Lab 3: Building Aircrack-ng RPM from Source

Intro:
This lab focuses on grabbing a source rpm of any Linux command line application (in this case I chose to work with Aircrack-NG). The platform I will be working on is Fedora 13 x86_64.

Aircrack-ng is a set of tools to retrieve and manipulate the 802.11 WEP and WPA-PSK protocol packets in order to test your network for security (or gain unauthorized access).

Preparation:
Install rpm developer tools needed to prepare and build the final .rpm files.
$ yum install rpmdevtools

Setup the correct directory structure using rpmdev-setuptree. Running this command directly will create a folder called rpmbuild in your home directory.
$ rpm-setuptree
$ ll

Download and install the source rpm of aircrack

$ yumdownloader --source aircrack-ng

$ rpm -i aircrack-ng-*.src.rpm

Unpack the source tarball located in the ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES

$ cd ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES

$ tar zxvf aircrack-ng-1.0.tar.gz

$

$ ll *       # Checks the untarred files

$ cd ../SPECS

$ less *.spec

# To check for build dependencies. Look for the line that starts with BuildRequires. This will tell you what packages you need in order to build aircrack-ng

BuildRequires: sqlite-devel openssl-devel

Install the dependencies:

$ yum install openssl-devel sqlite-devel 


Building the rpm:

$ # Compile and build the rpm
$ rpmbuild -ba aircrack-ng.spec


At the end of the build you should see this (if everything worked without errors):

Comments:
This was a straight forward build with only 2 dependencies. Enjoy the final product!

Lab 1: Building NLED and GAMMU on Fedora 12

Compiling and Installing NLed.
NLed is a lightweight text editor developed at Seneca. The compile and install process is very straight forward.

To install NLED on your Fedora box follow the following steps:
1. Download nled tarball
$ wget http://cdot.senecac.on.ca/software/nled/nled_2_52_src.tgz

2. Untar
$ tar -xvz nled_2_52_src.tgz

3. Install Development Libraries
$ su -
# yum groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"
# exit

4. Compile and Install NLED
$ make
$ make install

That's it for NLED. Very straight forward!

Compiling Gammu and Wammu GTK from source.
Gammu is a command line GSM phone management tool. Wammu is a front end to gammu and will assist newer users to automatically configure gammu to work with their phone.

$ cd ~/Downloads

$ wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/gammu/files/gammu/1.28.90/gammu-1.28.90.tar.bz2/download

$ wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/gammu/files/wammu/0.34/wammu-0.34.tar.bz2/download

$ tar jxvf gammu-1.28.90.tar.bz2

$ tar jxvf wammu-0.34.tar.bz2

$ yum install libdbi python-gammu wxBase wxGTK wxGTK-gl wxGTK cmake

$ cd gammu-1.28.90

$ cmake

$ make

$ make install

$ cd ../wammu-0.34

$ python setup.py build

$ su - 

# python setup.py install
# exit

Run Wammu
$ wammu

Week 1: Communication Lab

Welcome to my SBR600 Blog Page!

Hi! 
My name is Yauheni Khabian. However, I prefer that people call me Eugene or simply Gene. I am a CTY student completing my 6th semester at Seneca@York.

Setting up IRC:
I chose to use Xchat because I already had some previous experience with it. Here is how I installed Xchat on Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala).

First open terminal: press ALT+F2 and type in "gnome-terminal" into the empty field followed by Return.
Next check what packages are available (you might have to add some sources to your /etc/apt/sources.list):


bccp@bccp-laptop:~$ sudo apt-cache search xchat
[sudo] password for bccp:
xchat-gnome - a new frontend to the popular X-Chat IRC client
xchat-gnome-common - a new frontend to the popular X-Chat IRC client
bleachbit - delete unnecessary files from the system
pidgin-plugin-pack - Collection of Pidgin plugins
xchat - IRC client for X similar to AmIRC
xchat-common - Common files for X-Chat
xchat-gnome-indicator - XChat-GNOME Indicator Plugin
xchat-guile - Guile scripting plugin for XChat
xchat-indicator - XChat Indicator Plugin
xchat-otr - Off-the-Record Messaging Plugin for X-Chat
xchat-xsys - x-chat plugin that can display your current system statistics
xul-ext-ubuntu-it-menu - Firefox extension for a quick browse of Ubuntu-it community

Now install xchat-gnome:
bccp@bccp-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install xchat-gnome

Go into Applications>Internet>XChat IRC and set your username, nickname, real name and select the server you want to join. In this case FreeNode.
At the channel popup box type in seneca to join #seneca channel and click Connect.

Chat away!

<ykhabian> hello there, doing my week 1 communication lab for SBR600 :)
<atpruteanu> heh
<kweber1> hey
<kweber1> me too
<ykhabian> nice, pretty straight forward lab but i can see how this course can cause some headaches
<atpruteanu> true but that usually means we're learning something
<ykhabian> yup, no pain no gain
* Marina has quit (Quit: I'm not here right now.)
* Marina_Y (~chatzilla@CPE0022b0b53b33-CM00159a64d6be.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) has joined #seneca
* vbluzmans has quit (Quit: leaving)
<ykhabian> so what irc client is everyone using here?
