Aircrack-ng is a suite of command line tools for monitoring, attacking, testing and cracking Wi-Fi networks. Wireless penetration testing veteran, Ross Flynn, introduces this tool that should be in every wireless network pentester’s toolbox.
If this is a bit advanced or you’d like a quick refresher, be sure to check out Ross’s first of many Wi-Fi Upskill Challenges, UC – Wi-Fi Basics.

What’s an Upskill Challenge (UC)?
A UC is a CTF-style, bite-sized lesson from the JHT Team, our courseware developers as well as “friends” of JHT. They are meant to be short and to the point. UCs focus on a single tool or concept and are helpful in quickly providing useful skills that might be prerequisites for other types of educational content on the platform.
A UC should be 10 – 30 minutes of student time and have no VMs. There are quizzes to make sure that the content is understood.
Prerequisites for “UC – Aircrack-ng”
UCs assume no knowledge at all! They’re meant to be completely self-contained, so all of the answers are in the lesson. No outside research is required.
