I recently installed Kali Linux on a spare laptop of mine to test my wifi's security. I checked the supported modes in a console to confirm monitor mode was supported using
iw list
And it indeed shows Monitor Mode in the list. I tried putting it into monitor mode using two different methods
airmon-ng start wlan0
And
ifconfig wlan0 down
iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
ifconfig wlan0 up
Both ways worked, however whenever I monitor my access point using
airodump-ng --bssid MY:BS:ID wlan0mon
It shows my access point and the beacons steadily increase. However, I never see any devices show up even though I have plenty connected and have tried to disconnect and manually reconnect to try and force it to show with no luck.
I've made sure that promiscuous mode is also on using
ip link set wlan0 promisc on
**Questions:**
Am I doing anything wrong?
How can I get devices to actually show up?
