Compiling Aircrack under/for windows

Olipro · 12-19-2004

I wish to compile the source of aircrack (I'm only interested in aircrack) for windows, what is it that I will need in order to do it?
I have the SuSE Linux distro, so if you have been compiling it for windows under linux, then I will be able to do that also, however, if you know of a way to compile it under windows, that will be easier (i.e, what compiler and libraries I will need to have under windows, and where to get them).
otherwise, a list of whatever I will need for Linux

its already compiled for windows....check the .zip file

I realise that, I have made a small modification for it and although I have successfully compiled the modification under linux, for linux, I want to compile it for windows, under linux, or windows.

Sounds interesting. What is the modification? Anything you'd care to share with the community at large?

As for compiling... sorry, I can't help you there.

The obvious answer is: buy a compiler. Which complier will depend on what language it was written in. Assuming C/C++, then there are several choices. MS Visual C++ retails for ~$100USD. Borlund also sells a C++ compiler.

don't insult my intelligence, I'm not stupid.
I have a freeware C++/C compiler and Visual Studio, neither of which will compile it.
therefore, I have been trying to find out from whoever compiled the original win32, how exactly they managed it

First of all, don't get pissy with the mods here if you expect to continue receiving any assistance. Just because you feels Thorn's response was too basic doesn't mean he was trying to insult you. If you want to see some insults, keep up with the attitude.

Now, as for finding out what libraries are needed to compile aircrack, what have you done so far? If you want help you need to provide some useful details. Have you tried to compile it yet? I assume you have, or you wouldn't be here. What compiler did you use? What errors did you receive?

And last, but probably most importantly;

Did you read the documentation that came with the package? (I have not, so I don't know how much use it might be) and, Have you gone to the aircrack website to see if there's any helpful info there? When it doubt, go to the freakin developer man.

Good luck, and do share your results.

Don't be a jackass. It wasn't meant to be an insult to your intelligence, even if you were stupid enough not to supply basic information.

If you'd supplied the above information in the first place, I wouldn't have given you such a basic an answer. We get all types here, and we have no way of knowing if what your experience level is, or what software packages you might have installed, or what you've tried previously unless you state it.

I've stated that I wanted to compile it for windows, not that I wanted to be told how to get a compiler

furthermore, in the source code of aircrack are various calls and libraries that are meant for Linux, however, since I don't generally work with Windows, I was wondering simply if an environment such as cygwin or mingw has been used to compile it as-is, or if a different version exists that has been adapted to produce a windows binary.

my original question was designed to get a response from whoever has compiled it for Windows or anyone with helpful suggestions; I was trying to find out what compiler can be used to create an executable for windows, not a random guess pulled out of your head because you happened to know of a very common compiler, it was more directed at someone who has already compiled it for windows.

C and C++ are very intricate languages, it is not as simple as just getting a compiler and ploughing ahead, it is a very rare occasion when you come across something that is platform independant, not counting "Hello World" :P
Maybe ANSI has failed us all in that respect, although I prefer to blame M$ but you can't have everything.

oh, since someone was interested in what the mod was, all it is is a very simple modification where I've made it ignore all MAC addresses and load all IV's since I have been in an environment where all devices in the vicinity are using the same WEP, so I thus don't want it to ignore IV's.

If I can make the effort, I'll change it so that it'll allow you to pass an argument to it that will cause it to filter by SSID rather than the MAC, but as it stands, I doubt anyone is interested in the mod.

I currently have it compiled for Linux, but it would be more ideal to be doing the job under windows where I can reliably get my WLAN card to work.

I suppose if I wanted I could reverse engineer the win32 in Assembler but I don't tend to like doing that sort of "dirty work"

well, I've gone for the quickfix and patched over a JNZ in assembler to a NOP, I get the same effect so it works for me fine

RedSector · 12-21-2004

On a side note: Anyone actually read the code?

Code:

 /*
  *      Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
  *        The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
  *      Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
  *        The frumious Bandersnatch!
  */

Gotta love programmers.

Okay dickhead let me point this out.

From your first post!

Now you can go out and play hide and go fuck yourself!

I wasn't aware that he was the only person who has compiled it for windows...

I've straightened everything out with assembler anyway.

and in response to the last post by wzrwaldo, I wanted to know what compiler I would need which is still different from being told how to get one (i.e, how to get a compiler, which lacks the requested specificity), and more to the point, being given a generalised answer recommending I buy something, and then referring to Visual C++ as an example is not appropriate simply because he obviously hasn't compiled it himself, not that there's anything wrong with that and in retrospect, I mistook a helpful gesture.

either way, I've found a workaround for the problem, although I'm still interested in any information anyone might have.

I've already alienated some of you, not something I take any pride in, this isn't a troll, and seeing as this has all stemmed from Thorn's post, where I've been on a number of forums, patronisation does tend to get tiresome, but as I said, I don't think that was the intent of the message.

and it'd be appreciated if the conversation could be kept a little less low-brow than using expletives.

Hmmm, lemme see. Being the new guy on the block you might want to take a step back and see how things roll around here. No one's calling you a numbnut or anything like that but you should relax a little. If you're familiar with forums then you should already know that the new guy is instantly made into a meal when the regulars sense something nasty directed towards another that has been around for a while. As I see it, and I'm usually MORE than willing to jump head first into an exchange of words, you're awfully close to experiencing the well honed wrath of many of the regulars. Where you go from here is entirely up to you.
