As described on their official website, Aircrack-ng is a complete suite of tools to assess Wi-Fi network security. It focuses on different areas of Wi-Fi security:
- Monitoring: Packets capture and export data to text files for further processing by third-party tools
- Attacking: Replay attacks, deauthentication, fake access points and others via packet injection
- Testing: Checking Wi-Fi cards and driver capabilities (capture and injection)
- Cracking: WEP and WPA PSK (WPA 1 and 2)
