Roflosaurus Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I just recently bought the ALFA AWUS036NEH from the hak5 shop. And i am having trouble making it work with programs like airodump-ng, wash and reaver. It starts the monitor mode on wlan0mon but when i run airodump -ng for example it comes up with nothing even tough i know there are alot of APs close by. (I did the whole airmon -ng check and kill processes beforehand so no issue there) Il have to admit i bought this card without much knowledge about the card, i just assumed since they sold it at the hak5 shop it would be able to do packet injection and monitor mode etc. Is this not the case, did i just waste 20 dollars on a "normal" wireless card? Or do i have some other issue that causes my wireless card to not work? If there is any additional information i can provide just let me know, im sort of a linux noob so im not sure what info to give in a case like this. Any help what so ever is greatly appriciated i really dont wanna bin this card but at this point that is were it is heading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roflosaurus Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 Just as a additional note, i tried getting the card to work in Vmware pro 12, using kali rolling 2016.1\2, kali 2, kali 1.x. I also tried the same using a usb with persistence since i read somewere that the Vmware could cause the issue, but also this to no avail :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roflosaurus Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 Output: 0: phy0: Wireless Lan soft block: no hard block: no I managed to get airodump to work using a usb with persistence, unfortunatly i still have issues with wash\reaver. Problem is that i have done so many diffrent things now i am not really sure what i did to get airodump to work. Has anyone had luck using this type of card with programs like wash and reaver? Is it even capable of injecting packets using aireplay -ng? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainman_34 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 What is your output for wash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roflosaurus Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 Input: wash -i wlan0mon VMware wash output: Blank USB drive output: [!] Found packet with bad FCS, skipping... Also tried using --ignore-fcs that gave me blank output. The program is starting and all but it dont detect anything even tough i have a router in my plab with WPS enabled.
