easside-ng

automated WEP key recovery tool

TLDR

Start with interface and buddy server

$ sudo easside-ng -f [wlan0] -s [buddy_ip]

Target a specific BSSID

$ sudo easside-ng -f [wlan0] -s [buddy_ip] -v [00:11:22:33:44:55]

Lock to a specific channel

$ sudo easside-ng -f [wlan0] -s [buddy_ip] -c [6]

Determine Internet IP only

$ sudo easside-ng -f [wlan0] -s [buddy_ip] -n

SYNOPSIS

easside-ng [options] -f interface -s buddyip_

easside-ng is a tool from the Aircrack-ng suite designed for automated WEP key recovery. It communicates with an external "buddy" server to decrypt packets without needing the WEP key, enabling network access.The tool automates the attack process against WEP-encrypted networks, exploiting known vulnerabilities in the WEP protocol.

PARAMETERS

-f interface

Wireless interface to use (mandatory).

-s ip

Buddy-ng server IP address (mandatory).

-v mac

Victim BSSID (target access point MAC address).

-m mac

Source MAC address.

-i ip

Source IP address.

-r ip

Router IP address.

-c channel

Lock card to this channel.

-n

Determine Internet IP only.

-h

Display help.

INSTALL

sudo apt install aircrack-ng

sudo dnf install aircrack-ng

sudo pacman -S aircrack-ng

sudo apk add aircrack-ng

sudo zypper install aircrack-ng

brew install aircrack-ng

nix profile install nixpkgs#aircrack-ng

CAVEATS

Requires wireless card supporting monitor mode and packet injection. WEP is deprecated and rarely used. Only for authorized security testing. Requires buddy-ng server running on the internet. May be illegal without proper authorization.

HISTORY

easside-ng is part of the Aircrack-ng suite, developed from the original Aircrack project. The tool was created to demonstrate WEP vulnerabilities and for legitimate security testing. WEP attacks helped drive the adoption of WPA/WPA2.
