Suggestions, bugs, updates and what not...
« on: September 10, 2009, 07:27:31 pm »

I just read the b43 wiki page and found myself amazed with the information posted in there.

For starters, the "People have had limited success up to this point." statement is bogus at best. Every single aircrack-ng attack works flawlessly without the slightest hitch and injection speed is as good as it gets. Exactly how "limited" is that beats me.

Moving on to "Patching the kernel"...what?

Ever since kernel 2.6.24 was released (Ubuntu 8.04 for example) and the broadcomd driver evolved from bcm43xxx to b43 injection works outright. I see "tutorials" for "injection" and compiling the kernel? Why would you want to go trough a very lengthy and painful exercise such as compiling a custom kernel when injection comes natively?

The only thing people need to know is how to download compat-wireless and patch their mac80211 stack, if they want/need fragmentation attack (and not injection, as the wiki suggests).

Injection instructions should remain for kernels prior to 2.6.24, the bcm43xxx driver.

*****************************
On the wiki page: http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php, the logo has this link: http://www.aircrack-ng.org/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aircrack-ng.org%2Fresources%2Faircrack-ng-new-logo.jpg - which leads to the logo itself and not to the wiki index or www.aircrack-ng.org.

*****************************
The "Resources" page here: http://www.aircrack-ng.org/resources.html has two "Patches" entries and the second one leads to nonexistent URL http://patches.aircrack-ng.org/waterfall

*****************************
I've also came across a large number of spelling, stylistic and logical errors throughout the entire web site including the wiki. For example, on the very first sentence of the "I am injecting but the IVs don't increase!" tutorial there's this: "A frequent problem that problem that comes..." -- I've seen so many of those that I'm actually embarrassed to point them out. At times some information overlaps and causes confusion.

I could fix and help a lot if I have access to the wiki.

*****************************
Also, I put the finishing touches on the zd1211 tutorial and is now updated.

1. b43 page, you can post what should be changed here (or update the complete page and post it here).
2. Patching the kernel: same as 1
3. Image on the wiki: that's the default behavior of dokuwiki to display the image when clicking on it. What everybody else think about this behavior? Leave it that way or should lead to the to wiki or www.aircrack-ng.org?
4. Resources: Fixed
5. Spelling, stylistic and logical errors: Post the errors here and to what it should be changed to.
6. Access to the wiki: I can give you that access but there's one information missing (FYI, there's no member list on the wiki).
7. zd1211 tutorial: Thx

sleek,

I have already fixed the tutorial typo you mentioned.

I strongly urge you to provide the one missing piece of information to Mister_X so you can have full update access to the wiki.  We value and encourage input to the wiki.
