Wifi Packet Injection #5

Closed keerthan44 closed 3 years ago

keerthan44 commented 3 years ago

Does it support wifi packet injection?

morrownr commented 3 years ago

Unknown. I haven't tested that capability but am willing to do so if you provide me with an outline of how to test the capability. A link to an article that shows how to set up and test the capability would work.

I had time this afternoon to read the article you posted. That is a somewhat dated article but I gave it a try. Here is what I found: The aircrack-ng (airmon-ng) package in the Ubuntu 20.04 repos is very dated and caused nothing but problems. That is to be expected with the networking subsystem in Linux over the last few years. I went to the Aircrack-ng site and it appears a lot of work has been done but it seems downloading and compiling the source is the only option and the required dev setup would require me to put in a lot of work to modify things here. If you can find a current version available as a .deb, let me know where it is and I will try to set aside some time to continue testing.

This is version 1.6: https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/aircrack-ng Is that what you installed?

morrownr commented 3 years ago

I just checked on my Mint 20 test box and Aircrack-ng is indeed v1.6. My bad. In previous testing, the old version was what was available and when I ran into the same problems, I assumed it was the old version. My bad. Let me take another look at I have time. Have you tested?

keerthan44 commented 3 years ago

I am currently in a situation where i cannot test and i am relying on your test for my use.

morrownr commented 3 years ago

I understand. I'll take a closer look once I have taken care of some priority issues.

keerthan44 commented 3 years ago

Have you tested?

morrownr commented 3 years ago

I had time today to address the issue of packet injection. I need testers to tell me if it is working.

morrownr commented 3 years ago

I was able to test Packet Injection today by using the new instructions in the README. Result:

"Injection is working!"

I have no experience pen testing so I could really use some experienced pen testers to see what they think.

keerthan44 commented 3 years ago

Thanks @morrownr. I think it means it is working.

keerthan44 commented 3 years ago

Can you show the output below " Injection is Working"? Does it show a value more than 0?

morrownr commented 3 years ago

To provide your answer I used the Packet Injection documentation in the README and during the process I discovered that the documentation was misleading. I have now reworked the documentation. Here is the output of my test:

15:38:31 ... $ sudo aireplay-ng --test wlan0 15:38:31 Trying broadcast probe requests... 15:38:31 Injection is working! 15:38:32 Found 1 AP

15:38:32 Trying directed probe requests... 15:38:32 8C:59:73:FE:8B:F5 - channel: 36 - 'myAPname' 15:38:32 Ping (min/avg/max): 0.826ms/4.058ms/6.667ms Power: -35.77 15:38:32 30/30: 100%

Thanks a lot @morrownr.
