I'm running a virtual Kali machine on VirtualBox and want to connect my USB WiFi adapter to said VM.
Here are some details:
Host OS: Windows 8.1
Guest OS: Kali Linux 1.1.0a (amd64)
USB Adapter: TP-Link TL-WN725N
The adapter works perfectly during normal use in the VM and the iwconfig is as follows:
eth0 no wireless extensions.
wlan0 unassociated Nickname:"<WIFI@REALTEK>"
Mode:Managed Frequency=2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Sensitivity:0/0
Retry:off RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
lo no wireless extensions.
However, the device fails to show up in airmon-ng:
Interface Chipset Driver
And running airmon-ng start wlan0 returns: (killing the processes didn't do any good)
Found 3 processes that could cause trouble.
If airodump-ng, aireplay-ng or airtun-ng stops working after a short per
iod of time, you may want to kill (some of) them!
-e
PID Name
2188 dhclient
2275 NetworkManager
2809 wpa_supplicant
Interface Chipset Driver
And airodump-ng returns:
nl80211 not found
Am I doing something wrong? Or does the adapter simply not support monitor mode?
Or do I need some drivers to get this working?
Best Answer
Try this:
And make note of your interface name, for example
wlan0
. Then type:Then start monitoring mode:
Now run
airmon-ng
once again and note the new name of interface which will be something like this:wlan0mon
Now run airodump-ng with interface name as well:
