Use Alfa AWUS1900 WLAN device in monitor mode on Kali Linux
I bought an Alfa AWUS1900 WLAN device for education purpose with Aircrack, because it has Linux support and some posts/reviews confirms that.

I bought an Alfa AWUS1900 WLAN device for education purpose with Aircrack, because it has Linux support and some posts/reviews confirms that. Sadly I can't get the driver working in monitor mode, especially on the new 5er Kernel.
## My setup
The notebook runs Ubunu 18.04.3 LTS with VirtualBox where I created a VM with the [latest Kali Linux](https://www.kali.org/downloads/) , which is 2019.3 at the time of writing. VirtualBox has the extension pack installed for USB 2 support. It runs as root for USB forwarding:
## My chipset
Since I read reviews about users getting different chipsets for the same device type, I plugged the device in and verified to have the
### aircrack-ng/rtl8812au
I'm not sure if [aircrack-ng/rtl8812au](https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au) is the same driver as the

RTL8814AU
chipset:
root@kali:~# lsusb | grep -E "Realtek*"
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bda:8813 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8814AU 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wireless Adapter
## Not working drivers
A snapshot was created before any driver was installed and after each non-working driver, I went back to the vanilla snapshot to have a clean system and make sure that no older driver influence the current one.
### zebulon2/rtl8814au
[This driver](https://askubuntu.com/questions/981638/alfa-awus1900-driver-support/983834#983834) worked partially when using the Kali Linux snapshot image directly without upgrading packages (there are many updates avaliable). The device got detected and the network manager shows me avaliable APs as well as using nmcli dev wifi
command. But the device is in managed mode:
root@kali:~/rtl8814au# iw dev | grep type
type managed
I can't switch to monitor mode:
root@kali:~/rtl8814au# airmon-ng check kill
Killing these processes:

831 wpa_supplicant

lot entry when putting in monitor mode:

Some posts mentioned a bug in airmon-ng
but say it should work with ifconfig
.
### realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms
According to [this thread in the kali forum](https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?36296-EXTREME-WIFI-SUPPORT-Alfa-Networks-AWUS1900-WORKING) , there is a package called realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms
in the repos that should contain all required drivers. So I installed his dependencies [like described here](https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?36296-EXTREME-WIFI-SUPPORT-Alfa-Networks-AWUS1900-WORKING&p=79079#post79079)
apt install dkms &&
apt-get install bc &&
apt-get install build-essential &&
apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
then the driver package using apt-get install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms
and plugged in my usb wifi device. I'm wondering that I get some error about missing module or filename, but it's not clear for me what exactly is missing and if it's required (since it says installation completed):
88XXau.ko:
Running module version sanity check.
modinfo: ERROR: missing module or filename.
- Original module
- No original module exists within this kernel
- Installation

dmesg
detects the new device, but after a few seconds it got disconnected:
[ 1080.147957] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 4 using ehci-pci
[ 1080.595125] usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0bda, idProduct=8813, bcdDevice= 0.00

[ 1087.695407] usb 1-1: USB disconnect, device number 4
On the first run, this was all I got. But the second approach shows also this VirtualBox error:

realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms
apt-package, so I tried ./dkms-install.sh
there but also no luck, just similar issues.
Altough the snapshot of Kali Linux is outdated for several months (over 800 package updates for a vanilla installation), there seems no kernel update. The following kernel version is the same before and after updating all packages:
Linux kali 5.2.0-kali2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.2.9-2kali1 (2019-08-22) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I'm trying to crack my own wi-fi through WPS using reaver using
sudo reaver -i wlan0 -b 84:9F:B5:71:48:28 -vv
and it keeps outputting these messages repeatedly.
I'm using tp link wn722n wireless adapter v3. It supports monitor mode and packet injection (after a bit of exhaustion). There's one thing that doesn't work on this adapter which is changing its mac address (don't know if that would be useful or not).
I left it for 10 hours and it's still like that.
The problem is the with the error (WPS transaction failed (code: 0x02), re-trying last pin) and that it's stuck on the same pin (12345670)
P.S: I'm a bit of a newbie to linux, so please make your answer detailed.

I have a major problem on my Nethunter. Whenever I try to run "airmon-ng start wlan0" or "airmon-ng check kill" this happens;
~~~lang-text
Error: /proc must be mounted
To mount /proc at boot you need an /etc/fstab line like:
proc /proc proc defaults
In the meantime, run "mount proc /proc -t proc"
Requested device "wlan0" does not exist.
Run /usr/sbin/airmon-ng without any arguments to see available interfaces
~~~
Edit: "airmon-ng" working properly. I can see the interfaces.
I searched a lot and... Nothing. Im stuck with this problem. I already saw a lot questions as same as mine but answers was outdated.

Without any one connecting to it.
The wifiphisher Utility claims to be able to do it , even that i wasn't able to find any info about a ready tool that does that
and the python code isn't clear enough so i can't tell how they do it
Trying to figure out a method to do it passively to add it to a possibly new attack vector
Thanks

didn't help too. How do I install and start to use airmon-ng in my installation?
Upd: here's the contents of apt list --installed | grep aircrack
:

airmon-ng start wlan0
and when i wanna stop the monitor mode i use the command:

When I use the last command, my internet does not come back. In other words, i cant see the networks to connect.
Do I need to enter with another command?

airmong-ng is not found
I have installed aircrack using command `sudo yum install aircrack-ng`. But when I run command `airmong-ng` It gives an error: `Bash airmong-ng command not found`. Do I have to install `airmong-ng` individually? I've tried `sudo yum install airmong-ng`, but package not found.

If I use aircrack-ng in a console, the console shows messages sometimes, ex.: new USB device plugged in when I plug in a new USB device. This messes up the screen and I cannot see that what was the key that has been found after running aircrack-ng for weeks.
**Question:** If we run aircrack-ng in the console (ALT+CTRL+F3 for example) how can we store the found key? Or redirect the system messages sent to the console to devnull?

- And then I found this solution on github:
Installation
git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/mdk4
cd mdk4
make
sudo make install
# Using Arch Linux (and derived) append CC=clang
after any make
in commands.
But the thing is I have no idea how to do this
> append CC=clang
after any make
in commands.
I use manjaro with bspwm environment
What should I do?
edit: So I did the CC=clang thing and this time the error is slightly different:
` error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make

Problems with aircrack-ng, ALFA usb not working/causing internet to shut down?

I apologise if this is basic troubleshooting. I bought a AWUS036NEH, which is recognised and properly appearing in Device Manager in Windows 10.
I am using Debian 10x 64 bit, on Windows 10 via VMWare Workstation. I installed the Windows 10 driver for the ALFA device. My PC has an ethernet connection from a BT wifi disc.
I am using VmWare Workstation, Kali 2020 64 bit. When I go to VM, Removable Devices, I am given the choice to connect my ALFA device to Kali, but disconnecting it from the host. Unfortunately, doing so disconnects me from the internet on my PC.
Connecting the device to Kali (which disables my internet on PC)
root@kali:~# airmon-ng start wlan0
PHY Interface Driver Chipset
phy0 wlan0 rt2800usb Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2870/RT3070
(mac80211 monitor mode vif enabled for [phy0]wlan0 on [phy0]wlan0mon)
(mac80211 station mode vif disabled for [phy0]wlan0)
Can anyone shed any light on this?
I went to Device Manager, and right clicked on my 802.11n USB wireless card, have altered the Country region (2.4GHz); to see if that would help it would seem not....? using anything other than 0,1 or 5, (2,3,4,6,7), my internet cuts out. I am not sure how changing the channl of my wireless card would affect my internet, when it is a plug-in/USB device? I thought perhaps there was a conflict between for Kali, but I am totally basically lost.
Also, when I connect the USB wireless card to VMWare, then ran /usr/sbin/airmon-ng
and I got:
phy3 wlan0 rt2800usb Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2870/RT3070
Then I ran sudo airmon-ng start wlan0
which gave me:
PHY Interface Driver Chipset
phy3 wlan0 rt2800usb Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2870/RT3070
(mac80211 monitor mode vif enabled for [phy3]wlan0 on [phy3]wlan0mon)
(mac80211 station mode vif disabled for [phy3]wlan0)
I then ran sudo airodump-ng wlan0mon
, left it running it for 15 minutes...totally blank.
Interface wlan0mon:
ioctl(SIOCGIFINDEX) failed: No such device
Where am I going wrong? Why is my internet crashing on my PC? Can I have my internet, and use aircrack at the same time?

Airmon-ng differences
When I run airmon-ng on Ubuntu 20.04 terminal it gives me the details for PHY, Interface, Driver and Chipset of my laptop but when using Kali Linux on Virtual box it doesn't give me the details. What could be the problem? Both are updated and upgraded to their respective latest versions.

When I run
airodump-ng
to scan Wi-Fis around me, I get no output, like there's nothing around me.
I have a Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 adapter that's integrated in my laptop (Dell Inspiron 15) and i'm running Kali Linux 64 2019.1
here's the airmon-ng output:
airmon-ng start wlan0
Found 3 processes that could cause trouble.
Kill them using 'airmon-ng check kill' before putting
the card in monitor mode, they will interfere by changing channels
and sometimes putting the interface back in managed mode
PID Name
550 NetworkManager
602 wpa_supplicant
2069 dhclient
PHY Interface Driver Chipset
phy0 wlan0 ath10k_pci Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 31)
(mac80211 monitor mode vif enabled for [phy0]wlan0 on [phy0]wlan0mon)
(mac80211 station mode vif disabled for [phy0]wlan0)
i have tried airmon-ng check kill
but it didn't work, when i run airodump-ng
, here's what i get:
CH 12 ][ Elapsed: 12 s ][ 2019-05-09 19:23
BSSID PWR Beacons #Data, #/s CH MB ENC CIPHER AUTH ESSID
BSSID STATION PWR Rate Lost Frames Probe
with channels switching, i have tried using 1 specific channel yet i found not ports with this solution either.
I have also noticed some error messages when i boot linux related to the network driver:
ath10k_pci 0000:02:00.0: firmware: failed to load ath10k/pre-cal-pci-0000:02:00.0.bin (-2)

ath10k_pci 0000:02:00.0: firmware: failed to load ath10/QCA9377/hw1.0/firmware-6.bin (-2)
I also confirmed that my network adapter supports monitor mode using iw list
and monitor mode appears in the list:
Supported interface modes:
* IBSS
* managed
* AP
* monitor
* mesh point
* P2P-client
* P2P-GO
