Support for intel 4965AGN/iwlwifi ?

[adema]

I just want to know if the driver iwlwifi will be supported in the futur and if yes, when ?
I really need to use aircrack, it's a fantastic tool :p

adema

P.S : if someone know how to use injection with intel 4965 AGN, can you tell how me please?

[Mister_X]

yes, it will.

[adema]

Do you have a delay ?
On week ? One month ? Are you already working on it ?
Sorry for being impetience

Hi,

I'm also searching for patches to make the driver ilwifi works with aircrack-ng...
Thanks to tell us when it's supported 

[hatake_kakashi]

The drivers are heavily dependent on the programmers who can make support for them. If there are no support, be patient or go learn how to code + reverse engineer.

This has nothing to do with aircrack-ng suite which only makes use of the driver that was already provided by means of internet or otherwise.

sorry for being noob, but i have a question.

even without the patch, shouldnt this work? i understood that the patch is for packet reinjection, so the packet gathering would be much more slower without the patch... but still isnt it possible to crack a wep key?

also sorry for my english, i'm portuguese

fett2k,

The basic drivers need to be available and and working.  If the base driver does not support monitor mode then a patch even for that is required.

[fett2k]

but i can get it to monitor mode...

ifconfig wlan0 down
iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
ifconfig wlan0 up

ifconfig shows me that it's in monitor mode, and i can run airodump-ng to capture ivs, i just dont get to reinject packets to the network...

thanks

fett2k,

If monitor mode works, then read the wiki to learn how to use aircrack-ng.

Start with doing an injection test (aireplay-ng -9 ath0).  Then follow the simple wep crack tutorial.

The wiki has the details for all of the above.

i cant post anything, it replyes to me "Spam detected." 

[Mister_X]

fett2k, send me by pm what you want to post.

In BT3 Beta, IPW4965 now works well in monitor mode to include airodump-ng.  No injection yet, though.

I wonder if the moderatiors/administrators can refer me to a web site where I can monitor progress on IPW 4965 injection?  I know it is not part of aircrack-ng.....but, I would like to monitor the web site that is hosting the driver progress on the 4965.  Thanks.

fett2k:

In case you didn't get the answer... if you can get your card in monitor mode, you can capture packets and use them to crack the password.
The only problem is you're depending on something else generating packets for you.

But I invite you to look at this topic and maybe try somethings by yourself:

Topic:     * iwlwifi drivers with injection *
http://tinyshell.be/aircrackng/forum/index.php?topic=2898.0

You can try this too, Alacrity

I've created a patch at http://www.cross-lfs.org/~mlankhorst/iwl4965_injection.patch - it needs a v2.6.23!!! kernel to work, and it needs the drivers from www.intellinuxwireless.org .

Apply with patch -Np1 < patchfile and make sure you install the drivers and the ucode.

Also get the 1.0-dev branch, else injection will not work: svn co http://trac.aircrack-ng.org/svn/branch/1.0-dev aircrack-ng , then build it.

If you don't understand what I said above, please buy a different card since this is too involved for you.

Ok, I am going to post my results using ml's patch above.  A few preliminary notes: The adapter is an intel 4965 a/b/g/n and I'm on Gutsy.

Obviously the first step was to upgrade my kernel to 2.6.23 since Gutsy comes with kernel 2.6.22-14.  I managed to do this seemingly successfully:

uname -r:

root@Catalyst:~# uname -r
2.6.23.1-custom
root@Catalyst:~#

Next, I downloaded the drivers from the intel site and used the patch.  This seemed to go through without any errors:

root@Catalyst:~/Desktop/iwlwifi-1.2.23# patch -Np1 -i iwlwifi.patch
(Stripping trailing CRs from patch.)

Hunk #3 succeeded at 2801 (offset -90 lines).
Hunk #4 succeeded at 2812 (offset -90 lines).
root@Catalyst:~/Desktop/iwlwifi-1.2.23#

Next, comes the compilation.  This had to be done twice since the makefile had to be modified:

1st run:

root@Catalyst:~/Desktop/iwlwifi-1.2.23# make SHELL=/bin/bash
Checking kernel compatibility in:

I cleared out the old modules and then proceed to install:

Don't forget to copy firmware to your hotplug's firmware directory
and have the hotplug tools in place.

See INSTALL for more information.
root@Catalyst:~/Desktop/iwlwifi-1.2.23#

I rebooted, ran iwconfig:

root@Catalyst:~/Desktop/iwlwifi-1.2.23# iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

Then I downloaded the latest svn: revision 863..  Then I tried to use airmon-ng to put the card into monitor mode with this result:

root@Catalyst:~# airmon-ng stop wlan0


Interface       Chipset         Driver

wlan0                   iwl4965 - [phy1]
                                (monitor mode disabled)

    SET failed on device mon0 ; No such device.

                                (monitor mode enabled on mon0)

root@Catalyst:~#

(I have no idea what device "mon0" is)

Then I tried to run airodump-ng and aireplay-ng (injection test) with the following result:

root@Catalyst:~# airodump-ng wlan0
ioctl(SIOCSIFFLAGS) failed: No such file or directory
root@Catalyst:~# aireplay-ng -9 wlan0
ioctl(SIOCSIFFLAGS) failed: No such file or directory

I'd appreciate it ml, if you could let me know if I did anything wrong.
