Bamse Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Hi!Can the AWUS036H do all the same things as the AWUS036NHA?Like injections and so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-ee Jones Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 After a super quick Google ("AWUS036H packet injection") there are some that say they have issues with it and others that say it works straight out of the box. It is a very old card, but still considered one of the most reliable out there. If you have one lying around, try it - if you're planning on buying one, don't. Probably get something a bit newer that at least supports N. I've got an AWUS036CH but it's drivers are quite finicky with Linux (Windows is plug and play), but it supports AC which means faster WiFi, and I don't need to use it for Linux much (could just get some cheap WiFi adapter that does packet injection). A 10 second Google search is all it takes :) Not saying we don't like questions, of course :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or could you recommend another one? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap_Sig Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 If you have a particular goal in mind for the adapter you may want to check that it is compatible. Like @Dave-ee Jones said, a google search can give you some helpful information from other peoples experiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0phoi5 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Probably already covered this replying to another topic, but I have 2 x AWUS036H myself and they are excellent. The AWUS036H works out-of-the-box with Kali & Parrot and the range is fine. Using a Yagi and line-of-sight, they'll cover a 1 mile range with an OK signal acquisition. Using the default antenna they come with, you'll still get 100 meters line-of-sight, which is good for most pentest scenarios. And yes, they inject and monitor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said in another thread though - maximum throughput of 54Mbps, no 802.11n support, USB 2.0 (tbh, that probably fixes half the driver issues with the ACH), etc. etc. Very old card.

The throughput and USB 2 really isn't a problem for pentesting. I could quite happily hack with a potato and a piece of copper wire, if it gets the job done. No 802.11n support could be a pain, I guess, but I've personally yet to come across a situation where I've needed this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap_Sig Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 The AWUS036H has been a long time reliable adapter. I recommend the AWUS036NH with rt3070 chipset if you want N support and newer chipset than the rtl8187 (still been around a while). Some don't like the AWUS036NH due to no 5 GHz but that just depends on your needs really. I'd really like to give AWUS036ACH a go but haven't seen a reliable guide showing good support of the adapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
