Installed Backtrack 3 and Booting On my Acer Laptop, Aircrack-ng crashes?
Heyy All Newbies, and Member's
I'd appreciate it if my problem is solved because i've been trying to solve it for weeks now,lol.
So i have a Acer laptop, and have succesfully downloaded backtrack (linux distrubution) and all is booting and functioning to a reasonable extent. However the only problem i am facing is when i open the shell konsole, and type "aircrack-ng", my laptop just freezes for 5 seconds, and i get a blank screen, and then backtrack 3 loads up again from the start, bringing me back to square one.
er, Yup, Checked along time ago, the four programs that i use within the aircrack suite are airmon airodump and aireplay, they all work absolutely fine, i can set my card to go into monitor mode, scan on the correct channel, get a wpa handshake (tested on my own home router), but when it comes to the airodump-ng command, my computer just comes to a halt, and KDE is reloaded all over again, like my laptop could not even handle the request or something.
Any suggestions amani? or ani other newbie or member?
All i did was decided to do a roll back, go back to Backtrack 2, so i did now everything runs twice as fast, and i can run aircrack, i like the way the aircrack folder is inside radio network analysis, it was hard to find that in backtrack 3 because the folder wasnt visible
