-aircrack is an 802.11 WEP and WPA-PSK keys cracking program that can recover
-keys once enough data packets have been captured. It implements the standard
-FMS attack along with some optimizations like KoreK attacks, thus making the
-attack much faster compared to other WEP cracking tools. In fact, aircrack is
-a set of tools for auditing wireless networks.
+aircrack-ng is a set of tools for auditing wireless networks.
+It consists of 802.11 packet capture and injection programs,
+an utility for static WEP and WPA-PSK cracking and tools which
+handle (decrypt, convert, merge, etc.) WEP/WPA capture files.
-WARNING: Only to be used for surveillance of your own network. Use with care.
+Some tools are still experimental, and are not built by default.
+To build them run the SlackBuild script like this:
+
+ AIRCRACK_EXPERIMENTAL=yes ./aircrack-ng.SlackBuild
+
+hwloc is an optional dependency that may improve performance on
+SMP systems.
