‫Instructor: In this lecture,
‫I'm going to show you how to find a USB Wi-Fi card
‫if you want to purchase it
‫and practice what we are about to learn in this section.
‫And again, as I said before,
‫you don't have to buy that only for this section.
‫If you're looking forward to be a cybersecurity specialist
‫or mobile application ethical hacker,
‫then of course you are more than welcome to buy it.
‫But if you just don't want to practice Wi-Fi network attacks
‫then don't worry about it.
‫Just take some notes while you listen to this section, okay.
‫So why are we buying this stuff?
‫Why are we getting a USB Wi-Fi card?
‫Because we're using Kali Linux as a virtual machine,
‫and as I explained before,
‫we have to connect directly to the router
‫and get a local IP from the router itself,
‫rather than getting the internet from our host machine.
‫So we shouldn't use NAT network.
‫In this case, we should use a USB Wi-Fi card
‫in order to connect to the router itself.
‫Of course, if you were using Kali Linux
‫as a main operating system in your host machine,
‫then you can use your own Wi-Fi, built-in Wi-Fi card,
‫like yeah, the Wi-Fi card of your own computer
‫in order to connect to the internet,
‫if, and only if, it supports the Kali Linux
‫and if it's supports the monitor mode and packet injection.
‫And we're going to see what are those
‫and how we can find a compatible Wi-Fi card with Kali Linux.
‫For example, this is the one that I'm using
‫in my own daily life, like in a Wi-Fi penetration test.
‫And this is another one
‫in order to use with Kali Linux as well.
‫This is compatible as well.
‫As you can see, there is a price variation over here,
‫like this is for $5, while the other one is maybe 20, $30,
‫depending on your country and depending why,
‫where you are getting it from.
‫And in order to find the other alternatives
‫you have to search for Kali Linux USB Wi-Fi card,
‫and add chipset keyword at the end.
‫So the defining thing that is for Kali Linux compatibility
‫is the chipset itself.
‫So all the Wi-Fi cards have some chipsets built-in,
‫and these are either Atheros, or Ralink, or Realtek, okay.
‫So these are not brands,
‫but the brands of the chipsets they're using, okay.
‫So in order to find the chipsets
‫that are compatible with Kali Linux,
‫you should have a look at this guide
‫or any other tutorial you may find on Google,
‫and you can find the available brands in your country
‫by searching the eBay or Amazon,
‫or any other popular services in your own country
‫and search for the brands that you see over here.
‫For example, if you come to this tutorial,
‫you can find at least five different brands,
‫five different chipsets that supports Kali Linux,
‫and you can just find one that is compatible
‫with Kali Linux and just get it, okay.
‫And again, if you want to get it.
‫If you don't wanna get it,
‫just you may actually skip this lecture as well, okay?
‫And you can find, or you can buy,
‫the things that I have shown you as well,
‫like the AWUS036NH,
‫it works pretty good.
‫And I have seen students buying other alternatives as well,
‫so they work pretty good as well.
‫Just make sure that it is compatible with Kali Linux
‫before you buy it.
‫So if it's not a compatible chipset, then it won't work.
‫It won't get even recognized by Kali Linux most of the time,
‫so you won't be able to use it,
‫so it will be like a money in the trash, okay.
‫So make sure you read the tutorial,
‫make sure you investigate the thing
‫that you're considering to buy, and then buy it.
‫So if you come over here, like scroll down a little bit,
‫you can see the chipsets like Atheros, Ralink, Realtek.
‫So there are a lot of Atheros, a lot of Ralink,
‫and a lot of Realtek chipsets.
‫And these are the specific ones
‫that you should consider buying,
‫like maybe RT307 works but RT3075 doesn't work.
‫So make sure you find the chipset,
‫and make sure when you search a USB Wi-Fi card
‫in your own eCommerce site,
‫and just try to find the chipset that it uses,
‫and then try to find and buy it after you are certain.
‫And after buying it, of course,
‫you would have to know how to connect it,
‫and how to define it in your virtual box,
‫and then how to connect it to your Kali Linux,
‫and then how to connect to the internet
‫using that USB Wi-Fi card.
‫Don't worry about that.
‫I'm going to show that as well within the next lecture.
‫So we are gonna stop here and meet me in the new lecture.
