Aireplay-ng Wrong Channel

[okiwan]

ok i have been at this for hours and one site takes me to another to another to another telling me to patch things for my chipset and i think im over complicating the solution.

this is what happening:

#airodump-ng --bssid <insert BSSID> --channel 6 --ivs -w <filename> mon0

then i leave that running an open up a new terminal

#aireplay-ng -5 -b <insert BSSID> mon0

no source MAC (-h) specified. using the device MAC (**:**:**:**:**:**) on channel -1

mon0 is on channel -1, but the AP uses channel 6

WTF?!?!? every where i look it says to keep airodump-ng running on channel 6, which i am doing. and as far as i know there is no option to change the channel on aireplay-ng.

lovely people of the hak5 forum...please help.

edit: this is a fragmentation attack BTW thats the -5.

airplay shouldn't be used with the monitor adapter, it should be used with the actual adapter (wifi0, wlan0, ath0 etc.).

it still says the same thing.

[Mr-Protocol]

even though it says channel -1 does it still work?

you could iwconfig and manually set the card to channel 6 before starting your commands.

i figured it out. when setting up monitor i had to set the channel.

#airmon-ng start wlan0 6

and i had to use wlan0 in aireplay-ng not mon0 like sparta said.

thanks guys!

I would not encourage people to use GUI "do it for you" programs.

Understand how it works, why it works, and how to do it.

All the GUI's do is use the command line aircrack-ng suite anyways...

i like using the terminal. it seems more real. GUI's seem like a toy that a 5 year old could use. theres a greater sense of achievement with the terminal.

iwconfig <interface> channel <channel>

cahange the channel using this command then run aireplay-ng
