I have aircrack-ng 1.2 beta 3 and I wanted to know how I can find the wireless MAC address (aka BSSID) of any wireless access point with aircrack-ng (or any other program).
I am currently running Ubuntu 14.10.

Use
iw device scan
to show all information about currently visible networks. The output has more than an entire screenful per network, so usegrep
to trim it down:For some very old Wi-Fi card drivers, you'll need the
iwlist device scan
tool instead:Aircrack also comes with the
airodump-ng
tool which repeatedly shows all networks it sees. (You need to enable monitor mode first, using airmon-ng.)
