Internal Tools

These are internally checked. Not necessary to work, good to have

Command	Possible package name	⋅	Command	Possible package name
xdpyinfo	x11-utils | xdpyinfo | xorg-xdpyinfo	⋅	ethtool	ethtool
lsusb	usbutils	⋅	rfkill	rfkill
wget	wget	⋅	ccze	ccze
xset	x11-xserver-utils | xorg-xset	⋅	loginctl	systemd
arping	arping | arping-th	⋅

It is highly recommended to have the internal tools installed. These tools are not checked as validation at the beginning, airgeddon will check internally if they are available before using them. They improve functionality and performance. For example, xdpyinfo allows the script to detect the display resolution in order to print on windows in a better way (size and position). Or ccze, package that will colorize some outputs for a better user experience.

Of course, the script also uses many standard basic tools that are supposed to be included in any Linux distribution, so they are not checked (cp, rm, grep, md5sum, uname, echo, hash, cat, sed, etc).

Notes about arping

It seems there are different versions of the arping command. There is a version in the iputils package that is not suitable for working with airgeddon. The correct version to use is the one created by Thomas Habets, which is typically installed directly from the repositories using commands like apt install arping or similar (depending on your Linux distribution), as it is available in most repositories. This was introduced in airgeddon >= 11.31. Internal validations are performed, and in the case that they are not passed, the user is alerted and encouraged to install the appropriate version.

Important tips about ccze

ccze decreases performance. It is NOT recommended for arm devices.

  • Disable colorization by replacing the flag allow_colorization=1 with allow_colorization=0 at the beginning of the script
