Downloaded and tested FERN today.

Excellent work!

Welcome to the forum.

We will all expect great future activity from you on the forum!

Looks absolutely great.

I'd also recommend removing the matrix 1 and 0 background...it just kind of looks bad overall. Everything else looks great though.

That looks great, I'll be downloading it when I get home. Thanks!

Excellent, I am glad to see a more welcoming attitude emerging here.

My offer to make the backgrounds a bit less intrusive still stands, all you need to do is send me the images

[savioboyz]

Thank you citruspas, for helping with the darkening of the binary image:

If you think the binary image is too intrusive. You can replace it with the darker image.
the new image is at the same Google page where the project is hosted.

replace it in this directory /usr/local/bin/Fern-Wifi-Cracker/resources/ or any directory you choose to place it.

the picture name is binary_2.png

replace the old with the new but with the same name "binary_2.png"

I know it's not much, but it kind of bothered me. Figured I might as well try and help out (can't really code except some bash scripting but I can do some photoshopping)

I was running fern.py directly... tried running execute.py and it seems to work correctly... maybe a short "README" to suggest how to run it?

Also it needs a function to shut down and clean up after itself. There is no good way to shut down WEP cracking after it is started without leaving aireplay-ng and airodump-ng running... so if you want to change attack modes or if you don't find the WEP key you have to manually clean up.

Also it creates new VAPs every time its started - not necessarily a bad thing but another thing to manually clean up.

A "stop" function that would kill all the stray processes would be very helpful, along with a button to manually create the VAPs would be good.

But I do think this is a very good start on a useful tool.

When a program crashes, python always prints the exceptions raised.... (fern.py) is the main program ,(execute.py) runs fern.py but first of all cd's into its directory.... The rest are ui generated files...

Which of them did you run?..
I expected them to be reported as bugs

Hmm!, actually it does cleanup after certain attack events, on line 1246 you find this

    
def key_found(self):
        self.cracking_label.setEnabled(True)
        self.cracking_label.setText('<font color=yellow>Cracking Encryption</font>')
        self.finished_label.setEnabled(True)
        self.finished_label.setText('<font color=yellow>Finished</font>')
        self.wep_key_label.setEnabled(True)
        self.wep_key_label.setText('<font color=red>%s</font>'%(WEP))
        self.wep_status_label.setEnabled(True)
        self.wep_status_label.setText('<font color=yellow>Wep Encryption Broken</font>')
        commands.getstatusoutput('killall airodump-ng')
        commands.getstatusoutput('killall airmon-ng')

NOTICE Killall airodump-ng

It does not kill processes until attack wep key is found.. which is logical.. it the dump files were deleted during attack.. wep key would never be found..

You find "killall" command on numerous lines in the source code.

And the cleanup is also always done.. But when a new attack is initiated attack.. this is logical beacause there would be times where aircrack was not able to find key from your dictionary file, and you need to get the dump file so you can use it with an exetrnal cracker.. The dump file will be there until you press the new attack button

On line 498 you can find something like that

    
    def scan_wep(self,arg,arg2):
        monitor = str(reader('/tmp/fern-log/monitor.log'))
        commands.getstatusoutput('rm -r /tmp/fern-log/*.csv')
        commands.getstatusoutput('rm -r /tmp/fern-log/*.cap')
        commands.getstatusoutput('rm -r /tmp/fern-log/WPA/*.csv')
        commands.getstatusoutput('rm -r /tmp/fern-log/WPA/*.cap')

The cleanup "rm" is also found in some numerous sections.

THE README file i completely forgot..

The Scan Button is a dual button, it can also be used to stop scan by pressing again
