Hi!
The one you have should work pretty well, I have one with the same chipset and works great.

May be try:
– 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.

Hope it helps!
Diego

I am almost positive it is my wireless adapter. Can you recommend any other adapters for both 2.4 and 5g? Or would I be better off getting the recommended 2.4 adapter?

adapter is Alpha AWUS036ACH

Hi!
By the channel number you have mentioned it looks like you are trying to attack a 5GHz band, can you tell me the exact model of your adapter?(brand and model)
Can you share a screenshot with the results of airodump-ng where we can see the network you are trying to attack? In this case your own network

Thanks!
Diego

Hello diego, I am running them both at the same time and now it just says that my adapter is on one channel and the ap is on another. For example
wlan0 is on channel 165, but the AP uses channel 11

[justin741008]

Also if it does run and the station number does not change i get an error sayin wlanx is on channel xxx but the ap uses channel 1. It is specified to use channel running airodumb=ng so why is my adapter changing channels and not capturing channel 1?

I got it to work by changing the settings usb to usb 2. Fixed it for now at least. With this adapter I am finding it does weird things and works correcting part of the time. Sometimes it works good other times it does weird shit.

Hi!
Are you sure you are using the latest custom kali image provided by Zaid?

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.

Hope it helps!

Also I am using the recommended Alfa adapter for the 2.4 and 5g

My adapter is Alfa AWUS036ACH. I have ran this multiple times with no issues at all. For more context… i hadn’t tried packet sniffing in a while because I was learning the MITM attack. During learning the attack I did connect the adapter for the first time to a wireless network (which was mine). Maybe connecting it for the first time messed something up? Just trying to give as much info as possible, maybe it’s useful.

Hi!
Can you tell me the exact model of your adapter?(brand and model)
Is this the first time that you try it?

Thanks!

Hello, I was setting up my adapter to run airodump-ng, but then this happened. This is the first time I am experiencing this issue.

root@kali:~# ifconfig wlan0 down

root@kali:~# iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor

Error for wireless request “Set Mode” (8B06) :

SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not permitted.

I couldn’t find any solutions online

I would greatly appreciate help on this. I also ran through this problem too:

root@kali:~# ifconfig wlan0 up

SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill

Hi,

I purchased a Alfa AWUS036AC and have gotten it working on my host machine which is a Linux distro based on Ubuntu 20.04 by manually installing the RTL8812AU drivers.

However, when I try to connect it through the Virtual Box USB settings, it does not detect the adapter and I cannot add it to the list of USB devices. Do you know of any way to get this working if Linux is the host machine?

[Marek Kovalcik]

Hello, I have a problem while setting up a captive portal.
Here is a printscreen: https://pasteboard.co/JhBFnyA.png
i am using this adapter: https://zsecurity.org/product/realtek-rtl8812au-2-4-5-ghz-usb-wireless-adapter/

I have the dnsmasq.conf and hostapd.conf files. I added the redirecting part to 000-default.conf file for apache2.
Then I run following (these lines I have in start_captive_portal.sh)
#!/bin/bash
service network-manager stop
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables –flush
iptables –table nat –flush
iptables –delete-chain
iptables –table nat –delete-chain
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT

dnsmasq -C dnsmasq.conf
hostapd hostapd.conf -B
ifconfig wlan0 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
service apache2 start

And got these errors:
root@kali:~/CaptivePortal# ./start_captive_portal.sh
iptables: Directory or file does not exist c/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

dnsmasq: failed to bind DHCP server socket: Address is in use
Configuration file: hostapd.conf
Using interface wlan0 with hwaddr 54:c9:ff:00:16:57 and ssid “Free WiFi”
wlan0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->ENABLED
wlan0: AP-ENABLED
Job for apache2.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See “systemctl status apache2.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details.

Can you help me?

So how do I go about ‘attaching’ the adapter to kali? I am in the process of testing this over the virtual network. Already have my ports forwarded.
