[@architech5940]

Btw, Ctr + Shift + V/C can be used for copy and paste on Linux machines. I see everyone manually copying and posting in these videos, so I thought I'd give a helping hand by potentially reducing the amount of work you have to do in order to do simple things like copy and paste. Also, it's worth mentioning that you can edit your nano config file to work like vim without annoying issues like saving and exiting file edits. With a little bash scripting, you can have nano working similar to vscode, or vim, if you'd like. The nano config file is located at /etc/.nanorc/. You can edit this file via sudo nano /etc/.nanorc/

[@SAR2325]

Thank you respected sir for your video. May I ask you two questions : - why you have to close two services before initiating the scan? Is it because you didn't want to have other packet exchanges when scan is running? - why did you used external wifi adapter. Why didn't you used built-in laptop wifi adapter? Thank you in advance.

[@michaelsaccone1224]

1) Running network services during the scan can cause packet interferences. 2) the external network card supports monitor mode and packets injection, which is required to capture the pcapng file

[@nikkim9712]

[@nimbuI]

Using multiple cards gives you better channel coverage. You can set them independently to monitor multiple channels, or use one for monitoring and the other for frame injection techniques.

[@JessieS]

[@walzwalzwalz]

I did the updates to hcxdumptool after running into issues with the 2200x hashes while doing a hashcat module on HackTheBox that required us to convert a pcap file. However, I had NO IDEA why the old hashes were depreciated. This is awesome! I hated all the things that needed to "line-up" previously to have a shot at cracking WPA2. It's so much easier to just dump the hashes into my hashcat rig haha

[@IndustryOfMagic]

At 6:03 as the link to those dependencies is nowhere to be found. Maybe they're now integrated as part of latest v 6.3.1

I did that tonight. I had some errors, but I found a way out. Well, the worldlist is your weapon. A big plus is that you can put your laptop in wifi scanning, take your laptop, and go around the block to find more essids and afterwards crack them all at once. The bigger the worldlist, the better 😅

Your content is top quality and easy for beginners to understand and grasp the fundamentals behind every topic you bring to us. I have a question David. I know I could probably Google it and find the answer but I would like help from my favourite online teacher 😁 Question: So with the old method of capturing the hash file we needed to put the network card in monitor mode. In your video I did not see you put the card into monitor mode? So with this new method as long as you have the required network card you don't need to put it in monitor mode! Is that right ?

I have that 2 antenna adapter and use it on Kali and it's plug and play. What other software is needed? Is that why I have to manually switch it to 5ghz?

[@JorgenAndreStenersen]

You mentioned with that AC adapter that you need additional software for Kali. I have had this adapter some months now, and all I have done is installed the drivers like you do in your Kali Linux Wifi Adapter Fix. Is the driver the additional software you where speaking of, or is it something else? Because 90 % of the time it doesn't detect %g networks and can be a bit slow sometimes. So if there is any additional software you are aware of that I need for my adapter, a push in the right direction will make me very happy, especially if the adapter will start working 100 % for the first time with this software.

[@davidbombal]

It's the drivers that I'm referring to. Have you tried using Parrot OS to see if you get better results?

[@JorgenAndreStenersen]

@@davidbombal Okey, thats good to hear because then I most definitely have the wrong drivers installed. Have not tried Parrot OS, but can add it to my VM and try to se if it gives better results. The main thing is that I get handshake and so on, but I always get notified about missing frames, something that can explain why none of my hashes are being found in wordlists or brute force even when I add the password from the captured handshake to my wordlist. I get sometimes when troubleshooting, a message when trying the online converter on hashcat' webpage that the dump file is missing frames. Says it must have been filtered to much, but I haven't touched the cap files before uploading to the converter. And I can't recall what the last error I got, but it had something to do with some hardware to my adapter which indicates wrong driver installation. But since I got the jedi on the line, what drivers do you recommend from Astsam's rtl8812, morrownr 8812 or the ones from aircrack-ng' github page? Or none of them?

Just want to say thank you for all your videos, another great one David, you present it in an easily understandable format - hats off. What virtualization software (or is a cloud based instance) do you use from your Mac and is there a certain version of Kali Linux that you use if you don't mind answering while I wait for part two as it were with bigger GPU or multiple GPUs?

[@ASHOKKUMAR-sf7sx]

Hii Sir I am Getting this errer "driver is not cfg80211 based and not useable" while running the command "sudo hcxdumptool -i wlan1 -o dumpfile.pcapng --active_beacon --enable_status=15"

[@andrewborntrager7909]

So once you have the pcapng file, can you leave and take that to a more powerful computer and brute force attack any password?

[@אריאלנוילנדר]

Hi, grate video! with which software you are controlling the windows laptop from your Mac?

[@linuxdriver]

love the new way has been working on my pine apple nano andgot this all working

[@tigreonice2339]

What is more secure WPA2 psk or WPA/WPA2 psk? (Both with AES) I don't know if wpa/wpa2 means that it is encrypted 2 times by wpa and wpa2 or it means that it works with wpa for devices that don't support wpa2 (which would be like having wpa, thats bad)

[@CM-xr9oq]

wpa/wpa2 means wpa2 is preferred. clients can fall back to wpa if they don't support wpa2

hi david. i do exactly like this video but i got warning = on line 1 (HCPX♦): Separator unmatched on line 2 (j4é█èD): Separator unmatched line 3 (): Separator unmatched line 4 (j4é█èD): Separator unmatched how do i fix this? thks in advance

[@memomemo-cg9or]

can you please show us how to use big GPUs as you mentioned

[@kentharris7427]

Excellent Video. I was able to recover passwords using your methods. I have an NVIDIA 3090 card, it is 5 times faster then a 1650 card. Still took two hours to recover a 10 numbered password however. Looking forward to your next video.

[@louiludog]

For the very last command (windows method) how do I use alpha numeric option instead of only digits? Thanks!

hashcat Built-in charsets , using ?l

[@mrusli1902]

David Bombal, does hashcat work with m1/m2 apple silicon right out of the box?

[@theking-lr2yy]

For example, there are 5 Wi-Fi signals at a distance of 2 km. Can this device(tenda O3) receive them and they appear on the screen of my device OR other point to point devices❤🙏🏼?

[@louiem5985]

That's was awesome video... I was trying to figure out what changed in hashcat. I will have to update my OS. Question for you since GPU are still expensive and hard to get where did you get yours?

[@youngskeamz7270]

David please give us the guidelines on how to easy get use to pen testing as you do such amazing vidoe!

[@CM-xr9oq]

your question doesn't make sense

[@cristianionita8359]

Are there any Wi-Fi network adapters (preferably from Alfa) that: - support monitor mode and packet injection; - are compatible with both 2.4 and 5 GHz; - work out of the box with Kali Linux? Thank you!

[@rap1z]

tplink archer t2u plus is seems to be the most affordable option

[@lordberg3793]

hej David, i am running kali linux on a VirtualBox on a Mac OS as hosting. Do i need to have the alfa antenna to perfrom the commands on terminal & hashcat because im not having success running this setup and commands via wifi connection.

[@ElMundoDelMisterioMX]

I have a problem in hashcat when deciphering a key, the problem is the following: "Hash 'hash.hc22000': Separator unmatched No hashes loaded." what would be the solution, I hope you can help me

[@tntomega]
