airserv-ng
Serve a wireless card over TCP/IP for remote access
TLDR
Start the wireless server
SYNOPSIS
airserv-ng [-d device] [-c channel] [-p port]
DESCRIPTION
airserv-ng is a wireless card server that allows remote access to a wireless interface over TCP/IP. This enables using aircrack-ng tools on one computer while the wireless card is physically connected to another.
The server provides network access to the wireless interface, and clients connect using the interface specification format ip:port instead of a local device name.
PARAMETERS
-d device
Wireless interface to serve-c channel
Lock interface to specific channel-p port
TCP port to listen on (default: 666)
CAVEATS
No built-in authentication or encryption; use SSH tunneling for secure remote access. Network latency may affect real-time packet injection. The server must have the wireless card in monitor mode.
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 are on different machines.
