Great! Now we can put the adapter into Monitor mode. If you like to run in full screen mode, as I do, this menu is at the bootom of the VirtualBox screen:Īs shown in both methods, make sure the wireless USB adapter is selected. This is done in VirtualBox from the Device Menu once the system is up and running: It's a bit strange but, even though you assigned the USB Wireless adapter in the settings above, you still need to "turn it on".
Then in Virtual Box, I add the USB Wireless adapter (think of it as assigning the adapter) to the Kali VM.įirst we need to change the settings of the VM: Third, with the Kali Linux VM shut down, I plug my USB wireless adapter into my computer's USB. Second you need a VM set up - in my case I have Kali Linux set up in Virtual Box. The one I am using is the Alpha Networks 802.11 b/g/n adapter AWUS036NHA which you can easily get from Amazon. Now, there are many, but you have to ensure that the adapter allows you to put it in monitor mode. This article explains how I do it.įirst, you need the proper type of adapter. The article also suggested there was a way forward if you use an external USB Wi-Fi adapter that supports monitor mode. But if you need to sniff Wi-Fi L1 and L2 for radio performance data and power levels and such, this is a problem. If you are looking at 元 and up, this is a non issue. We pointed out that one option to overcome this challenge is to run Linux as a virtual machine, but that the VM cannot access the Wi-Fi interface directly as all the virtualization technologies bridge the NIC so they are seen as wired connections. In our article on putting your WLAN Wi-Fi interface into Monitor Mode so you can sniff Wi-Fi packets and troubleshoot WLAN's, we said that if you are running Windows, you are in trouble.
