Plenty of tutorials out there on getting a Raspberry pi up on a network various ways. I rather enjoy the command line so I simply
sudo vi /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
move to the bottom and i something like
network =
{
ssid="networkname"
psk="passwordfornetworkname"
}
esc :wq and if you spelled everything right your in like flynn. If you don't know the wifi name you can scan with
sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
(sudo stands for superuser do I think, what it means is "I made you and I have a hammer above your hard drive so do what the heck I tell you to" in linuxeese. The windows equivalent is only known to bill gates and hackers.)
but what if you don't have the password? Well that is a bit more involved. I don't have the whole process down yet but I'm starting with Aircrack-ng.
you'll need some libraries.
sudo apt-get -y install libssl-dev
sudo apt-get -y install build-essential
not a bad pair to have around anyway. now we need aircrack itself
wget http://download.aircrack-ng.org/aircrack-ng-
in ended up with aircrack-ng-1.2-rc1.tar.gz so that means I have to
tar -zxvf aircrack-ng-1.2-rcl.tar.gz
makes a folder called aircrack-ng-1.2-rc1 so cd into that and type
make
then go get a sandwich, watch tv... come back later... when you have a prompt again (after a refreshing nap)
make install
you should successfully install aircrack. What to do with it? well we will figure that out in another post.
