Error When Turning Monitor Mode On Using Raspberry pi 3B+ On Alfa AWUS036NHA
While trying to set up a static ip address on my Raspberry Pi 3B+, I found a terminal tool called wicd-curses that lets you set up static ip addresses specific to each wifi or ethernet access point (Suits my purpose, can move RPi to school, on the train, on the bus, home, everywhere without a monitor).
Therefore I take note of the static ip address and use it to connect to the RPi via SSH. However, the problem is whenever I tried to change my Alfa exterior antenna’s (AWUS036NHA) mode to monitor using airmon-ng tool, the command line would freeze and I would need to reboot the RPi to be able to connect again over SSH.
airmon-ng start wlan1
This would freeze the command line and I would have to disconnect and reconnect the Raspberry Pi from and to the power source.
I solved this by using the another method for putting the antenna into monitor mode, using
iconfig wlan1 down
iwconfig wlan1 mode monitor
ifconfig wlan1 up
Where wlan1 represents my Alfa AWUS036NHA external wifi adaptor that supports monitor mode.
However, the same problem (terminal frozen) occurs when I try to use a tool called airodump-ng (a tool for capturing packets).
airodump-ng wlan1
The command line freezes and I have to reboot the RPi to be able to use it.
Here’s some info:
RPi 3B+ 32 Gb MicroSD card with RPi 3B Kali upgraded and updated
My OS on my pc is kubuntu 18.04 LTS
Now I don’t know if this is because I used wicd-curses (it’s a bit outdated and wobbly).
