Monitor mode not working with TP-LINK TL-WN722N (version 2) on 4.13.0-kali

Open buffermet opened this issue 7 years ago • 36 comments 

$ uname -a
Linux Hostname 4.13.0-kali1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.13.4-2kali1 (2017-10-16) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Problem:

$ ifconfig wlan1 down
$ iwconfig wlan1 mode Monitor
$ ifconfig wlan1 up
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
    SET failed on device wlan1 ; Invalid argument.

Monitor mode doesn't work. It is not possible to spoof MAC either.

Please give output of ifconfig and iwconfig

@abhijeet2096 thanks for your reply

I managed to set the interface into several modes, these were the iwconfigs:

The only thing that seems to be working is accessing the internet.

buffermet avatar Nov 06 '17 03:11 buffermet

Hey, When i tried for mode MONITOR my system started freezing also in that mode it only shows monitor but it doesn't work. so for monitor mode to work you have to set it in AUTO using Instruction in Readme.

after then you can write

  1. airmon-ng start
  2. airodump-ng

then you will see various networks around you.

abhijeet2096 avatar Nov 06 '17 04:11 abhijeet2096

The instructions don't seem complete. I'll submit a PR now.

Mode:Auto works fine, but Monitor mode doesn't.

Are you able to set your interface to Master mode?

My output:

I can already see networks around me with the device, my problem is that I can't use my interface to host an AP for example.

That will be good !

abhijeet2096 avatar Nov 06 '17 05:11 abhijeet2096

@abhijeet2096 Are you able to set your interface to Master mode?

buffermet avatar Nov 06 '17 05:11 buffermet

yes @yungtravla i was able to set MASTER mode but i can't confirm its functionality.

Thanks @abhijeet2096

What about mac spoofing, does that work for you?

buffermet avatar Nov 06 '17 07:11 buffermet

No i wasn't able to to change mac address i used macchanger v 1.7.0

abhijeet2096 avatar Nov 06 '17 07:11 abhijeet2096

So we can conclude that there are still no drivers that fully support this wifi adapter?

buffermet avatar Nov 06 '17 08:11 buffermet

Yes we can conclude that :(

abhijeet2096 avatar Nov 06 '17 16:11 abhijeet2096

Anyone going to try to add more features to this?

chaoticryptidz avatar Nov 15 '17 10:11 chaoticryptidz

I currently use the TL-WN722N(V2.1) under Arch Linux x86_64 as well as ARM 32-bit. Monitor mode works for this chip under the current version of Kali 4.13 as well.

#Load modules as root
rmmod r8188eu
rmmod 8188eu
modprobe lib80211
modprobe cfg80211
insmod ./8188eu.ko

#Set monitor mode as root
ifconfig wlan0 down
iwconfig wlan0 mode Monitor

I believe that module loading may not be correctly implemented in the Makefile installers supplied by Ralink.

Dogcatfee avatar Dec 07 '17 09:12 Dogcatfee

Show the output of iwconfig with v2

mohith7548 avatar Dec 18 '17 17:12 mohith7548

AFAIK my research says that is a driver problem, it can't set PHY address and the lsusb doent give vendor name only the codes, I'm with the same problem.

krusherpt avatar Dec 27 '17 16:12 krusherpt

@Dogcatfee - your solution worked for me on my TL-WN722N v2.1

nullpeter avatar Dec 30 '17 23:12 nullpeter

@Dogcatfee - I tried your solution but I got this error:

$ sudo iwconfig wlp0s20f0u1u1 mode Monitor                                                                                                                                                                                                               
    Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
    SET failed on device wlp0s20f0u1u1 ; Operation not permitted.

Instead of failing due to an invalid argument error its now explicitly telling me that I'm not allowed to set that mode.

Hello sir, does it support monitor mode in Kali Linux 4.14

ParanoiaSamurai avatar Apr 28 '18 16:04 ParanoiaSamurai

@Dogcatfee i tired your soluction and this is the output i receive! ive seen it before and cant seem to insmod this without this exact same error every time! insmod: ERROR: could not insert module 8188eu.ko: Unknown symbol in module

Hi I am using parrot os it's not supporting TL-WN722N V2

zonefame-onelove avatar Jun 13 '18 00:06 zonefame-onelove

if you have enough time, you an install this driver in my parrotsec os by using my team viewer. and active monitor mode. I hope you understand. And you should have enough time to make install this driver in my laptop & enable monitor mode. just give me your gmail or knockk me in my gmail ([email protected])

Ruflead avatar Jun 14 '18 11:06 Ruflead

Hi Team,

Could you please help.to enable monitor mode in parrot os using TL-WN722N Verizon 2.. I was tried so many time .

Thanks and Regards, Onelove

It would be better if we manage to find/create a driver/makefile that works for everyone.

Hi Team, I had tried make command .it's throws the error.
