How do I install aircrack-ng on Debian?

Debian includes aircrack-ng in their repositories, this tutorial will teach you how to compile from the source code.

Step 1: Install requirements

sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev subversion checkinstall

https://github.com/aircrack-ng/aircrack-ng.git
cd aircrack-ng
make experimental=true 
make install

You can opt to experimental=false, but we recomment to set it to true since this will build the great command beeside-ng.

THis will allow you to see the vendors of devices shown by airodump-ng:

sudo airodump-ng-oui-update

The successfull output is:

[*] Downloading IEEE OUI file...
[*] Parsing OUI file...
[*] Airodump-ng OUI file successfully updated
