How to repair the broken Freeradius-WPE default install on BackTrack 5 r2

Hi to all!

In my last hack lab I’ve played with some WPA-Enterprise hacking techniques. Then, I’ve see that the Freeradius-WPE default install in BackTrack 5 r2 don’t work out of the box (Segmentation fault problem). So, after some searching on Google, I’ve make this to work.

If you need to make Freeradius-WPE work on BackTrack 5 r2, follow this steps.

First, install the package libssl-dev:

apt-get install libssl-dev

Next, download the new Freeradius-WPE package:

wget http://www.opensecurityresearch.com/files/freeradius-server-wpe_2.1.11-1_i386.deb
dpkg --install freeradius-server-wpe_2.1.11-1_i386.deb
ldconfig

Create your certs:

cd /usr/local/etc/raddb/certs/
./bootstrap

Now, Freeradius-WPE should work. Launch it with:

radiusd -s -X

    1. I’m sorry but I do not use the 64 bit version of BackTrack.
      Have you tried to follow the procedure in the 64 bit version?
