57 WiFi Hijacking change Wi Fi adapter to Monitor mode Part 2

Wireless modes Managed If you are within range of the network, there is a possibility that you will capture all the information that passes through wireless networks because they pass through the air, and even though they do not have our physical address in the destination address! In order to do this we will have to configure our wireless adapter to go through to monitor mode. If we run the command iwconfig (which shows the settings of the wireless adapter) We seem to be in managed mode. root@kali:~# iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. wlan0 unassociated ESSID:"" Nickname:"WIFI@REALTEK" Mode: Managed Managed mode is the default for wireless adapters, and it means that the wireless adapter will only receive packets destined for its physical address. But we are interested in receiving packets that are in our reception range! Monitor In order to change the situation, and receive packets that are not intended for our wireless adapter, we will switch to monitor mode, and for that we must disable the wireless adapter: root@kali:~# ifconfig wlan0 down root@kali:~# airmon-ng check kill Killing these processes: PID Name 2709 wpa_supplicant root@kali:~# iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor root@kali:~# ifconfig wlan0 up root@kali:~# iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"" Nickname:"WIFI@REALTEK" Mode:Monitor The airmon-ng check kill command will disable the internet connection through the wireless adapter, we don't need the internet, the attack will be more successful when we execute this command.
