Once I put the device properly in monitor mode, then I ran airodump! : ~# airodump-ng wlan0monĪfter letting this run for a while, I had a fair amount of SSIDs and beacons detected! Unfortunately, nothing in my immediate vicinity was running WEP.įinally, I ran Wash to find out if there were any weak WPS devices that I could use to test out my new card.

I verified the monitor mode device by running ifconfig and viewing the output. (mac80211 station mode vif disabled for wlan0) (mac80211 monitor mode vif enabled for wlan0 on wlan0mon) Phy0 wlan0 ath9k_htc Atheros Communications, Inc. If airodump-ng, aireplay-ng or airtun-ng stops working afterĪ short period of time, you may want to run 'airmon-ng check kill' : ~# airmon-ng start wlan0įound 3 processes that could cause trouble. To do this, I started airmon-ng on the wlan0 device. With everything properly connected and configured, it was time to set up monitor mode. To verify the connection, I again ran iwconfig and had a wlan0 device this time. I then connected my device to my workstation, VirtualBox detected it, and then automatically passed on to the VM. As you can see, there are no wireless devices connected to my VM yet. Once I created a new blank filter, I just added the appropriate Vendor ID and Product ID and saved it.Īfter I had the device filter setup, I detached the device from my workstation and logged into Kali. That said, I ran into some issues with the default filter, so I had to create a blank filter with the proper values.

Once I got the device out of the box, I hooked it up to my workstation.Īfter I connected the card, VirtualBox detected it for USB pass-thru.įirst, I wanted to set up a device filter so that it would automatically be connected to my VM. To start, the Alfa AWUS036NHA I ordered came with a 9dBi antenna, which was awesome. WEP 64/128, 802.I recently picked up a new Alfa AWUS036NHA to play with for wireless testing, scanning, and general signal boosting. The adapter is compatible to the following operating systems: Windows 2000 / XP / Vista / 7, Linux - 32 & 64 Bit The easy setup helps you to get a WiFi connection to an available WiFI networks within seconds. It will be easily connected to your PC / Notebook / Netbook by USB. The ALFA AWUS036NHA has an external antenna connector (RP-SMA) with a detachable 5dBi WiFi Antenna which can be simply replaced by a WiFi antenna of your choice.

Also by buildings or structures, such as Concrete resulting signal losses can be offset by the good TX and RX performance of AWUS036NHA Wi-Fi Adapter. The powerful Atheros AR9271 chipset allows long distance Wi-Fi connections and improves signal strength and quality due to its strong TX/RX performance.

This high gain ALFA Networks AWUS036NHA WiFi USB Adapter is designed for the 2.4 GHz WiFi standard (IEEE 802.11b/g/n) and supports datarates up to 150Mbps.
