Re: putting my wireless addapter into monitor mode

i think u need to have aircrack suite.

sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng

then after that, to put into monitor mode:

sudo airmon-ng start wlan0

note that 'wlan0' can be others like 'ath0' n so on depending on wot u hav ( u mite want to check wit 'iwconfig')

I only know of this method. There mite be others also, but i dunno of any other.

For details about aircrack check www.aircrack-ng.org

Cheers!!
