Unable to install FLUXION 5.9 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Fluxion is a security and auditing tool re-search tool, it is a remake of the popular linset. This package as itself comes from aircrack-ng suite of tools which is downloaded from Github as a repo and thus compiling this further. Note that the dependency is mdk4 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS version.

We need dependency as shown below in order to get this working in a smooth delightful way.

Kindly note, you need to do this prior to the make and make install, just copy from here and incase if you miss some packages it shall be re-installed.

sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config libnl-3-dev libnl-genl-3-dev libssl-dev ethtool shtool rfkill zlib1g-dev libpcap-dev libsqlite3-dev libpcre3-dev libhwloc-dev libcmocka-dev hostapd wpasupplicant tcpdump screen iw usbutils clang

then. as required from Github, we shall download, clone and make, make install this file by passing the sudo command all the time so that there would not be any compilation errors henceforth:

git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/mdk4
cd mdk4
sudo make
sudo make install

that’s it for now — stay tuned for more as always.
