Kali Nethunter OTG Cable/Adapter question


Exmix

Recommended Posts

So, I have the Nexus 5 phone, Nethunter fully installed, etc. My OTG cable stopped working but I have something similar to this adapter here. The adapter works but I don't think it works that effectively. On the Nethunter Terminal, I choose kali, and run 'lsusb' I see my adatper. I have the TP-Link TL-WN722N adapter and the ALFA AWUS036NEH adapter, which both work for this according to the Wiki. When I run wifite or airmon or anything that involes them, they do not see the adapter. Maybe I am doing something wrong in the setup process here but I feel like I have it right. Could it be my MicroUSB to USB Adapter that's causing the issue and should get another USB OTG or USB OTG Y cable?

Update: Got a new OTG Cable, as well as an OTG-Y Cable, they both see and recognize the usb with lsusb but still not with airmon-ng, wifite, etc.

Found 1 processes that could cause trouble.
If airodump-ng, aireplay-ng or airtun-ng stops working after
a short period of time, you may want to kill (some of) them!

EDIT:

I got this fixed. Apparrently I did not have the specific kernel installed.

Here is what I did:

  1. Flash back to stock

  2. Root & set up TWRP

  3. Download the NetHunter Nightly Install specific to your model/version and kernel for your model/version from this page here 

  4. Transfer the two downloaded zips to the phone

  5. Boot into TWRP and install each. (I don't think the order matters, BUT I installed the Nethunter .zip THEN the Kernel.

I have the same tplink adapter it does the same thing but when I start it with airmon--ng it starts up. Thought it might be the same sitution, guess not!!

I don't think it's the TP-Link adapter. I think it's micro usb to Female USB Adapter that falls short but i'm not sure

Process of elimination - just get another OTG. You can pick some up for like $1 online, or maybe get one from the local store? Should be <$5.

That was my next step. Sadly i'm not aware of any local shops around me that sell any. We don't have many shops. I'll order one online soon enough. Just wasn't sure if anyone knew if this was an issue or if I was doing something wrong.
