Airmon-ng stop
To disable monitor mode,
we use the stop option,
followed by the monitor mode interface name.
Note that the interface name is our monitor mode interface
and not the original wireless interface.
To start monitor mode on a specific channel,
we add the channel number to our previous command.
We only need to set the channel when the tool we use after Airmon-ng
doesn't have the ability to set the channel itself.
Airmon-ng shows monitor mode has been enabled.
However, it doesn’t show the channel has been set.
Running iw shows that the monitor mode interface
is listening on the desired channel and frequency.
Alternatively, we can also use the iwconfig command,
but since it is deprecated, its output may be unreliable.
