Widy/Post Install

Imagine a wireless aircraft carrier, communication systems up, radios on, ears open, listening carefully, avoiding being observed itself. Attack aircraft come and go from the deck. It's launching dozens of attacks, readying more, and packed full of goodies to keep it running for the long term.

Now imagine the equivalent for wireless attacks. That's what this little TP Link battery powered router will become, when we're through with it.

The Procedure

We'll start by upgrading the on-board software, and installing some tools of our own.

Install Software Packages

Once again we'll use opkg to install packages.

Wireless Toolz

Let's ugprade our wireless toolz.

$ opkg update
$ opkg install wireless-tools

Other Stuffs with opkg

There's lots of goodies in the opkg package lists, too. First, general-purpose utilities:

$ opkg install python
$ opkg install nmap

Now tools for wireless attacks:

$ opkg install aircrack-ng
$ opkg install kmod-tun # for airbase-ng to work
$ opkg install macchanger
$ opkg install mdk3
$ opkg install reaver
