wpaclean is a small utility included in the aircrack-ng package that is used to clean capture files to get only the 4-way handshake and a beacon.

ivstools is included in the aircrack-ng package and is used to merge and covert .ivs files.

Airodump-ng is included in the aircrack-ng package and is used for packet capturing of raw 802.11 frames. It is ideal for collecting WEP IVs for use with aircrack-ng. If you have a GPS receiver connected to the computer, airodump-ng can log the coordinates of the discovered access points.

Airdecap-ng can decrypt WEP/WPA/WPA2 capture files and it can also be used to strip the wireless headers from an unencrypted wireless capture.
It outputs a new file ending with -dec.cap, which is the decrypted/stripped version of the input file.

Aireplay-ng is included in the aircrack-ng package and is used to inject wireless frames. Its main role is to generate traffic for later use in aircrack-ng for cracking WEP and WPA-PSK keys. Aireplay-ng has many attacks that can deauthenticate wireless clients for the purpose of capturing WPA handshake data, fake authentications, interactive packet replay, hand-crafted ARP request injection, and ARP-request reinjection.

Airmon-ng is included in the aircrack-ng package and is used to enable and disable monitor mode on wireless interfaces. It may also be used to go back from monitor mode to managed mode.

A patch for the popular open-source FreeRADIUS implementation to demonstrate RADIUS impersonation vulnerabilities

Pyrit allows you to create databases of pre-computed WPA/WPA2-PSK PMKs. By using Multi-Core CPUs and ATI-Stream,Nvidia CUDA, and OpenCL, it is a powerful attack against one of the world’s most used security-protocols.
