BethKali Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Hi I'm new here but I promise to stay loyal. I love trying new stuff and I admit I'm new to Kali's world I have Kali 64bit installed in a VM hooked up to Alfa USB antenna I'm following this tutorial Tutorial And here's a screen shot of my setup. then i start Kali and run iwconfig and then when I try to Airmon-ng start wlan0 this is what happends.. I tried wlan1 aswell I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.. my results is nothing like any tutorialI found online even when I tried the "easy" Wifite it failed to crack any of the wifi routers it found.. could any of you help? I'll be more than thankful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m40295 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Ok I am I bit confused the first screenshot it looked like you were in moniter mode as wlan1mon On the last screen shot I would say try service network-manager stop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 When it tells you you might want to kill a few processes in case things don't work, and they don't work, you might want to kill a few processes. Just a thought. Another thing is that it literally says "monitor mode vif enabled for [phy0]wlan0 on [phy0]wlan0mon". Given that, why are you invoking airodump-ng on "mon0"?

BethKali Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 he didnt kill any processes in the tutorial so I didn't because I dont know how. also I was following the tutorial steps. and your saying that I should airodump-ng on mon? Like i said Im a noob to kali, and I'm learning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 What it sounds like is not so much that you're a noob to Kali, but a noob to Linux, which would be bad because if so what you're doing is the equivalent of trying to fly an airplane before learning to walk. The goal of running airmon-ng on your wireless interface is to replace it with a new interface specifically for the purpose of monitoring. This monitoring interface, just like your wireless interface, is a thing with a name, which gets reported by ifconfig. So what you should be doing is you start airmon-ng on your wireless interface, check with either ifconfig or iwconfig what name was assigned to the monitoring interface (or, you know, read the output of the airmon-ng start command because it says right there what the name it made for this has become) and take it from there. And just to make clear, what you're currently doing is learning the aircrack-ng suite. What you're not doing is learning Kali. Learning how to start/stop a program is learning Kali (or more specifically, learning Linux) and you should be doing that before you learn to hack with it.

ZaraByte Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Thanks alot for the big help you're a life saver =/ You should always run airmon-ng check kill before you put your card into monitor mode to just figured I'd mention that.

Batman Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Zarabyte is right, try airmon-ng check kill (this will kill all processes that are interfering with you setting your adapter into monitor mode. You can also use airmon-ng check to just run a check to see if there are any processes running that will interfere.) airmon-ng start wlan0 Kali 2.0 lists the wireless adapter as wlan0mon as apposed to kali 1.0.9 would just say mon0. And of course, if you ever need help with a command or how it works you can use the man page for it, which is a manual. Not all commands have them, but most do and they're super helpful. The syntax for using the man for a command like airmon-ng would be: man airmon-ng And if you want to save the man page for later usage or to print it out you can use cat to copy the output to a text file. Example for airmon-ng: man airmon-ng | cat > /root/Desktop/airmon-ng_man_page.txt The above command will print the manual page for the airmon-ng using cat to a text file airmon-ng_man_page.txt to your desktop. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vailixi Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I actually didn't know about airmon-ng check kill I had been running the kill command with the process numbers. kill 569 Somthing like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 And what you should be doing is figuring out (or better yet, knowing before hand) what service started that process, then issue /etc/init.d/<service_name> stop (adjust paths as appropriate for your distro) This is what I mean with needing to first learn Linux itself. You can teach yourself to break into a safe using a thermal lance, but if you want to do it safely and reliably it kinda helps to know a bit a bout the nuts and bolts of the thermal lance, even when you're only interested in the effects of the hot tip.
