michael_kent123 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) I am trying to use Cookie Cadger: https://www.cookiecadger.com/ It requires an interface to be set in monitor mode. I have never had a problem with this before. I use sudo airmon-ng start wlan0 which creates mon0. I now have the wlan0 in managed mode plus: mon0 IEEE 802.11bgn Mode:Monitor Frequency:2.437 GHz Tx-Power=20 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off However, when I run the Cookie Cadger .jar file: tshark: there are no interfaces on which a capture can be done. Capture device search complete with 0 devices found. I found a guide to Cookie Cadger here (https://ctrlaltnarwhal.wordpress.com/2012/11/04/using-cookie-cadger-for-live-packet-capture/) which also provides some different ways of using monitor mode (https://ctrlaltnarwhal.wordpress.com/2012/11/02/cookie-cadger-is-free-but-how-do-i-use-it/). It suggests sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor. However, if wlan0 is in use (connected to the network I want to sniff) I get: sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode monitorError for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Device or resource busy. So I sudo ifconfig wlan0 down then sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor then sudo ifconfig wlan0 up. I then iwconfig and get: wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn Mode:Monitor Frequency:2.437 GHz Tx-Power=20 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:on But when I load the .jar file I get the same error as before. Does any one have any ideas how I can successfully use this program. I can put wlan0 and mon0 in monitor mode but, for whatever reason, Cookie Cadger does not find them. Or maybe I am missing something obvious and just can't see it? Many thanks! Edited January 31, 2013 by Sebkinne Fixed title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_kent123 Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 OK. Did it. The solution was to use airmon-ng start wlan0 then sudo -jar CookieCadger.jar (rather than clicking the icon). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
