Sec Aircrack Ng

License: MIT MCP Kali Linux

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides WiFi security auditing capabilities using the aircrack-ng suite. Commands are executed on a remote Kali Linux system via SSH, enabling AI assistants to perform authorized wireless security assessments.

Features

• Monitor Mode Management - Enable/disable monitor mode on wireless interfaces
• Network Discovery - Scan and enumerate wireless networks with detailed information
• Packet Capture - Capture packets from targeted access points (background operation)
• Handshake Capture - Deauthentication attacks to capture WPA/WPA2 handshakes
• Password Cracking - Attempt to crack captured handshakes using wordlists
• Remote Execution - All operations run on a remote Kali system via SSH

Prerequisites

• Kali Linux System - With aircrack-ng suite installed
• SSH Access - Passwordless SSH recommended (key-based authentication)
• Wireless Adapter - Compatible adapter that supports monitor mode and packet injection
• Node.js - Version 18 or higher

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/schwarztim/sec-aircrack-ng-mcp.git
cd sec-aircrack-ng-mcp

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build the TypeScript code
npm run build

Configuration

Configure the server using environment variables:

Variable	Description	Default
KALI_HOST	Hostname or IP address of Kali system	kali
SSH_USER	SSH username	kali
SSH_KEY	Path to SSH private key file	(none - uses default)
CAPTURE_DIR	Directory for capture files on Kali	/tmp/aircrack-captures

Claude Desktop Configuration

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aircrack-ng": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/sec-aircrack-ng-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "KALI_HOST": "192.168.1.100",
        "SSH_USER": "kali",
        "SSH_KEY": "/path/to/ssh/key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Available Tools

Connection & Setup

Tool	Description
test_connection	Test SSH connection and verify aircrack-ng installation
airmon_check	List wireless interfaces and their status
airmon_check_kill	Kill processes that interfere with monitor mode
airmon_start	Enable monitor mode on a wireless interface
airmon_stop	Disable monitor mode and restore managed mode

Scanning & Capture

Tool	Description
airodump_scan	Scan for wireless networks (returns BSSID, channel, encryption, ESSID)
airodump_capture	Start packet capture on a specific target (runs in background)
airodump_stop	Stop a running packet capture
airodump_status	Check status of a running capture

Attacks

Tool	Description
aireplay_deauth	Send deauthentication frames (helps capture WPA handshakes)
aireplay_fakeauth	Perform fake authentication with AP (for WEP attacks)

Cracking

Tool	Description
aircrack_crack	Attempt to crack WPA/WPA2 handshake using a wordlist
aircrack_check_handshake	Verify if a valid handshake has been captured

Utilities

Tool	Description
list_captures	List all capture files in the captures directory
cleanup_captures	Delete capture files
get_interface_info	Get detailed information about a wireless interface

Typical Workflow

A typical WPA/WPA2 security assessment workflow:

1. test_connection              # Verify SSH connectivity and aircrack-ng
2. airmon_check                 # List available wireless interfaces
3. airmon_check_kill            # Kill interfering processes
4. airmon_start(wlan0)          # Enable monitor mode -> wlan0mon
5. airodump_scan(wlan0mon, 30)  # Scan for networks (30 seconds)
6. airodump_capture(...)        # Start capturing target network
7. aireplay_deauth(...)         # Deauth to force handshake
8. aircrack_check_handshake(...) # Verify handshake captured
9. aircrack_crack(...)          # Attempt to crack password
10. airodump_stop(...)          # Stop the capture
11. airmon_stop(wlan0mon)       # Restore managed mode

Security Considerations

• Authorization Required - Only use on networks you own or have explicit written permission to test
• SSH Security - Use key-based authentication and restrict SSH access
• Capture Files - Captured data may contain sensitive information; handle appropriately
• Legal Compliance - Ensure compliance with local laws and regulations

Legal Notice

WARNING: Unauthorized access to computer networks is illegal in most jurisdictions.

This tool is intended exclusively for:

• Authorized penetration testing
• Security research on networks you own
• Educational purposes in controlled environments
