Putting wireless card in monitor mode windows


















Alternatively, you can also do the same using the Wireshark network monitoring tool. Download Microsoft Network Monitor. However, the process is a bit tedious so we will go the GUI way. To do that, run the Wireless Diagnostics tool from the Spotlight search. Alternatively, you can click the Wi-fi icon in the toolbar while holding down the option key, and select Open Wireless Diagnostics from the drop-down menu. On the Sniffer window pop-up, you will see Channels and Channel Width option.

As of now, we will go with the default options. Click on the Start button for the Sniffer tool to start scanning. If the sniffer tool runs successfully, you will see your Wi-Fi down.

If you click on the Wi-Fi icon at the top-right corner, you will see that your Wi-Fi is in monitor mode. This means that your Wi-Fi supports monitor mode. To access the Internet, stop the Sniffer tool. You can view the file by using the following command. Foremost, we need to find the interface name of the Wi-Fi adapter. To do that, use the following command. This command will display all the network interfaces on your system. Once we have the interface name, we need to turn the Wi-Fi down.

Use the following command to do that. Now that we have the interface down, we can turn the Wi-Fi card to monitor mode. Ben Frequent Contributor Posts: In WireShark software there's promiscuous mode, which lets you monitor all packets on the currently connected wireless network rather than just those intended for your computer. But there's another mode also that some cards support, but others don't it seems and mine might not it seems , and this mode is called monitor mode.

In this mode, it a network card receives all wi-fi packets, not just those associated with the currently connected network and I don't even think that a network card can connect to a network the standard way when in monitor mode.

However, I don't think most cards support monitor mode at least not in Windows, but I heard that it's easier to do in Linux. Now here's what I'm not completely sure about, regarding monitor mode in Windows and yes, I've heard that it is possible.

I have NPCap installed equivalent to WinPCap, but for Windows 10 that doesn't support the WinPCap driver , and I know it supports promiscuous mode, but I don't know if it is capable of enabling monitor mode in wifi adapters that support monitor mode, or if I need to install a special hacked driver for that specific wifi adapter to replace its normal driver in order to enable monitor mode. And one more thing. Alaa Ali Alaa Ali Thanks for your reply.

The output for sudo airmon-ng start wlan0 is this: pastebin. Are you sure that was the command you did? Did you do sudo airmon-ng start wlan0mon? Please give us the complete output of sudo airmon-ng start wlan0; iwconfig.

Yeah pretty sure, here's the pastebin image of the output for the command you asked for: pastebin. The problem is with the name of the interface. Use the following commands: Start your wireless interface in monitoring mode airmon-ng Kill all the interfering processes airmon-ng check kill Instead of airodump-ng mon0 , type this airodump-ng wlan0mon Please let me know if this works for you.
