UPDATE: Modern Bash Wifi Connection Script for Linux; goodbye network manager

An update to a previous post.  This script has some more command line features, including a random_config_mode.

The random config mode can be used to check several AP's in the area for internet access.  In internet cannot be found, the script will randomly try another connection until internet can be found again.  The timer to check for internet access is randomly set between 60 to 90 seconds for an extra touch.
A preferred AP can be initially chosen in the random mode, so if it does fail, another connection will become selected.  In no way is this script perfect, results may vary depending what distro you are using.

Completely run from the command line.  Great for Raspberry Pi.

Disable NTP sending out requests on Raspberry PI Linux

As beautiful as NTP is, NTP chatter can pollute your network traffic.

Forget removing NTP services, that is too dramatic for the system.  A simple hack is to edit the /etc/ntp.conf file and remove the servers.

sudo nano /etc/ntp.conf

scroll down and hash out the lines like below:

# You do need to talk to an NTP server or two (or three).
#server ntp.your-provider.example

# pool.ntp.org maps to about 1000 low-stratum NTP servers.  Your server will
# pick a different set every time it starts up.  Please consider joining the
# pool: <http://www.pool.ntp.org/join.html>
#server 0.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst
#server 1.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst
#server 2.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst
#server 3.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst


Control-X and yes to save

Restart NTP:
sudo /etc/init.d/ntp restart

Check syslog
cat /var/log/syslog

Compiling mdk3 on Raspberry Pi Raspberian for a wifi hell

Compiling mdk3 on Raspberry Pi Raspberian.  Tested on the on the stock upgraded Raspbian distro kernel 3.6.11+.

After you get aircrack-ng suite installed and working, this is a no-brainer.

wget http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~p_larbig/wlan/mdk3-v6.tar.bz2

extract
tar -xvjf mdk3-v6.tar.bz2

cd mdk3-v6


make

then move the mdk3 file somewhere where the shell can pick it up like
/usr/local/bin/

Compiling aircrack-ng suite on Raspberry Pi Raspbian

Why, because you can.  I'm doing this on the stock upgraded Raspbian distro kernel 3.6.11+.

Prerequisites are a brain, knowledge of Linux and Raspberry Pi.  Casual tech self-abusers should go and do some research first and yes the Pi is helping them come out the woodwork.

Compiling from the source down not work, it has not been upgraded for a while.  Just check out the SVN.


sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev subversion iw
svn co http://trac.aircrack-ng.org/svn/trunk aircrack-ng
cd aircrack-ng
make
sudo make install

airmon-ng is no longer compiled during make by the looks of it, but it is in aircrack-ng/scripts

You can make it executable by doing a chmod +x airmon-ng, then copying it to the same path where aircrack-ng is natively installed.  i.e
/usr/local/bin/

To get airodump-ng to work properly, you may need to kill all the services that airmon-ng complains about then it is running.
Go to /etc/init.d and
sudo ./ifplugd stop

then sudo killall all the rest of the processes that airmon-ng complains about

PID    Name
1589    ifplugd
1617    ifplugd
2380    dhclient
16076    ifplugd
16088    wpa_supplicant
16146    wpa_cli
Process with PID 16076 (ifplugd) is running on interface wlan0
Process with PID 16088 (wpa_supplicant) is running on interface wlan0
Process with PID 16146 (wpa_cli) is running on interface wlan0


Seems to work ok

pi@raspberrypi /etc/init.d $ sudo aireplay-ng -9 mon0
