1) Compilation dependencies I cannot guaranty the list of dependency I do is exhaustive, since I probably have some implicit ones (compiler for example....). Nevertheless here are the ones I remember, if compilations fails, look at the name of missed file and use « yum search » : [code]yum install kernel-devel krb5-devel libstdc++-devel openssl-devel make svn[/code] 2) Take control of your Linux distribution... I do not really know why, but by default Kernel sources (and therefore the possibility to compile your own modules/drivers) are not provided on Aspire One. Nevertheless to comply with opensource delivery policies, Acer provide source code online, you can get and install it such way : [code]cd /usr/src wget [url]ftp://guest@csdftp.acer.com.tw/Aspire_One_Linpus_Linux/Aspire_One_Source/linux-2.6.23.9lw.zip[/url] mkdir /usr/src/linux-2.6.23.9 cd linux-2.6.23.9 unzip ../linux-2.6.23.9lw.zip cp /boot/config_080621v1.v1.0.1 .config chmod 755 scripts/mod/modpost chmod 755 scripts/basic/fixdep [/code] 3) Compile and Install madfifi I do not really know why (even if I'm some ideas...) madwifi drivers provided by Acer don’t allow Atheros chipset packet injection functions... Let's change that: [code]ifconfig ath0 down ifconfig wifi0 down rmmod ath_pci svn checkout [url]http://svn.madwifi.org/madwifi/branches/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6/[/url] madwifi-ng cd madwifi-ng wget [url]http://patches.aircrack-ng.org/madwifi-ng-r3745.patch[/url] patch -Np1 -i ./madwifi-ng-r3745.patch ./scripts/madwifi-unload make make install depmod -ae modprobe ath_pci [/code] 4) Let’s use very last Aircrack-ng software: [code]wget [url]http://download.aircrack-ng.org/aircrack-ng-1.0-rc1.tar.gz[/url] tar -zxvf aircrack-ng-1.0-rc1.tar.gz cd aircrack-ng-1.0-rc1 make make install [/code] 5) How to use Aircrack-ng (the simple way) a) Start the Atheros listening interface: [code]/usr/local/sbin/airmon-ng start wifi0[/code] b) Find the closer network WEP key (some doc here : [URL]http://aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=wesside-ng[/URL] ) : [code]/usr/local/sbin/wesside-ng -i ath1[/code] c) use any other Aircrack-ng tools (if you do not like wesside-ng), they are located in /usr/local/sbin path. Conclusion: Even on a cheap and powerless hardware like Aspire One, WEP cracking is a question of minutes. WEP is really a poor technology and I advise you to use always MAC address filtering (it doesn't really preserve, but it makes lose more time to the attacker...).
