Aircrack-NGUI Becomes Educational

A feature has been added to Aircrack-NGUI that allows you to view the shell commands run to accomplish your tasks. There are several "modes" to the log:

• Off: This is the default mode. No commands run are written against the hard disk.
• Important: Only the real "action" commands are recorded. Any commands to build menu lists aren't recorded. Also known as "scripting mode" as it's the fastest way to make shell scripts in NGUI.
• All: Also known as "paranoid mode". You want to know everything that NGUI is doing to your system.

These different modes can have several positive effects:

• Educational. Do you want to know the different command arguments for what you're doing on the graphical end? Just do your pen testing with either Important (recommended) or All mode and view what the program is doing.
• Script-building. Want a quick-and-easy way to break into your WEP-encrypted WiFi because your mom keeps changing the password? Break into it once and make a script out of it. No longer can she force you to do laundry to get your Internetz!

Release package to come later when I'm at my virtual machine.

Dig Added to the NGUI Feature List

Heigh ho, heigh ho, it's off to look up DNS entries we go...

Dig, the DNS lookup entry tool, has been added to NGUI with profiles enabled. You can save dig lookup configurations and recall them at later time, as well as save the dig results to a HTML or TXT file. Please note that the current build may have display issues due to a major change of how profiles are handled in the background. After the next two feature implementations, that's next on my list to get fixed.

The Hackee Becomes the Hacker!

That's right, you saw the image correctly. Very strong strides are being made for Aircrack-NGUI to run on Windows! It won't be able to own your nemesis as well as its more penguin-y brother, but tools such as nmap and the basic networking tools can still work under NGUI. A new branch has been made in the repository for this change, so you don't need to download the Windows compatible version if you're running Linux. Once I've completed support, I'll merge the branches together again. Just be patient, Windows-users! Your time will come soon enough!
