If I use aircrack-ng in a console, the console shows messages sometimes, ex.: new USB device plugged in when I plug in a new USB device. This messes up the screen and I cannot see that what was the key that has been found after running aircrack-ng for weeks.

Question: If we run aircrack-ng in the console (ALT+CTRL+F3 for example) how can we store the found key? Or redirect the system messages sent to the console to devnull?

I know it's an old question, but I came through this and my suggestion is to use the -l option. From man aircrack-ng

-l <file> 
     Logs the key to the file specified. Overwrites the file if it already exists

So for example:

aircrack-ng -b 00:01:02:03:04:05 -l result.txt dump-01.cap

Maybe you should redirect output from aircrack-ng to file?

aircrack-ng -b 00:01:02:03:04:05 dump-01.cap > /path/to/file

If you want see output on screen and in file you should use tee

aircrack-ng -b 00:01:02:03:04:05 dump-01.cap | tee /path/to/file

  • since aircrack-ng shows almost every password tried... this would generate an enormously extreme big logfile, maybe this isn't the solution – LoukiosValentine79 Dec 06 '15 at 13:20
