Enki Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Hiya Guys, Coming from a mainly PC background, BackTrack and *nix are pretty new to me! I'm running the BackTrack 4 live CD off a usb stick on my Samsung NC10. If I run iwconfig I can only see a wlan0 adapter, no wifi0 adapter. I can run some of the airmon-ng / airodump-ng / aireplay-ng tools by specifying the wlan0 adapter. If I call 'airmon-ng start wlan0' it creates a new adapter mon0 thats in monitor mode, and can be used for sniffing / injection. What I can't seem to do is get kismet to use the mon0 adapter. It keeps trying to use wifi0 and failing because it does not exist. I've tried specifying ncsource:mon0 as a command line argument, but that didn't change anything. Can anybody point me in the right direction? Cheers! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webdevil Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 doesn't specifying the source as wlan0 work with kismet? ncsource=wlan0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
