THESHade Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 #######Spoiler Alert, Noob inside######## So today I received my Alfa AWUS036NH card. I bought this one cause I was recommended AWUS036H one but that supports only 802.11b/g and my network is on n and I want to test and and teach myself on it. I searched the forum for some feedback and I found that it works so I ordered it. so my question is, why does airmon supports only bg? Does that mean I won`t be able to monitor my N-network and traffic on it? or does that mean that I will use a different tool? Would wireshark do the job? I am still only at the beginning of my 'education; on WiFi sec . (I wanted to ask diff. question about drivers but I realized I prob. had only bad configuration of VM) Also, does anyone know a good virtual access point/router that I can use to train and I can set it up with whatever encryption and settings I want??? I don't have any hardware one available and I am unable to change the one I am using to connect to the WAN and I have 2 laptops so I could still use one a s a victim PC'.Would Vyatta do the job or it doesn't serve like that? I try to do a SecurityTube Mega-primer and I can`t really continue w/o an AP. Or if I want to buy one, what should I get if I want to connect it to my 1st router and then I would want to use my 2nd AP as a lab so I can set up different encryption, etc. on it without having to change any settings (or at least not the security ones) at my 1st router. I thought I should get AP/router that supports DD-WRT but I read that it needs to be set to a same encryption ( so if I ahve WPA2 I will ahve to set the AP to WPA2 as well) Is there actually a way for me to do what I want to do?

Mr-Protocol Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Where do you see that aircrack-ng suite only is B/G? I would look for a used old access point for testing, I have lots of WRT54GL's (15x). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THESHade Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) --band <abg> : Band on which airodump-ng should hop That is airodump but its part of aircrack as far as I know and when I try it Error: invalid band (n) Also I found a cool tool airbase-ng which can be potentially used for 1st few basic things I will learn (it will stimulate the AP) but for that I need 2 cards that supports monitor mode and because I am unable to use ethernet to connect to internet so I can`t use a dual-boot on my Desktop PC cause if my PCIe Card isn't supported by BT5 I am pretty much w/o internet and won`t be able to download drivers for it. And laptop cards usually doenst support monitor mode so I won`t even try with that EDIT: When you say that I should buy a used AP/router it sounds like it doesn`t really matter what do I buy ... is that true? I feel like I won`t be able to do what I want with anything Edited October 28, 2011 by THESHade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THESHade Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 BUMP I was thinking. Would Ethernet cable allow me to do so? If I buy anything pretty much? There are some good deals at one website ATM so it would be nice to know it soon. Also, its weird to see some older APs/routers being 2x more expensive than some new ones and they pretty much have the same functions but the old ones usually dont have 810.11n ... I really want to set up my own network cause 'owning' neighbors network isn`t that much fun. I will learn more by practising many stuff on my own network ( I assume) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
