Installing Gerix on Ubuntu from Backtrack's repository

Installing Gerix on Ubuntu from Backtrack’s repository

GerixWiFiCracker is GUI for Aircrack-ng suite, is designed for pentesting in a realworld with efficent and userfriendly graphic interface.

Note: This small tutorial is based on the repositories from backtrack 5 R1 and ubuntu 11.10 and ubuntu 12.04

The first step is to add those lines to “etc/apt/sources.list”

deb http://all.repository.backtrack-linux.org revolution main microverse non-free testing

deb http://32.repository.backtrack-linux.org revolution main microverse non-free testing

deb http://source.repository.backtrack-linux.org revolution main microverse non-free testing

deb http://all.repository.backtrack-linux.org revolution main microverse non-free testing

deb http://32.repository.backtrack-linux.org revolution main microverse non-free testing

deb http://source.repository.backtrack-linux.org revolution main microverse non-free testing

Once those lines added to the sources.list files you can run the command

$ sudo apt-get update

1	$ sudo apt-get update

And finally to install gerix you can finally run this last command :

$ sudo apt-get install gerix-wifi-cracker-ng

1	$ sudo apt-get install gerix-wifi-cracker-ng

And that’s it.

PS1: If you encounter any errors with PGP while installing / updating (UBUNTU TLS 12.04) any tool try the following commands :

$ sudo wget http://all.repository.backtrack-linux.org/backtrack.gpg

1	$ sudo wget http://all.repository.backtrack-linux.org/backtrack.gpg

$ sudo sudo apt-key add backtrack.gpg

1	$ sudo sudo apt-key add backtrack.gpg

$ sudo apt-get update

1	$ sudo apt-get update

PS2: If you encounter this particular error :

$ sudo apt-get install gerix-wifi-cracker-ng

I think the 64 bits repository is missing:

deb http://64.repository.backtrack-linux.org revolution main microverse non-free testing

Well yeah, you might have to change the repository, since they changed the version, but the process still remains.
