Monitor Mode

[Broken Angel]

Here it is my first query after ages on a related topic

here is what I did.

I am running Ubuntu 15.10, and I installed Aircrack on it.

When I did

Code: Select all

airmon-ng check kill

it killed all the Network Drives running right???

I restarted it using

Code: Select all

 /etc/init.d/network-manager restart

The thing started all fine. Here is the catch though. Now every time I open up a new tab or refresh the page or prolly wait for some time and leave the system idle I get disconnected.

The Wi-fi icon still shows that I am connected but I cannot connect until I typr in my Wi-fi password again. This happens to me all the time.

What is the solution to this??

Also as you understand by now that I was trying to monitor the networks around me for very obvious reasons, when I try to put the following code

Code: Select all

airmon-ng start <Interface Name>

it gives me the following error

Code: Select all

airmon-ng start wlp2s0

Found 5 processes that could cause trouble.
If airodump-ng, aireplay-ng or airtun-ng stops working after
a short period of time, you may want to kill (some of) them!

Newly created monitor mode interface wlp2s0mon is *NOT* in monitor mode.
Removing non-monitor wlp2s0mon interface...

WARNING: unable to start monitor mode, please run "airmon-ng check kill"

I am using the following Network Adapter

Code: Select all

Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565 / AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter

Also is this Card ok with me monitoring because it seems like this guy don't want me to do that sh*t.

I even went ahead and edited the

Code: Select all

NetworkManager.conf

file with the following code

Code: Select all

[keyfile]
unmanaged-devices=interface-name:wlan0mon;interface-name:wlan1mon;interface-name:wlan2mon;interface-name:wlan3mon;interface-name:wlan4mon;interface-name:wlan5mon;interface-name:wlan6mon;interface-name:wlan7mon;interface-name:wlan8mon;interface-name:wlan9mon;interface-name:wlan10mon;interface-name:wlan11mon;interface-name:wlan12mon                               # 30/08/2015: avoid conflicts with airmon-ng

\


changed the names, removed them and added a couple of new ones and also added the name which my Adapter uses

Code: Select all

wlp2s0

we will talk about how irritating and weird the name of the interface is...
and still no change.

Hope this illustrates my problem properly... Please let me know if I should post more details.


Ooh one more thing. I was trying to do the same with Kali on live but the thing won't move... I got the Interface name as wlan0 in there but when ever I did

Code: Select all

airmon-ng start wlan0

over there it just added a

Code: Select all

mon

at the end of the Interface name and nothing happens. If I repeat the command

Code: Select all

airmon-ng start wlan0

it keeps on adding

Code: Select all

mon

at the end of the Interface name making it look like this

Code: Select all

wlp2s0monmonmon

is airmon started as service automatically maybe? install rcconf and have a look...if it does disable it, so you can start it manually after the iface came up.

so you can start it manually after the iface came up.

Ok the above line meant nothing to me... I mean it did mean something but I couldn't understand what it means, like literally.


Also problem solved :/ that Monitor Mode started working automatically.

When I got to my instructor and told him that I have spend the night trying to do this... He asked me if I could show him how I was trying to do it...

I showed him that and the freaking Card started to Monitor -__- went to Monitor mode as if it was waiting for me to ask this from him...


Any ideas where I can find some good Dictionary files and also some beautiful Brute-force files... Are they same or different????

[bad_brain]

oh well, solved is solved...

brute force and dictionary is not the same, dictionary uses files with word lists, while brute force simply tries every possible combination which needs no external word lists.
for dictionary files have a look here:

Every time I try to

airodump-ng the shit my Wi-fi gets disconnected and I lose the data. What's with that? I cannot ever hack a WPA2 or something? Maybe my Alien Overlords don't want me to succeed :/
