airserv-ng
Wireless card server for remote access over TCP/IP
TLDR
SYNOPSIS
airserv-ng [options]
DESCRIPTION
airserv-ng is a wireless card server that allows multiple wireless application programs to independently use a wireless card via a client-server TCP network connection. All operating system and wireless card driver specific code is incorporated into the server.
Clients connect by specifying host:port as the interface name instead of a local device. This enables using aircrack-ng tools on one machine while the wireless card is physically connected to another.
PARAMETERS
-d IFACE
Wireless interface to serve (required).-c CHAN
Lock the interface to a specific channel.-p PORT
TCP port to listen on (default: 666).-v LEVEL
Debug level. Level 1 shows client connect/disconnect (default), higher levels show more detail.-h
Display help information.
CAVEATS
No built-in authentication or encryption; use SSH tunneling for secure remote access. Network latency may affect real-time packet injection. The wireless card should typically be in monitor mode before starting the server.
HISTORY
airserv-ng was created as part of the aircrack-ng suite to enable distributed wireless testing scenarios where the wireless hardware and analysis software run on different machines.
