airserv-ng

Wireless card server for remote access over TCP/IP

TLDR

Start the wireless server on an interface with a specific channel and port

$ sudo airserv-ng -d [wlan0mon] -c [6] -p [666]

Start the server on the default port

$ sudo airserv-ng -d [wlan0mon]

Start with verbose debug output

$ sudo airserv-ng -d [wlan0mon] -v [3]

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.

INSTALL

sudo apt install aircrack-ng

sudo dnf install aircrack-ng

sudo pacman -S aircrack-ng

sudo apk add aircrack-ng

sudo zypper install aircrack-ng

brew install aircrack-ng

nix profile install nixpkgs#aircrack-ng

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.
