[Tutorial] Installing Aircrack in ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin

So.. aircrack is not found in default repository of Ubuntu anymore.
You want it, then you need to compile and install it from the source itself. Download the source from here.

Save it in some less messy folder, say Public.
If you just try to extract and compile it, you will get a good series of errors:




To overcome these errors, follow the steps below:

1) Install build-essential and libssl

apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev

2) Extract the aircrack source if it hasnt already been extracted:

tar -xzf aircrack-ng-1.1.tar.gz

3) cd to it, and edit a file called common.mak



cd aircrack-ng-1.1


open common.mak with a text editor you are comfortable with.
Find this line:
 CFLAGS          ?= -g -W -Wall -Werror -O3
and remove -Werror only,
Save and exit. 


4) Now compile and install

make && make install

You are done.

Well, this was not totally my idea, I also read some tutorials before to make this one. So original credits go to all the writers whose tutorial I have read.

Feel free to comment if needed. :)

[Article] Ubuntu 12.04 "Precise Pangolin" Alpha Out For Testing!!

Was busy with college so found out just today that Ubuntu 12.04 Alpha is out for testing. Also, Ettercap Lazarus was released on the same time so didnt pay attention to anything except Lazarus for couple of week.

This release contains Linux Kernel 3.2 RC3.
Mozilla Firefox 9.0 is the default browser and Mozilla Thunderbird 9.0 is the default email client.
It has gnome 3.2.1 as desktop environment.
Also, Rythmbox is the default music player.

So, why wait, lets download and check the Alpha release and see if we can find any bugs and/or fix the bug and help for the release of 12.04. Please click here to go to the iso download pages.

Try to inform ubuntu of any bugs you find asap!! :D

[Mini-Tutorial] Enabliing 4 GB RAM in 32-bit Ubuntu.

I have seen and heard that 32 bit operating systems (linux) take only 3 gB of RAM even if more than 3 gB is installed. Here is my experience and solution to it.

I recently bought a 32-bit laptop with 2 gB of RAM. I had a spare 2 gB RAM with me, so I installed that 2 gB RAM in my laptop hoping that I will get 4 gB of RAM. The BIOS shows 4 gB of RAM installed, but OS shows only 3 gB. I was a bit shocked. Googled for a bit and found a simple solution.

Need to install PAE linux kernel header. My OS was ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx. I fired up my terminal and typed:

aptitude install linux-generic-pae linux-headers-generic-pae

reboot

and bam it showd 4 gB. For more detailed info, go here. here.
