Abstract

This chapter profiles Thomas d'Otreppe de Bouvette, the creator of Aircrack-ng. Composed of 16 different programs, Aircrack-ng is the most popular, free, Wi-Fi security-auditing tool suite. Today, every Linux hacking distro includes it by default, and if hacker want to do wireless hacking or auditing, he/she probably either use Aircrack-ng or used it before he/she paid for some commercial product that does similar things. Aircrack-ng is so popular that it shows up in TV shows and movies that are trying to realistically portray their actor as an uber-cool wireless hacker. D'Otreppe de Bouvette has also created and released a wireless intrusion detection program called OpenWIPS-ng. The chapter discusses how he got into computer security and presents his thoughts on wireless security improvement. He explains what all are the biggest problems in computer security.
