Infiltrator Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Hello, I would like to know how to use wireless alfa card on backtrack Live CD or USB ? please suggest me if you have any idea. Regards Skorpinok. As Mr-Protocol stated, plug it in, then issue the command lsusb. It should display the name of your USB wireless adapter Alfa bla bla. If it does, the next thing you do, is type airmon-ng at the terminal. That will display your adapter chipset, interface name (eg wlan0) and your monitor interface (eg Mon0).

Skorpinok Rover Posted December 25, 2012 Author Share Posted December 25, 2012 Yeah correct.Thank u.Mr.Protocol & Infiltrator. Running BT5 on live USB for emergency purpose is better i guess than to install on HDD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmiBayer Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Hi, I just got my Alfa awus036nhr. After a bit of work I got it up and running on Ubuntu 12.10 machine. I am able to put it into monitor mode using airmon-ng. However, when using it with Wireshark I am only picking up Broadcast packets and no other types of packets are being captured. I have checked and I am running in promiscuous mode when I start the capture session. Does anyone know what I can do in order to fix this? Thanks.

Thanks. first you need to start by learning the difference between promisc mode and monitor mode, and what each modes capabilities, and uses are.
