MAKEIVS-NG(1)

💖 MAKEIVS-NG — the makeivs glow-up, bestie 💖

okay so this is makeivs-ng, a General Commands Manual girlie, and she has exactly one job: making dummy IVS dump files with a WEP key you already know. No cap. Let's get into it 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

makeivs — generate a dummy IVS dump file with a specific WEP key 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

makeivs <ivs file> <104-bit key>

like. two things. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so makeivs-ng is a tool designed to generate an IVS dump file with an inputted WEP key. literally what it says on the tin, bestie.

the aim of is tools — yes, the original says it like that, we're keeping it, it's iconic — is to provide a way to create dumps with a known encryption key for tests. that's it. that's the whole main character energy. you want a test dump, you know the key, you don't wanna go capture real traffic like a peasant. she's got you 🫶

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

🌸 Common options 🌸

• -b <bssid>, --bssid <bssid> — Set the BSSID (Access Point MAC). yes bestie, the AP's MAC address, you know the one 👑
• -f <num>, --first <num> — Value for the first IV generated. like, where does the IV counting start? you decide ✨
• -k <key>, --key <key> — Target network WEP key in hex. Separator between bytes is accepted but not necessary — so you can put the little separators in, or you can rawdog it, both are fine 💅
• -s <num>, --seed <num> — Seed used to setup random generator. May be used in combination with -p or --prng. so if you're going random mode, you can lock in the seed and get the same chaos every time 🔥
• -w <file>, --write <file> — Filename to write IVs into. where the dump goes, obviously 🎀
• -c <num>, --count <num> — Amount of IVs to generate. Default value is 100000. that's a lot of IVs, she's committed 😭
• -d <num>, --dupe <num> — Percentage of duplicate IVs. sometimes you want the messy real-world energy, so you can sprinkle dupes in 🍓
• -e <num>, --error <num> — Percentage of erroneous keystreams. yes, you can deliberately make some of them wrong. for science. for testing 🧚
• -l <num>, --length <num> — Size of keystreams. Default: 16 bytes. keep it 16 or go feral, your call 💜
• -n, --nofms — Ignores weak IVs. no weak IVs, no FMS, just clean output 🌈
• -p, --prng — Use random values when generating IVs. Default is to use sequential values. so it's random girlie vs. orderly girlie, and orderly is the default, no cap ⭐
• --help — Show help screen. she's helpful like that 🫶

✨ EXAMPLE ✨

makeivs makeivs -w out.ivs -k 123456789ABCDEF123456789AB

yes, the command really is makeivs makeivs in there. that's the example. we did not touch it. we do not touch the example. 🙈
