WiFite With 2 WiFi Antenna causing issues - HELP! #112

Open ghost opened 7 years ago

ghost commented 7 years ago

I have a nice ALFA high gain external wifi I connect for packet injection purposes. However, if I try to run wifite it asks me to choose which wifi card by choosing a number. I choose a number for the ALFA and it loops back to the same question again. It will do this over and over stuck in a looop until I remove the ALFA antenna. Do I need to deactivate the internal wifi to use wifite? I prefer not to as I at times need both running for my use. (i.e. evil twin or MTM)

If I drop the ALFA it works fine. I am using Parrot Security all updates run.

what Alfa adapter you got? I got several myself and I think I know the problem you got and may have a solution :)

Some Alfa's are not supported by aircrack-ng, so setting monitor mode fails because of airmon-ng support (virtual interface issue), but this can be resolved by setting monitor mode manually with:

  1. Plug your adapter
  2. Find your adapter with "iwconfig"

Then..

airmon-ng check kill ifconfig down iwconfig mode monitor ifconfig up

Report back (",)

Thanks for the quick reply Christian. Well, let me elaborate a bit first. If I disallow or turn off the internal wifi, the external will work fine and visa-versa. It seems to be having an issue when I have two running at same time. And of course, as you now, this is a problem as there are times I need both working together. ANy help or suggestions you have are greatly appreciated, thanks again. =)

Kind Regards, RJ

802.11b/g Long-Range Model: AWUS036H ALFA USB

I have only the needed ALFA activated and wifite finds both wifi, asks me to choose 1-2, I choose the correct one (yes, I checked) and it asks me again stuck in a loop. So any suggestions or help offered is greatly appreciated. =)

Still hoping someone can help with this issue......

Anyone have a suggestion for this? I disengage the internal wifi card and wifit still finds it and refuses to work. It will not allow me to choose one. Just keeps looping back asking me to choose a wifi. Help? Anyone? Developers?

It sound like airmon-ng support for that device is missing 'virtual interface' support on the driver side, like many others.

In my howto I did write something wrong, but could you try:

airmon-ng check kill ifconfig down iwconfig mode monitor ifconfig up

Then run wifite.. Forgot the before "mode monitor"

I had the same problem. Try specifying the interface. python wifite.py -i wlan0"
