$ sudo airserv-ng -p [666] -c [6] -d [wlan0mon]
copy
Start on specific interface
$ sudo airserv-ng -d [wlan0] -p [666]

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.
