buddy-ng

buddy-ng [options]

buddy-ng is a companion tool for easside-ng that runs on a remote computer with Internet access. It receives and echoes back decrypted packets, allowing easside-ng to access WEP-protected wireless networks without knowing the key.The tool works by having the access point itself decrypt the packets, then forwarding them through buddy-ng.

Buddy-ng listens on port 6969 by default, which is the standard port used by easside-ng for communication.

1. Start buddy-ng on a remote server with Internet access2. Run easside-ng on the attacking machine, specifying the buddy-ng server3. Easside-ng establishes TCP connection with buddy-ng4. Packets are decrypted by the AP and forwarded through buddy-ng5. Internet access is achieved without knowing the WEP key

Building buddy-ng requires the --with-experimental flag when compiling aircrack-ng:

$ ./configure --with-experimental

Only useful with easside-ng for WEP network attacks. Requires a publicly accessible server to run buddy-ng. Only use on networks you own or have explicit authorization to test. WEP is deprecated and should not be used for security.
