BUDDY-NG(1)

💖 BUDDY-NG 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is buddy-ng — a whole little helper tool from the General Commands Manual (section 1, she's a user command, very main character) that exists purely to be the ride-or-die sidekick for easside-ng. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

buddy-ng — a tool to work with easside-ng. that's it, that's the job, and she does it flawlessly. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

buddy-ng <options>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe. buddy-ng is a server whose entire personality is echoing the decrypted packets back to the system that's running easside-ng — and the reason you'd want that is so you can access the wireless network without knowing the WEP key. yes fr fr, that's the whole point. ✨

the way it works is genuinely iconic: you get the AP itself to decrypt the packets for you. the AP is out here doing the heavy lifting and not even knowing it. 😭

and the moment you run it? it automatically starts and listens on port 6969. no config, no ceremony, she just shows up and starts listening. periodt.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -h — shows the help screen. when in doubt, ask her for help, she'll never judge. 🥰
• -p — don't drop privileges. that's it. that's the flag. if you want her to keep her powers, say -p. 💅
