Other Distros

If you are not using Kali, you can still compile EAPHammer. I just haven't written a setup script for your distro yet, which means you'll have to do it manually. Ask yourself whether you understand the following:

• python-devel vs python-dev
• service vs systemctl
• network-manager vs NetworkManager
• httpd vs apache2

If you looked at this list and immediately realized that each pair of items was to some extent equivalent (well, except for service vs systemctl, but you catch my drift), you'll probably have no problems getting this package to work on the distro of your choice. If not, please just stick with Kali until support is added for other distros.

With that out of the way, here are the generic setup instructions:

Use your package manager to install each of the dependencies listed in kali-dependencies.txt. Package names can vary slightly from distro to distro, so you may get a "package not found" error or similar. If this occurs, just use Google to find out what the equivalent package is for your distro and install that instead.

Once you have installed each of the dependencies listed in kali-dependencies.txt, you'll need to install some additional packages that ship with Kali by default. These packages are listed below. If you're on a distro that uses httpd instead of apache2, install that instead.

• dsniff
• apache2

Compile hostapd using the following commands:

cd local/hostapd-eaphammer/hostapd

make hostapd-eaphammer_lib

Open settings/core/eaphammer.ini in the text editor of your choice and edit the following lines so that to values that work for your distro:

# change this to False if you cannot/will not use systemd

use_systemd = True

# change this to 'NetworkManager' if necessary

network_manager = 'network-manager'

# change this 'httpd' if necessary

httpd = 'apache2'

Finally, if you're interested in using the Autocrack feature, figure out how to get a working asleap binary installed on your system.
