New install of Kali rolling and I followed the the kali documentation on installing the nvidia drivers. Everything is up and running but when I do a pyrit list_cores all I get is 8 cores, no listing on my GPU.
I have a ASUS Laptop running i7 and Nvidia GeForce GTX460M CUDA with 1 GB RAM
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r) **However I did have to get this working before I could continue as it wouldn't find any header files.
apt-get install nvidia-kernel-dkms
No problems with this step either
sed 's/quiet/quiet nouveau.modeset=0/g' -i /etc/default/grub
update-grub
reboot
I get this output
root@kali:~# glxinfo | grep -i "direct rendering"
direct rendering: Yes
Then I checked to see if pyrit could see my GPU like other posts show
root@kali:~# pyrit benchmark

if this the correct output? Or should I be seeing my GPU listed?
I was thinking my GPU should be putting out much better PMK's than whats listed so I'm just wondering if I did something incorrect. I read a few posts about installing the proprietary NVIDIA driver and even downloaded it but I wanted a second opinion before I did.
Thank you
