0About: In some cases you may need to install the aircrack-ng suite on a Raspberry Pi that’s dedicated to hacking like the official Raspbian distro. That’s not a problem. Installing aircrack-ng on the Raspberry Pi is very easy and I’ll show you how to get it up and running in just a few steps. This tutorial is also useful if you need to update your aircrack-ng suite when using Kali or PwnPi that comes with an older version.
Objective: To demonstrate how to install aircrack-ng suite on the Raspbian distro for the Raspberry Pi
Material: You will need the following:
- Raspberry Pi
- USB Wireless Adapter (I use the Alpha AWUS036H in this tutorial)
Instructions: Let’s begin by installing the libraries that are needed to get aircrack-ng to work on the Raspberry Pi. Type in the following command:
1 | apt-get -y install libssl-dev libnl-3-dev libnl-genl-3-dev ethtool |
Now that we have the libraries downloaded and installed, run the following commands to download the latest version of aircrack-ng and then we’ll unzip it and install it. You may want to check out the aircrack-ng download page here and verify the url of the latest linux version. I tested this tutorial with aircrack-ng 1.2-RC3.
1 2 3 4 5 | wget http://download.aircrack-ng.org/aircrack-ng-1.2-rc3.tar.gz tar -zxvf aircrack-ng-1.2-rc3.tar.gz cd aircrack-ng-1.2-rc3 sudo make sudo make install |
After we have built aircrack-ng from the source and installed it we will need to update the IEEE OUI file. The OUI is most often used to create IEEE 802-defined MAC addresses and we need it to run aircrack-ng
1 | sudo airodump-ng-oui-update |
That’s it. aircrack-ng is now installed and ready to go. We will now test it by putting our wireless card into monitor mode with the following command:
1 | sudo airmon-ng start wlan0 |
This should put our wireless card into monitor mode and it will create a new interface called ‘wlan0mon’ which we will use in the next step to see what networks are around us. Type the following command to see what networks are around us:
1 | sudo airodump-ng wlan0mon |
If you see a list of networks around you then you are done! If you have any questions post a comment below and I’ll try to help you out.

April 6, 2016Hello! Thanks for giving this information!
By the way, when I trying to ‘airodump-ng-oui-update’, it is running [*] Downloading IEEE OUI file… , and after about 5hours, I received message.
‘[*] Error: Failed to download OUI list, aborting…’.
What’s wrong in my raspberry?!
Please help me..

April 6, 2016It looks like there is a new version of aircrack-ng, aircrack-ng 1.2-RC4 and they updated the OUI url. Give this a shot
Use this command to get the latest version:
wget http://download.aircrack-ng.org/aircrack-ng-1.2-rc4.tar.gz
tar -zxvf aircrack-ng-1.2-rc4.tar.gz
cd aircrack-ng-1.2-rc3
sudo make
sudo make install

May 22, 2017The onboard WiFi adapter on the Raspberry Pi 3 is unable to go into monitor mode which is what we need.

July 10, 2017I am currently ssh’ing into my Pi from my notebook computer using my wifi adaptor. Will I be able to put the adapter into monitor mode and maintain my connection to ssh? I currently do not have a monitor but I do have a console cable that I can use if necessary. I wanted to keep the Pi in another room running while I work on the notebook in another room.
Any feedback is appreciated.
