Wifiphisher: Invalid Interface

[brandontict]

Version:
1.4 00e937be6373baedaec45549e20fa34c2320e8aa

Description:

Using wlan1 (AWUS036ACH) as EXTENSIONSINTERFACE , built in wlan0 (Centrino Advanced-N 6235) as the APINTERFACE and receiving this error.

I have tried putting card into monitor mode manually and with airmon-ng .I've also tried to switch the card order around with same results. * Should I use the stronger adapter as the AP instead of EXTENSION ? Both cards support monitor mode.

wifiphiser output

./wifiphisher -eI wlan1 -aI wlan0 -dE -kB [*] Starting Wifiphisher 1.4GIT ( https://wifiphisher.org ) at 2018-08-25 22:24 [!] The provided interface "wlan1" is invalid!Interface wlan1 doesn't support monitor mode

dmesg output

Not sure if dmesg is relevant, but error is happening during and after executing wifiphisher

By default, Wifiphisher will automatically pick the right interfaces for you. If you are receiving this error, I'm afraid none of your cards (or the drivers associated with these adapters) support monitor mode.

Thanks for the reply.

airmon-ng & kismet work on both cards in monitor mode .

Also packet injection on both cards. Tested via aireplay-ng .
aireplay-ng -9 wlan1 11:28:51 Trying broadcast probe requests... 11:28:52 Injection is working! 11:28:52 Found X APs
wifiphisher was working with both cards at first. I must of made a change , or an update to throw something off.

I've been using kimcoder's AWUS036ACH drivers https://github.com/kimocoder/rtl8812au . Which seem to be best out right now, unless anyone can point me to another set of drivers to try? Drivers in the Kali repo hardly worked.

Does wifiphisher use airmon-ng to put the card into monitor mode?

Racking my brain on what change may have happen to throw this error.

rtl8812au is supported by aircrack suite .

[kimocoder]

which branch of my drivers are you using?
we made support into airmon-ng in latest git, but it got a bug over there it seems, so you propably wan't to set it in monitor mode manually until it's fixed. using airmon-ng seems to break injection for some reason

And btw.. the drivers in Kali repo is also my drivers.. my repo is the experimental/develop one used before I push it to https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au as you may ser in the commits over there

[brandontict]

v5.15 .
To be honest, I did not even look at the branches until you asked! ....

I Should I be using 5.3.4 then?

[kimocoder]

v5.2.20 (actually v5.2.20.2) is the latest "stable"
v5.3.4 is experimental atm, but you may try it anyway, it works and it's a better base, more fixes but also is under active develop til.

Great, That's what I will do.
I set into monitor mode, as your readme .

I think I have multiple drivers,

under /lib/modules/4.17.0-kali3-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/realtek
I have 3 folders,
rtl818x rtl8xxxu rtlwifi

lsmod output

lsmod | grep -i 88
88XXau               2363392  0
8812au               1622016  0
cfg80211              774144  5 iwldvm,8812au,iwlwifi,mac80211,88XXau

I tried to remove the old driver by,

make uninstall
sudo ./dkms-remove.sh
then rm -r /usr/src/rtl8812*

Installed latest branch

make && make install finished with no issues, then running DKMS script I receive,

DKMS: build completed.

88XXau.ko:
Running module version sanity check.
Error! Module version v5.2.20.2_28373.20180619 for 88XXau.ko
is not newer than what is already found in kernel 4.17.0-kali3-amd64 (v5.3.4_28226.20180614_COEX20171103-6c6d).
You may override by specifying --force.

So I figured I must be on 5.3.4 6/14/2018 .

I really appreciate the work you are doing with the rtl8812 chip set ,
As well as every one who made wifiphisher happen, Much gratitude all around
