Configuration error

[kpiyushkumar]

After running the debug program, I get

Configuration error: Exception('Monitor mode is not enabled for interface mon0 or interface does not exist',)

To setup the wifi adapter, I referred to this link after which I ran the following command: iw phy phy0 interface add mon0 type monitor

My current network arrangement is

iw dev

phy#0 Interface mon0 ifindex 6 wdev 0x3 addr 20:e8:16:00:e2:d5 type monitor txpower 20.00 dBm Interface wlan1 ifindex 4 wdev 0x1 addr 20:e8:16:00:e2:d5 type managed txpower 20.00 dBm

phy#1 Unnamed/non-netdev interface wdev 0x100000002 addr ba:27:eb:3f:78:b9 type P2P-device txpower 31.00 dBm Interface wlan0 ifindex 3 wdev 0x100000001 addr b8:27:eb:3f:78:b9 ssid Wifi type managed channel 6 (2437 MHz), width: 20 MHz, center1: 2437 MHz txpower 31.00 dBm

The wifi adapter I'm using is mt7601u which has monitor mode according to this.

Hi kpiyushkumar, Can you cat these two files from your system please?

/sys/class/net/mon0/type
/sys/class/net/mon0/operstate

Also do you have mon0 in /etc/rpi-security.conf?

[kpiyushkumar]

cat /sys/class/net/mon0/type gives me "803"

cat /sys/class/net/mon0/operstate gives me "down"

Yes I do have mon0 in /etc/rpi-security.conf

FYI I'm using Raspberry Pi 3B which has built in WiFi.

[FutureSharks]

The interface is down, that's the problem. Can you run ifconfig mon0 up?

[kpiyushkumar]

Apologies for the late reply. After running the above command, the operstate turned to "unknown". When I ran the program in debug mode, I got the following error message

2018-03-05 23:12:24 CRITICAL exit_clean.py:22 MainThread Configuration error: KeyError(2,)

I'm too getting the same error as kpiyushkumar got pls help

[FutureSharks]

@1997mohan can you also cat these two files from your system please?

/sys/class/net/mon0/type
/sys/class/net/mon0/operstate

Also, what model of wifi adapter are you using?

[1997mohan]

First command executes unknown Second command executes 803

[1997mohan]

RT 5370 WiFi adapter

[1997mohan]

I am using raspberry pi 3 model B which has inbuilt WiFi module but it doesn't support monitor mode so I bought RT 5370 WiFi adapter and I followed this link https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruits-raspberry-pi-lesson-3-network-setup/setting-up-wifi-with-occidentalis and I made ifconfig mon0 up and as u said I cat those commands which results in type as 803 and operstate as unknown

[FutureSharks]

OK cool.

803 and unknown are fine.

Can you try this?

import logging
import rpisec

rpis = rpisec.RpisSecurity('/etc/rpi-security.conf', '/var/lib/rpi-security/data.yaml')
camera = rpisec.RpisCamera(rpis.photo_size, rpis.gif_size, rpis.motion_size,
            rpis.camera_vflip, rpis.camera_hflip, rpis.motion_detection_setting,
            rpis.camera_capture_length, rpis.camera_mode)

And paste me the error?

Hi @1997mohan

2 things.

First, you can't start it like /usr/local/bin/rpi-security.py -d without first adding the mon0 interface manually. So try like this:

root@raspberrypi:~# iw phy phy0 interface add mon0 type monitor
root@raspberrypi:~# ifconfig mon0 up
root@raspberrypi:~# rpi-security.py -d

Second, it looks like in your second example you are using a virtualenv called cv? Also you are not running it as root.

[1997mohan]

superb man, now all threads are working fine but it fails to send the photo and gif. i think the resolution u have given is too high i'm using raspberry pi noir camera v 2.1. is there any possibilities to reduce the resolution or what is the problem arising can u explain?

[FutureSharks]

Cool.

Yes, the resolution can be too high and it can also crash the RPI when it runs out of memory. Try changing the values here: https://github.com/FutureSharks/rpi-security/blob/master/etc/rpi-security.conf#L33-L40

[FutureSharks]

Hey, I updated the readme with some missing packages: https://github.com/FutureSharks/rpi-security/commit/506738fcdd23585b3663a28404bd2a8235bb050d

Could you retest?
