calguy Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Hello, My AP (Buffalo) has 2 wireless , 802.11b, and one for 802.11n/a. When I go into recon mode, it only detects the 802.11b SSID, and never the 802.11n/a, no matter how long I allow it to scan. Also one other thought - when you click on the open access point said , its hidden by default. If I try to connect to this via my wireless adapter, without a password, it says network not found. This should be similar to not broadcasting your said on a standard wireless connection, however you can still connect. If I uncheck to not hidden, it can find it fine. I was planning on testing with this SSID, to see if I can death my own connection, and how the other tools work with it. Any thoughts on these 2 questions? Thank you!

Mr-Protocol Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 You will need to utilize the USB port and get yourself a compatible 5 GHz WiFi Adapter that will allow monitor mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calguy Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 Thank you Mr. P for your reply. Interestingly, I bought the AWUS036NEH when I purchased the Mark V. It has b/g/n capability. I have it plugged into the USB port but it's the wireless interface that I use to connect to the Mark V, and I use ethernet to connect it to the internet. Do I need to enable one of the other wireless i/f to make this work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 While the AWUS036NEH supports 802.11n it is only on the 2.4 GHz frequency. http://www.alfa.com.tw/products_show.php?pc=34&ps=22 Wireless N is able to be configured in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency ranges.

Crestofiy Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Here is a good 5GHz wifi adapter that should work in kali linux Alfa AWUS051NH v2However I heard that some people had some issues with the drivers so you might go through a nightmare there to get it working here is a video I found on youtube to clear things up (dig in the comments section) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadlyhabit Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Cheers for that Crestofiy. Don't have too many 5GHz networks in my immediate area, but always good to have an adapter that works under Kali for them. Can never have enough tools.
