Hey there I'm gonna show you how to enable monitor mode in Kali Linux 2.
The traditional way for monitor mode is this. ( in my case wlan0 your might be different )
Code:
airmon-ng start wlan0
Interface Chipset Driver
wlan0 Realtek RTL8187L rtl8187 - [phy0]
(monitor mode enabled on mon0)
but in Kali Linux 2 I get an error like this.
Code:
ARP linktype is set to 1 (Ethernet) - expected ARPHRD_IEEE80211,
ARPHRD_IEEE80211_FULL or ARPHRD_IEEE80211_PRISM instead. Make
sure RFMON is enabled: run 'airmon-ng start wlan0 <#>'
Sysfs injection support was not found either;
To enable monitor mode in Kali Linux 2 you have to do the following steps:
Code:
ifconfig wlan0 down
iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
ifconfig wlan0 up
Now the card is in monitor mode. Type the following to see some Access Points around you
IMPORTANT
try to inject with aireply-ng to see if the injection works
Code:
aireply-ng -9 wlan0
if the injection is not working you have to install the compat-wireless driver for you card.
