Test if Your Wireless Network Adapter Supports Monitor Mode & Packet Injection [Tutorial]

[@shabadooshabadoo4918]

Some tips for anyone who couldn't get it working: To make the wifi adapter show up I had to fully update kali linux, to get my card into monitor mode I had to use the command iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor, and then after that instead of referring to your card as wlan0mon it will just stay wlan0 for the rest of the tutorial.

[@shabadooshabadoo4918]

@Wanna Chill Should still work. Make sure your adapter is compatible with monitor mode I guess. As long as it is then there will be a way to get it working though it appears to me that the names and stuff can be different from what the video explains.

One note to add is to do "airmon-ng stop wlan0mon" so as to release the adapter from monitor mode. verify this with "ip a" Also you may have to restart your terminal to see these changes in ifconfig

I have 4 different routers with the latest version of openwrt. One one router the wifi AP vanishes for no specific reason after a while I am seeing (gasp) if putting it into promiscuous mode makes it work for any random reason. I am not sure if this means the same thing to all wifi adapters and what it specifically means. I think what it means is it absorbs all packets for a ESSID with a key. Since it is in sort of bridge I think that is not really bad,

And if I try to start airmon-ng, it tells me to kill the Network Manager before I continue, but this shuts down my network manager (ad thus internet connection) on Kali. So idk what to do..
