New Alfa awus036ach help

[airhogger]

Hi Soledge,

I got the driver working with injection on an older Kali distro. But guess what, the new Kali release, comes til Linux 4.9.0 kali4 headers, and the installation of the driver asks for kali3 headers so it doesn't install properly.

I think the driver must be updated, or I need to understand something. Cause, it doesn't work.

Anyways, Soledge, don't use a VM because then it won't work.
If that doesn't work and you see an installation error message, then try an earlier Kali release.

The device works in virtual machine if you enable USB 3.0 support-
If you have problems with the dkms package you can always install the source.
The drivers used to build the dkms package are taken from there: https://github.com/astsam/rtl8812au
I just updated Kali Linux.

And injection is working

About the naming problem, if you want the inetrface to ba called wlanXmon

sudo ifconfig wlan1 down
sudo ip link set wlan1 name wlan1mon
udo ifconfig wlan1mon up

And now you have wlan1mon in monitor mode...


5Ghz does work!
pixiewps attack with the device and astsam's drivers against my ac access point

PIN and Key are recovered immediately

You should go to the GitHub branch of astsam and read the closed issues and opened ones, a lot of things are explained.

Thank you for providing this info. Im having troubles using the adapter to find APs. all of my other adapters find quite a few more than the one my ACH found.
I tested it on my Alfa NH, NHA and WN722N. all cards found at least six access points but the ACH. what gives?
I also adjusted the txpower to see if that would have any effect but it didnt seem to help

Be sure to clean any previous installation before installing the drivers you want to try.
You really have to use airmon-ng check kill or kill any process such as wpa_suppplicant, network-manager before using monitor mode.
I see what you mean, i don't know the exact reason, it can happens, i think when you start the PC with the USB plug-in. I am not really sure, i have been trying many drivers for more than one year in different distributions,
Anyway in latest kali, that what happened to me with airodump-ng

Very bad! I should have a full shell of PA in less than 10 seconds. and i do not even have 15
So
1) I brought the interface down again ifconfig wlan1 down
2) Unpluged the USB device
3) Plug it again
4) enable mode monitor iwconfig wlan1 mode monitor
5) bring the interface up ifconfig wlan1 up
Now it works as it should:

I did not even scanned for 4 seconds and my shell was full.
The day and the night... Don't ask me why. Network manager and System.d are bitches.
