In the course we are taught how to crack WEP when there is no traffic by using a fakeauth. I’ve successfully done it on 2.4ghz, but when I try practicing on 5ghz, I am unable to authenticate with the network. When I run the fakeauth command im told “no such BSSID available”. I would greatly appreciate some help on this as I don”t want to move on in the course till I nail this down.

Hi Samuel!
Does you adapter supports 5GHz band?

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

Thanks!
Diego

[samuel cauneac]

Yes my adapter supports 5ghz, its the Alfa AWUS036ACH

Hi!
Are you running reaver before the fakeauth attack?
Let me know.
Diego

[samuel cauneac]

Im running a fakeauth to run a ARP Request Replay attack, but the fakeauth wont work on 5ghz

Hi Samuel!
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!

Hello, thank you so much for the help, but unfortunately none of those worked. At this point im convinced its a bug no one has yet encountered. As a hacker, how do you overcome problems like these? Of course you troubleshoot, but what happens if nothing works?

Hi Samuel!
Then you can try a different vector attack, like making a fake AP replicating the name of your target network. The best thing to do is look at the last lecture of the course (bonus lecture) it contains all the courses that you can take with this course and a comparison between them. The Network Hacking Advanced course shows this kind of techniques.
In the current course you’ll learn one method as well.

Hope it helps!

Hello. there is no bonus lecture for this course, although there is one on the Udemy version. Will the bonus lecture be added onto this one?

[Diego Pérez]

Hi Samuel!

Will pass your question to Zaid.

Thanks!
Diego

Sorry we forgot to do that, we’ll add it ASAP.

Thanks
Zaid
