bsd-airtools and 5.1-REL

[A. Wright]

Hello All!

I found this email today on the freebsd-mobile mailing list. Has anyone
heard from h1kari on this? h1kari, are you still alive? :-)

I'm exicted that Sam Leffler is working on FreeBSD's wi driver. I don't
know how many of you know it, but FreeBSD's, and I think one or both of the
other *BSD's wi drivers don't work correctly in rfmon mode (ie, when you run
prism2ctl wi0 -m). You can see proof of this if you run ethereal or
tcpdump. In rfmon, ethereal will just show almost all [malformed packet]
entries, and tcpdump will show a bunch of nonsense usually including
"Broadcast sap". Sam, and a few others, are working on this. I'm looking
forward to being able to use the same wireless tools that linux, and even
OSX, users have been using for quite some time now.

Just a reminder, there is a BAT channel on IRC. It's #bsd-airtools on
IRC.FREENODE.NET. Idle there, as news reports come though sporadically
(h1kari, could you idle there? :-) ). There's also info on there about
testing h1kari's reinj code, which is also an exciting concept in the
wireless world!

Subject: Re: bsd-airtools and 5.1-REL

I just aquired a Netgear MA 401 (PRISM 2.5). As noted in this thread
bsd-airtools work no longer with 5.1-R (what I have). This was some
weeks ago. How is the current status? Are there any working patches for
dstumbler?

The monitor mode changes went in the tree a while ago. I don't believe
they were in 5.1-R so you'd need to look in -current.

Not to mention that the interface bsd-airtools is expecting has changed.
It seems that bsd-airtools needs attention but I hear the author no
longer maintains it. We cannot be expected to change every app that used
an old interface. There were some patches floating around a few weeks
back that supposedly got the lucent (hermes chips) working, but prism
support was not fixed (in my testing at the time). Since then I'm sure
things have changed. ;)

Aaron,

Thanks for the update... It's great that there's some people working on
this. Also, I'm definitely planning on releasing a partially finalized new
version of bsd-airtools sometime before defcon (by the end of the week). I
have beta code up at:

http://www.dachb0den.com/users/h1kari/work/.0-day/bsd-airtools-v0.3.tgz

For those that want to test it out... Here are some of the features / fixes
that I've included:

- much faster reading, cracking, and memory handling with dwepcrack
- fixed the node screen not refreshing with dstumbler
- fixed chanlock with no aps segfaulting the program with dstumbler
- fixed the hidden ssid problem
- patched the bat/common.h missing includes stuff
- patched the dstumbler audio so it works better
- patched dstumbler so it supports gpsd
- updated uio mac address and default ssid tables
- included wnet and a new patch that works with openbsd 3.3

One thing that I'd like to add in before the final 0.3 release is:

- current netbsd patches
- current freebsd wnet patches
- port over the freebsd ath driver to openbsd
- add support for the ath (Atheros) driver for both dstumbler & wep cracking

Either way, test it out and let me know if there's any problems...

Also, for those of you that are going to defcon, we will be participating in
CTF and the wifi shootout, so please feel free to stop by and say hi. We
will be making some dachb0den t-shirts this year, so let me know in advance
if you're interested in getting one (for a small donation of $10). You can
check out the current design at:

Thanks,

Cool:

I am glad I am not imaging things. Just installed 5.1 on laptop
and now can't get it into monitor mode or dstubler to work (yes did portuprade
on bsd-airtools) too.

In Free 5.0, things seemed to be working fine (i.e rfmon &dstumbler),
but now that I have moved to 5.1, they are on the fritz .
