airpwn is a nice tool to play with, but sometimes hard to install.

First you have to get airpwn from here.
Then install the following things:

  • libpcap
  • libnet
  • libpcre
  • openssl
  • python
  • python-devel

Extract it to a wanted folder and then continue like this:

cd airpwn-1.4
tar xvfz lorcon-current.tgz
cd lorcon
./configure
make
sudo make install
cd ..
./configure
make

And now I had my problems. It showed all the times those errors
/pentest/airpwn-1.4/airpwn.c:404: undefined reference to `PyString_FromStringAndSize'

After struggling around the problem I found the root.
Change in the “configure” file all python2.4 strings to python2.6. You can just copy everything from here which covers the changed names from line number 3741 to 3812.
./configure
make
sudo make install

airpwn was now installed into the /usr/local/sbin directory.
To get it working just by typing “airpwn”move it from /usr/local/sbin to /usr/sbin
sudo cp /usr/local/sbin/airpwn /usr/sbin

To get familiar with airpwn itself read the man page :)

Have Phun!
