Sparda Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Install aircrack, you can test that monitor mode works by using 'airmon-ng start <adapter name>' then using either wireshark or tcpdump to dump traffic to a file. You can test packet injection is working with 'aireplay-ng -9'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaik Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 i have aircrack installed and i did what u said spaik@ubuntu:~$ sudo airmon-ng start wlan0 1 Found 5 processes that could cause trouble. If airodump-ng, aireplay-ng or airtun-ng stops working after a short period of time, you may want to kill (some of) them! PID Name 1139 avahi-daemon 1140 avahi-daemon 1219 NetworkManager 1301 wpa_supplicant 4046 dhclient Process with PID 4046 (dhclient) is running on interface wlan0 Process with PID 8175 (dumpcap) is running on interface wlan0 Interface Chipset Driver wlan0 Atheros ath5k - [phy0] (monitor mode enabled on mon0) so what does that mean.. and when i try to test the injection spaik@ubuntu:~$ sudo aireplay-ng -9 No replay interface specified. "aireplay-ng --help" for help. i know i am still learning but i want to learn about this issues and maybe work in the security field so thanks for ur time :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Forgot to mention the following: You need to disable the crazy auto network tool in Ubuntu (just right click and turn it off), it 'tries to take over the world', that is to say, it does every thing it can to keep you computer connected to a network, which results in several other things not working. Also aireplay needs a network adapter on the end, so it's actually 'aireplay-ng -9 <adapter name>'. Also, my experience with Ubuntu and ath5k driver is that once the network manager has had it's grubby hands on it packet injection won't work (at least in 9.04). There is probably a better way than this, but the simplest way to make sure packet injection is working is to blacklist the ath5k driver if you need packet injection, restart, then disable the network manager and load ath5k manually.

h3%5kr3w Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Well, for me personally I have the same network card, and in ubuntu it's almost always pointed toward the drivers. For some reason, Ubuntu's built in/repository drivers don't usually support the functions of aircrack-ng, so I just got the tarball and built from source. *btw, make sure you do an 'airmon-ng ath0 start' (if i remember correctly anyways) to put the card in promiscuous listening mode, and make sure you don't have anything else running that will interfere with it* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
