Docker Linux

The recommended docker run command to be run under Linux host is:

~# docker run --rm \
              -ti \
              --name airgeddon \
              --net=host \
              --privileged \
              -p 3000:3000 \
              -v /path/to/some/dir/on/your/host:/io \
              -e DISPLAY=$(env | grep DISPLAY | awk -F "=" '{print $2}') \
              v1s1t0r1sh3r3/airgeddon

Parameters explanation:

• --rm → Ephemeral containter. It will be removed on exit.
• -ti → Attach pseudo-TTY terminal to the container as interactive.
• --name airgeddon → Name for the container.
• --net=host → Is needed to have access to the host network interfaces inside the container.
• --privileged → Needed to have permissions over network interfaces (mode switching).
• -p 3000:3000 → Open port to access to BeEF control panel from the host.
• -v /path/to/some/dir/on/your/host:/io → It maps a directory from host to the container. Useful to use external files like dictionaries or whatever.
• -e DISPLAY=$(env | grep DISPLAY | awk -F "=" '{print $2}') → It overwrites the needed var to connect to local X Window system. DISPLAY=:0 is used by default so you can avoid this parameter if you already have set DISPLAY=:0 var on your host system.
• v1s1t0r1sh3r3/airgeddon → Is the name and tag of the image. v1s1t0r1sh3r3/airgeddon is the stable version and is the same as v1s1t0r1sh3r3/airgeddon:latest. Alternatively you can use v1s1t0r1sh3r3/airgeddon:beta for development version.

Linux Tips

Volume mapping

Don't forget to replace on docker command the string "/path/to/some/dir/on/your/host" with a path of an existing directory of your choice on your host machine. That directory will be the "input/output" point for the script. For example, if you place a dictionary.txt file there, inside the script you must access to it as "/io/dictionary.txt". If you capture a trophy or a Handshake file, save it at "/io/" dir to access it from the host.

Display problems (resolution detection)

On some distros like Ubuntu, in order to open the possibility of connecting airgeddon xterm windows to your host X Window system, you must launch first ~# xhost + command. You can check if you need it easily. The resolution should be detected inside airgeddon on initial checks. If not is detected, you have a problem with your DISPLAY var. You should launch ~# xhost + command or adjust DISPLAY var on docker run command.

Hostapd possible conflict with host network-manager

Evil Twin attacks are using hostapd to create fake AP which usually are in conflict with network-manager. In native mode airgeddon handle this to solve process conflicts, but when launched in a Docker container is not possible because the conflicting network-manager is on the Linux host (not on container). Anyway, airgeddon will show you a warning as a reminder of this while running on Docker before launch hostapd. So, before launching any Evil Twin Attack, be sure of killing conflicting processes or disabling/stopping network-manager if you have it installed on Linux host or you'll get an error like this:

Configuration file: /tmp/ag.hostapd.conf
nl80211: Could not configure driver mode
nl80211: deinit ifname=wlan0 disabled_11b_rates=0
nl80211 driver initialization failed.
wlan0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->DISABLED
wlan0: AP-DISABLED 
hostapd_free_hapd_data: Interface wlan0 wasn't started

The easiest way is to launch on host this command:

airmon-ng check kill → This will kill conflicting processes.

Or if you prefer, you can directly disable network-manager. To do this there are several ways. Depending on your Linux distribution the command may vary. Some of them are:

service network-manager stop → Valid for Kali, Backbox, Ubuntu, Debian, Raspbian, Parrot and Cyborg.
service NetworkManager stop → Valid for SuSE, CentOS, Fedora, Gentoo and Red Hat.
systemctl stop NetworkManager.service → Valid for Arch, BlackArch and OpenMandriva.

The goal is to see at hostapd window something like this:

Configuration file: /tmp/ag.hostapd.conf
Using interface wlan0 with hwaddr 00:11:22:33:44:55 and ssid "airgeddon-test"
wlan0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->ENABLED
wlan0: AP-ENABLED

Kernel and drivers

It's understood that your Linux host has the needed drivers for your wireless card and its kernel support all the needed features for wireless operations (changing mode managed/monitor) in the same way as is needed to run it in native mode on any Linux system.
