What's up community, So I was going through the Wifi-Megaprimer series from Vivek / securitytube.net - good stuff. Anyways, there was a section on "Alfa Card kung-fu" which basically talked about changing tx power and things of that sort by altering the Country Code for the regulatory domain. What I'm wondering, is if there is any way to change the "disabled" frequencies to be "enabled". I'm sure it's based off the Country Code as well so i'm thinking there is no way to do this??? That's what brings me to asking my fellow nerds. *My screen shots are to big and i don't really have time to mess with em at the moment* OS: Kali Linux 1.0.7 NIC: Dual Band Alfa Card 802.11 a/b/g/n - AWUS051NH - Ralink chipset - monitor works, tested with Airodump - Injection works, tested with aireplay-ng -9 -b xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx mon0 --ignore-negative-one -9 = test -b = BSSID --ignore-negative-one = !#$%@#$@##$@#%$!#$@%@#$@ Tools: Kali Alfa card Wireshark - for verification Aircrack suite test AP ifconfig wlan* down #replace the wildcard with your adapters number iw reg set BO # BO is the country code, the codes tell your NIC what rules to follow based on the countries FCC equivalent. Originally mine was set to GB - Great Britain i believe. iwconfig wlan* txpower 30 # in dBm (Decibel mW ), my card was at 27 dBm (.5W) by default - this changed it 30 dBm (1W) - I'm pretty sure the FCC wont like this to much, testing purposes though :-> ifconfig wlan* up # blah blah blah anyways... after unplugging the Alfa from the comp and going to lunch, it reset itself back to default plug a interface in, turn it on if you need to and run the command: iw list #shows details about the wireless cards, you can scroll down and see the freq/channel. That list is what the question revolves around. side notes: *yes, i have Googled and researched for half of today to no avail* * doing this has made my card temporarily act a bit funny when running Airodump-ng - random stops, slow channel scanning, no displayed results* *the card seems to change back after unplugging it* - not to sure if there is a comit or anything that I missed but this is just testing anyways so.* * You may or may not have to take the interface down to make the change, a few times while trying this i didn't do "ifconfig wlan down" but "iw list" showed the changes take effect while the card was up the whole time* Thanks in advance guys/girls, take care

Hello h5 comnity, I have several things in this situation and is a bit extensive and take serveral topics, I have a machine with this specs: Micro: Intel Core i7 930 OC 3.5gz MB: MSI X58pro E RAM: 24gb DDR3 1600mhz Drives: OCZ SSD 128gb for Main OS and adicional 3TB So here is the thing, I saw in a resent video to Mr.D auditing a wifi with cowpatty running 20k+ keys per seccond in a eee pc... well I runing a BT5r3 x64 as a guest in VB installed in Win8 x64 with all cores and 3d activated in the box but cowpatty is running only 1k of keys/secs.... And I wondering why is this? .... Other thing that I noticed is when the BT boot up my ALFA ans set [ifconfig wlan0 up] the card start to flicker like it has a lot of activity but does not... And the final issue I thinking in combine this items: ALFA AWUSO36H with Amped WA12, what do you think about this... Thanks any help with this
