Hi!
No, if you do any upgrade then all the changes made by Zaid will be undone. So please don’t do it.

Your adapter has a weired behaviour, have you installed VBox’s Extension Pack?

Let me know.

Hi Ssamv!
Are you sure you are using the latest custom kali image provided by Zaid? Cause it has the drivers needed already installed. Also you have to install VBox’s Extension Pack.

Then you can try:
Did you add the card to the USB list as shown in lecture 11? If you did, then make sure that you don’t physically connect the card to the computer until Kali is fully booted, connect the card, then go to the devices menu (beside the file menu) >> USB >> Click your device.
If you’ve already done the above, then please try the following suggestions:

– Experiment with connecting the adapter before and after Kali fully loads, and after you log in as root.
– Experiment with setting the adapter to use USB 2 and USB 3.
– Make sure you connect the adapter directly to the computer, don’t use a hub or an extension.
– And experiment with connecting the adapter to different USB ports.

Let me know how it goes!

I bought this wireless adapter AWUS036NHA and i am using custom kali image provided by zSecurity.
Exactly followed Lecture 4.3 on this course but iwconfig or ifconfig is not showing wireless adapter though lsusb output is showing wireless adapter.

root@kali:~# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0cf3:9271 Qualcomm Atheros Communications AR9271 802.11n
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
root@kali:~# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

root@kali:~#

Thanks in advance

Hello,

After the lesson MAC changer I was practicing and I try to code the setting of wireless adapter in monitor mode. If I run it I get the error bufsize must be an integer.

Can you help?
Thanks

#!/usr/bin/env python

import subprocess
import optparse

def get_arguments():
    parser = optparse.OptionParser()
    parser.add_option("-i", "--interface", dest="interface", help="Interface to change to monitor mode")
    (options, arguments) = parser.parse_args()
    if not options.interface:
        parser.error("[-] Please specify an interface, use --help for info")
    return options

def monitor_mode(interface):
    print("Setting {} to monitor mode".format(interface))
    subprocess.call("ifconfig", interface, "down")
    subprocess.call("iwconfig", interface, "mode", "monitor")
    subprocess.call("ifconfig", interface, "up")

options = get_arguments()
monitor_mode(options.interface)

Hi!
You have to specify the name of your wireless adapter instead of wlan0mon, and instead of [interface] the mac address of the router you are attAre you sure you are using the latest custom kali image provided by Zaid? It’s important!ng.

As mentioned in the lecture this method only works against some routers, it won’t work against modern routers or ones that use PBC, Zaid still covered this though cause if it works then its a very good method to get the password as it is guaranteed, if it didn’t work then please try the method explained in the next lectures.
See this method only works if the target uses pin authentication, because when PBC is enabled the router will refuse all requests and all pins even if we send it the right pin unless the wps button is pressed. If you are the attacker you won’t know if your target is using PBC authentication or not, you have to try this method, it is still works against some routers and if it is working it will give you a clear way to get a key.

Hope it helps!

Hi Zaid

Thanks for getting back to me, and thanks for doing such great courses. They’re really helpful.

I will try the above for sure. The only issue is sometimes my adapter doesn’t pick up the 5ghz band even when I specify band A so I can’t determine what channel it’s on (even though I know it’s 44).

I was thinking about running an MDK4 deauth with channel hopping enabled. Would this be a viable alternative?

Thanks again for the suggestion.

For best results you’d want to use 2 different wireless adapters, one for each band BUT it is actually possible to create 2 virtual interfaces from the same adapter and use one on each band, not very reliable and might not work at all but here’s how to do it :

ifconfig wlan0 down
iw wlan0 interface add mon0 type monitor
iw wlan0 interface add mon1 type monitor

Now you have 2 interfaces i monitor mode, mon0 and mon1, so you can use each one of them in a different aireplay-ng terminal window deauthing the target from 2 different networks.

hi all,

I have asked around and googled elsewhere but have had no luck.

I am trying to de-auth devices off my hidden home WiFi network. It is a dual-band AP. When I run the deauth command, it deauths devices using the 2.4ghz band but devices using the 5ghz band remain.

I understand that the Aireplay command was specified to ch6 which is for the 2.4 GHz band but I am unsure if this would still stop the deauth-ing of the 5ghz band.

I was wondering what other options or commands I can run to de-auth all devices off the dual band WiFi on all channels.

I am using an Alfa AWUS036ACH adapter which supports both bands and updated drivers etc.

any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Red!
Thanks.
Now we are just missing the contents of ​start-nat-simple.sh ​and ​hostapd-mana.config.

Can you tell me the exact model of your adapter?(brand and model)

Thanks!
Diego

Hi Danahyousef!
As mentioned in the course requirements you need an external wireless adapter for the cracking lectures 11 to 28, you can do everything else without one though (from lecture 30 and on), just make sure you set Kali to use a Nat Network as shown in lecture 5 and skip the part where I add my external wireless card.
The built in card is not good for hacking, you need a powerful card that supports monitor mode and packet injection, I recommend anything with an Atheros or RTL8812AU chipset.
Checkout the adapters on the following link, they all support monitor mode and packet injection:
https://www.zsecurity.org/shop​

If you’re not sure which one to get the checkout the adapters video in the resources of lecture 11, here is a link to it anyway:

Hi BigRed!
Can I see the result of ​ifconfig ​BEFORE starting mana, and the contents of ​start-nat-simple.sh ​and ​hostapd-mana.config ​please?

Can I also see a screenshot of Kali’s network settings please?
So just right click the Kali machine in Virtual Box >> Setting >> Network, take a screenshot and post it here please.​​​
Also can you please give me the exact model of your adapter?

Thanks!
Diego

Hi Akabueze!
This adapter is not well supported, that’s why you’re having issues with it, you can try to manually install its drivers but it will still give you issues with packet injection and monitor mode, as mentioned in the course requirements you need a powerful adapter that supports monitor mode and packet injection,checkout the adapters on the following link, they all support monitor mode and packet injection:

Hello,

Please I have a question.

When working on a Kali OS RDP system that is already connected to the internet, do I still need to configure my network to allow incoming connections from the internet from outside my RDP network?
I also do own a wires adapter, I only have a wifi modem.

Thanks
