API from microsoft which can enable monitor mode on windows(necessary condition for sniffing beacon frames) . Microsoft also provides Network monitor and it does very well in sniffing beacon frames but adds it own header in each packet of the output file. So aircrack-ng or other cracking softwares are not able to read it.

While on the other side commercial tools provide support for wireless sniffing very easily, they install NDIS driver on the system.

Main point over here no one in the community have taken any step in this regard to make such functionality open source.

There is project ongoing from Nmap Team to make such driver open source. It has been named as Npcap. So surely in future we will have support for wireless pentesting on windows.

And when above functionality is available then i will push wireless cracking softwares in pentestbox.

Currently there is no estimated time when such feature will be released. But i expect that before may 2016.

Hi @exploitprotocol ,

I'm the author of Npcap. Thanks for your concern about Npcap!

Npcap has started the 802.11 packets capture support since 0.06 R15 version. Please try the latest installer at: https://github.com/nmap/npcap/releases

Hi @vizualpro,

The wireless support is now basically usable. Do you have suggestions about which aspect of Npcap should be improved?

exploitprotocol commented 8 years ago

Hi @vizualpro, @hsluoyz already provided excellent support for Npcap and i have tested it with wireshark it is working very smoothly and able to capture wireless traffic in to .pcap file. All thanks to @hsluoyz .

We have tried to contact aircrack-ng developer and he has agreed to provide support for npcap for aircrack-ng. I though it would be better to have support of npcap in aircrack-ng because it is already mature platform and users find it easy to use.

After npcap is supported by aircrack-ng, i will try to test the implementation on several wireless chipset, mostly the popular ones.

Hopefully, if everything go normal, this will be released before july 2016.

Let me know if you have any other concern.
