Dave-ee Jones Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 What WiFi card are you using as wlan0? I suspect it doesn't support monitor mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap_Sig Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 What version of kali are you running? More than likely a driver issue. The AWUS036ACH supports monitor and injection but from reports on other forums there is a lot of driver issues. I personally have not used the adapter, but have seen people report the kali default driver does not work and requires updating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap_Sig Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I would do a google search to find some good info on updating the driver to hopefully resolve your problem with the adapter. Several good sources can be found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several good sources can be found. The amount of times I've dealt with posts about the ACH model in the past week is just silly.. So I happen to have this model at home, and I can only reliably use it with a Windows machine. Kali and other Linux-based machines struggle to even see this adapter - and there's a lot of driver magickery to get it working. There's a few tutorials out there for standalone Kali machines (easiest to get working on), but if you've got a setup even slightly different to theirs you'll struggle. I did. See what you can get from the tutorials, but just keep in mind that the more you mess with the drivers the more likely it is not going to work. Best to keep it as clean and simple as possible, otherwise you'll have issues, even if you do get it to see the adapter. E.g. won't inject packets correctly, might drop in and out occasionally (flakey connection), might not think it has monitor mode etc. Use the monitor mode + packet injection driver on Github found here: https://github.com/astsam/rtl8812au That should work provided you follow his steps on a standalone Kali box (or potentially VM).

Bamse Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 Hi! I got it to work after following the tutorial that you gave me and this tutorial http://hightech.lowlife.io/getting-an-alfa-awus036ach-rtl8812au-working-on-a-virtualbox-instance-of-kali-2017-1/amp/ But after restart it all stopped working... I am thinking of returning the item and buying another one instead... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Kali/Parrot for pentesting and both are just 'plug'n'play' with the Alfa cards. Just plug it in and use lsusb / ifconfig to confirm it's there and it's designation (usually wlan1).

Certainly Kali, Parrot, Raspbian, Debian and Mint all recognise the AWUS036H as soon as it's plugged in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-ee Jones Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 12 hours ago, Bamse said: BUMP Whut you bumpin'? The problem with the AWUS036H is that it's super old, and doesn't even support 802.11n (LIKE, C'MON) and has a maximum speed of 54Mbps. That's less than 7MBps. Horrific. (Still faster than my internet speed though) The AWUS036ACH hits speeds of up to 1200Mbps, which is 150MBps. One of the fastest cards on the market at the moment, I would think.

I see this a lot, and several popular programs have issues with the rtl8812au chipset. I prefer the AWUS036NH if you don't need 5 GHz. Works right out of the box with kali and good support. Never have had to load a modified driver for it. But I know, it doesn't support 5 GHz.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like 5 GHz because of the superior speeds, but realistically if you're pentesting a WiFi network you don't really need the speed, just the reliability and a decent connection. 100Mbps would be fine. I like the idea of having a phone with an in-built Nethunter-capable WiFi adapter but I don't think there are many like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixL Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) I like AWUS051NH v2 it works fine in Kali, supports 5Ghz and all the packet injection...good range too. Edited April 23, 2018 by PixL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
