I'm running a virtual Kali machine on VirtualBox and want to connect my USB WiFi adapter to said VM.
Here are some details:
Host OS: Windows 8.1
Guest OS: Kali Linux 1.1.0a (amd64)
USB Adapter: TP-Link TL-WN725N
The adapter works perfectly during normal use in the VM and the iwconfig is as follows:
eth0 no wireless extensions.
wlan0 unassociated Nickname:"<WIFI@REALTEK>"
Mode:Managed Frequency=2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Sensitivity:0/0
Retry:off RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
lo no wireless extensions.
However, the device fails to show up in airmon-ng:
Interface Chipset Driver
And running airmon-ng start wlan0 returns: (killing the processes didn't do any good)
Found 3 processes that could cause trouble.
If airodump-ng, aireplay-ng or airtun-ng stops working after a short per
iod of time, you may want to kill (some of) them!
-e
PID Name
2188 dhclient
2275 NetworkManager
2809 wpa_supplicant
Interface Chipset Driver
And airodump-ng returns:
nl80211 not found
Am I doing something wrong? Or does the adapter simply not support monitor mode? Or do I need some drivers to get this working?
im not very skilled about that but i think you should set your wireless device as monitor mode? – Francisco Tapia – 2015-08-28T19:47:14.990
@FranciscoTapia I tried that and have edited question accordingly.. – Vishnuvardhan Kumar – 2015-08-28T19:59:53.117
Can you please try
iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
? What's the output? – Aulis Ronkainen – 2019-03-29T14:43:18.183
