zachy Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Hey guys, I have just bough Tenda U1 usb wifi adapter and I'm wondering if it has airmon chipset. I cannot find this information anywhere. Thank you a lot, Zachy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zylla Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) The Tenda U1 has a RTL8192EU chipset (Realtek). There's no such thing as a "airmon chipset". Or were you perhaps asking if the chipset supported monitor mode or injection? If so, yes. It does support monitor mode. I'm not sure about injection though. You might get issues with finding a driver for you linux distribution though, but sources do exist on github, and elsewhere. By the way, you can get cards that works perfectly for monitor-mode+injection out of the box, for a very low price. For example the TP-LINK WN722N, which uses the AR9271 chipset from Atheros. I have several of these. There's also lots of other cool stuff you can do with these dongles. (firmware modding etc.) Edited January 15, 2017 by Zylla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0N3z Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 @Zylla whats the benefits of modding the firmware on a wn722n? advantages and disadvantages? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zylla Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 You modify the "firmware" which is located on the PC, not the firmware which is on the hardware. This firmware is responsible for translating alot of the stuff that happens on the wifi-chip. It turns out that by editing the open-source firmwares for these devices, you can create strong DDoS devices, which works alot better, and more stealthier than regular de-auth attacks, or even mdk3 attacks. And more... Read up, or test it yourself here: https://github.com/vanhoefm/modwifi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
