Changes in airmon-ng output

For those that have not noticed

The Command:

airmon-ng start wlan1

No longer produces a monitor mode designation wlan1mon. You now simply get the same wlan1 designation.

You can check the monitor mode status quickly by retyping:

airmon-ng start wlan1 a second time. You will get a notice that the device is already in monitor mode.

You're wrong.

While with most drivers it is wlanXmon, some don't have VIF and just turn the interface in monitor mode

I use this now, Put sudo in front of each command if your not root

Code:

---

ip link set wlan0 down
iw wlan0 set monitor control
ip link set wlan0 up

---

And if you want to shutdown Network Manager

Code:

---

systemctl stop NetworkManager.service

Thank you for the useful info.
