For some reason DHCP assigning two different third octets for physical and virtual machines connected to the same home router. Network settings of Kali are set to NAT. I’ve trying with ALFA adapter connected and without in monitor mode or managed mode. Of course they cannot communicate to each other and airodump-ng doesn’t show all stations connected to home LAN, so I stuck with this problem.
I will be grateful for any help.
octets can be searched and reached from any of the octets to any others, you just need to specify which subnet (i.e how many of the bits are the network address and how many for the hosts)
192.168.0.0/8 would be the typical ‘last (fourth) octet’ being for your devices as you are thinking now
192.168.0.0/16 would include the third and fourth octets for devices
10.0.0.0/24 would include second, third, and fourth octets
0.0.0.0/32 would include all of them
I’m presuming your trying to play with wifi hacking using both wifi adapters, one to deauthorise and the other to capture. Whils this is a fun proof of concept, its only useful on really old access points that use either WEP or WPA version 1.
newer devices using WPA2 or WPA3 encryption are almost impossible, it can be done, but usually would take so long as to be ridiculous…
So nice speaking to pro like you Fred.
