bowler Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Hi. What are the terminal commands to put the AWUS036H into monitor mode on Ubuntu 9.04. I assume I can do it using airmon-ng. Can someone post the full set of commands. including putting it into and taking it out of monitor mode. Do I have to issue a stop to it first and then a start etc. Tried to find it here on the forums and google but came up empty. Thanks.

Netshroud Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 close: sudo airmon-ng stop wlan0 sudo airmon-ng start wlan0 [channel number] replace wlan0 with your adapter name (wifi0, wlan0, ath0...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingo Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Maybe this is noob somehow, but I never input the channel in 'airmon-ng start <interface>'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d4rkfe4r Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Its a good idea sometimes if you know the exact port of the AP you want to crack.. and every now-and-then when im trying to catch packets on a specific AP my ALFA likes to jump channels and doesnt like to stay on the one the AP is using.. very annoying :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 You probably also need to turn off the network helper tool that sits in the system try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metatron Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Can't you just use something like sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowler Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 Can't you just use something like sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor You probably could but from reading there is a specific way using airmon-ng that is used with the this Card and the RTL8187/RT8187 drivers. And I believe it is what Psychosis has said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d4rkfe4r Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Can't you just use something like sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor Yes but using the airmon commands make it easier and simpler :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
