Instructor: Welcome back,
and let's start with wireless hacking attack.
So you will notice
that I'm currently not on my Kali Linux machine.
I'm currently using my laptop because my laptop
has a wireless card that supports Monitor Mode.
And in this video I will show you real quick
how you can put your wireless card into Monitor Mode
and if it works, that means it supports the Monitor Mode.
If it doesn't work, well, that means your wireless card
doesn't support Monitor Mode.
However, in the Resources,
I will leave some of the wireless cards that are used
for wireless hacking and all of them support Monitor Mode.
So if you really want to perform this attack
you can check them out online,
and you can get yourself a wireless card.
Now, before I actually do anything,
I'm going to zoom all of this in
so we can see everything better.
And the first thing that you must do
is you must type the command ifconfig.
And since this is also Linux
all of the commands inside of the terminal
will work the same as we learned.
And now here we can see we got three different interfaces.
I got the eno1, the Loopback interface, and wlo1,
and this is my wireless card.
It is called wlo1, and for you
it might be called something different.
However, the process of putting it in Monitor Mode
is rather the same.
First thing that you want to do
is you want to type iwconfig to figure out
what is your wireless card.
Just to make sure, I typed iwconfig
and it told me that wlo1 is my wireless card.
It is connected to this ESSID,
and what ESSID means is just the name of the wireless
that it is currently connected to.
And here we can see the mode that they talked about.
You will notice that this wireless card is currently
in Managed Mode, and this is the regular mode that all
of the wireless cards are, once you try to connect
to a wireless access point.
To put it in the Monitor Mode, what you want to do
is you want to type ifconfig, then the name
of your wireless interface, which in my case is wlo1,
for you it might be different,
and you want to put it down.
How they do that?
Well simply just type, ifconfig wlo1 down.
You won't get any output.
However, the next command that you want to run
is iwconfig, wlo1, and then Mode Monitor.
You press Enter and the third and last command
is putting the ifconfig up.
So you just type, ifconfig, wlo1, and then up.
Now your card should be in Monitor Mode.
To double check it, you can type iwconfig.
And now you can see that wlo1 is in Monitor Mode.
This is how you can put your card inside
of the Monitor Mode.
And you will notice as soon as you do that,
sometimes you might get disconnected from the internet.
You will not be able to access the internet inside
of the Monitor Mode.
And sometimes this will by default go back
to the Managed Mode.
So if you type ifconfig or iwconfig once again,
you will notice that it went back to Managed Mode.
So sometimes you might want to perform this multiple times
until you actually get it in Monitor Mode.
However, this is how you put it.
And in the next video
let's get straight into getting our hashed password
from our target wireless access point.
See you there.
