Checking if injector is working

Open akhila-s-rao opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

Hi, I interacted with you before about setting up this tool on AR9280 wifi NICs on an AP using openwrt. You told me that 90% the tool will not work on this wifi NIC, however since I already have them I wanted to confirm. I do not have a laptop that has a compatible wifi NIC, so I plan on using my 2 wifi APs in injector mode, with one running injector and the other doing recvCSI. I would like to begin by first checking if the injector is actually injecting packets. I tried to put my laptop (with Intel wifi NICs) in monitor mode and use tcpdump to sniff the channel on which the openwrt device should be sending using injector -i mon0 -c 6HT20 -d mac80211 -n 10000 I do not sniff anything on my laptop on the same channel. Is there any other way to ensure that injector is actually injecting packets ?

Also, why do the MAC addresses of all devices have to be the same ? Can I even set the MAC address of a mon0 interface ? It has a different long form looking MAC address.

Thanks as always.

Same problem, the injector doesn't work, and I run ''injector -i mon0 -c 6 -s 2 -n 10000 -d mac80211''. In addition, interface mon0 have different mac addr and I can't change it, this could be my main problem.
