Hi all,
Ive been playing with airbase-ng creating APs with 0 issues for a little while.
Yesterday I performed
Code:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
Since then airbase has been playing up.
It appears to be struggling to apply the essid name.
Viewing on a client i will see the AP "wifi" which I assigned and also "default" AP
airodump-ng shows the essid switching between "wifi" and "default"
These are the commands Im using
Code:
root@kali:~# airmon-ng check kill
Code:
root@kali:~# airmon-ng start wlan0
PHY Interface Driver Chipset
phy0 wlan0 brcmsmac Broadcom on bcma bus, information limited
(mac80211 monitor mode vif enabled for [phy0]wlan0 on [phy0]wlan0mon)
(mac80211 station mode vif disabled for [phy0]wlan0)
Check monitor mode
Code:
root@kali:~# iwconfig
wlan0mon IEEE 802.11bgn Mode:Monitor Frequency:2.457 GHz Tx-Power=30 dBm
Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:on
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
Start airbase-ng
Code:
airbase-ng -e wifi -c 2 wlan0mon
Now seeing 2 essids on my clients "wifi" and "default"
airodump-ng output:
Code:
root@kali:~# airodump-ng wlan0mon -c 2
CH 2 ][ Elapsed: 1 min ][ 2015-12-08 09:58
BSSID PWR RXQ Beacons #Data, #/s CH MB ENC CIPHER AUTH ESSID
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX 0 100 1434 0 0 2 54 OPN default
The essid in the above output flicks between the 2 stated above, one given in the airbase-ng line and the other is the default.
Im now baffled as to what to try next. Everything has been working as it should up until yesterday. Does it look like a driver issue?
Any and all suggestions welcome.
Some support info;
