Aircrack 0.9.1 or 1.0 Dev for Alfa AWUS036H (drivers already patched)

It looks like your USB ports on your laptop aren't working.

Picture 1 See the Blue USB symbol, that must be showing. This means 2 things.
1) You've added a usb controller to your vmware machine,
2) If it blinks green The VMware machine is talking to the usb device.

If it's not there. Then check windows hasn't stolen control. You can force vmware to take the usb device back by following picture 2.

Seeing as it's also not working when you boot from the cd, it looks there's something wrong with the usb port itself.

Thanks for the tip, my USB device list comes up empty, even when its plugged in

windows can see it just fine though and I can connect to a network with it, etc.

If I go into the hardware settings for the virtual machine it doesnt have USB listed either

Edit: Ah nevermind, I'm a retard, have to stop the machine before I can add USB devices to the list... let me try it again.

I usually just boot the Live CD so this isn't the problem but maybe I can force it with VMWare to work

You need to add a USB adapter to the VM.

Just edit the VM settings adding a USB adapter and restart the VM

I have a problem with the update patches.
After booting my alfacd with the updates, I cannot authenticate with my AP when using aireplay-ng.
I also have problems just connecting to my AP when without the update this all works fine.
Should I skip the patch update for alfa and just only update aircrack-ng?
I wonder if similar problems occured with other people and how they find a solution.
I just put the lzm in the folder as explained, nothing more and just burned the iso...

[SonyUSA]

AHA!!!! Pilot you saved my life, its working with VMWare now!!!

Any reason this wouldn't work when booting directly from the LiveCD? Maybe special USB drivers in windows or something?

Thanks again You too Parrot

Short update on my problems:

WITHOUT update patches:
- Can authenticate with my AP using aireplay-ng.
- Can NOT inject with aircrack-ng because old version 0.7x.

WITH update patches:
- Can NOT authenticate with my AP using aireplay-ng.
It just tries 5-6 times then just give the usual message that im not close enough to my AP (which im sitting next to) and also i tried changing the number of packets (-o switch), but nothing worked.
Also the --deauth wont work.
- Started injection without authenticating, that works, but hangs after 5000 packets, it says will try next, but it just hangs.

Also funny thing is that it assigns ipv6 address to alfa - have to dhcpcd to get normal ip.

So without the updates, cant inject because no update patch for both alfa and aircrack, but can authenticate.
With the updates, cannot authenticate.

Please, im getting frustrated about this problem - would like to find solution.

Thanks all !

I have just doubled checked that my newest modules do work on my system. Perfectly.

Can I ask are you in a VMWARE machine, or have you installed to HD or are you running from boot cd?

[PLATER]

I just took bt2.iso - put the lzms in the module folder and ran from livecd.
the funny thing is the ipv6 assignment, but i just boot without dhcp and assign ip manually.
strange thing is that the authenticate with my AP doesnt work.
I am now trying with 1-dev - will post later results.
if in meantime you might know what could be wrong, please post !
it's giving me a headach this problem

Ok make sure you do this.

In this order.

Don't skip or modify anything thinking it won't matter. (!)

1) Run the boot cd (make sure alfa is UNPLUGGED)
2) Login
3) Open terminal window
4) Change to the rt8187xxxxxxxxxxxx directory
5) run: sh wlan0up
6) Plug in the alfa
7) Wait 20secs
8) Run: sh wlan0up
9) Start the device with: airmon-ng start wlan0
10) try to athenticate with: aireplay-ng

Don't skip or modify anything thinking it won't matter. (!)

1) Run the boot cd (make sure alfa is UNPLUGGED)
done - no problems
2) Login
done - no problems
3) Open terminal window
4) Change to the rt8187xxxxxxxxxxxx directory
called rtl8187_linux_26.1010.0622.2006
5) run: sh wlan0up
wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: no such device
Had to plugin the alfa before running this command
After plugin alfa and run this command:
insmod: error inserting 'ieee80211_crypt-rtl.ko': -1 File exists
insmod: error inserting 'ieee80211_crypt-web-rtl.ko': -1 File exists
insmod: error inserting 'ieee80211_crypt-tkip-rtl.ko': -1 File exists
insmod: error inserting 'ieee80211_crypt-ccmp-rtl.ko': -1 File exist
insmod: error inserting 'ieee80211-rtl.ko': -1 File exist
insmod: error inserting 'r8187.ko': -1 File exist


But after this the wlan0 device is up and i skip step 6-8
6) Plug in the alfa
7) Wait 20secs
8) Run: sh wlan0up
9) Start the device with: airmon-ng start wlan0
wlan0 RTL8187 r8187 (monitor mode enabled)
10) try to athenticate with: aireplay-ng
aireplay-ng -9 wlan0
Trying broadcast probe requests...
No Answer...
Found 1 AP
...
Injection is working!

aireplay-ng -1 0 -a <mac AP> -h <mac wlan0> wlan0

Association successful :-)

Thanks for advice though have no idea yet why it worked now, but it works :-)
