Prevent Ubuntu From Killing Monitor Interface

[stepking2]

So, the problem I have is that Ubuntu, specifically network related proccesses, kills my monitor interface, so I can't capture any packets (handshake, spesifically).

When running Airmon-ng, it says that some proccesses can stop Airodump-ng, Aireplay-ng etc. from working. I've tried killing those proccesses, but no change.

Then I tried stopping networking, both with init.d and service. Service did not stop anything and init.d killed Unity.

So, does anybody have a clue?

You need to stop network-manager so it won't interfere with aircrack-ng suite.

service stop network-manager[/CODE]

should work :)

I tried that, didn't work.

But I think I've found the problem. Airodump-ng isn't reporting that it has found a handshake, but looking through the pcap file comfirms all EAPOL messages and the file is not damaged.

Have you tried updating it?

apt-get remove network-manager
