Many of the uses of  Ubuntu is that  you can crack wireless networks. I recently moved to Ubuntu 12.04 and found that aircrack-ng was NOT in the repository. So here's a simple How To install Aircrack-ng on Ubuntu 12.04.

So we will be compiling aircrack-ng from the source.But there are errors, mostly to do with a variable called -Werror in the source. This is what you need to do to compile aircrack-ng without the pesky errors.

Type your password.
