Title: airodump-ng not getting enough data nor stations
Post by: Skaw on October 09, 2021, 12:43:04 pm

Hi, I'm pretty newbie with aircrack (That's why I am this section :) ) and I'm getting a few problems when using airodump-ng to scan stuff.

Before anything, I'm using Kali Linux with an AWUS036NHA USB adapter.

What I do, is:

Code: [Select]

airmon-ng check kill
airmon-ng start wlan1 (from now on, wlan1mon)
airodump-ng wlan1mon

Now, I get a lot of devices, but I get almost no data from them. Still, I'm going to scan my router MAC Address:

Code: [Select]

airodump-ng wlan1mon -d 00:11:22:33:44:55 -c 1

Not only I don't find any station (I have a PC and a phone connected to that router), but I get almost no data on the #Data column. Just a few units. About 10 in 5 minutes.

I check that every data I use (BSSID, Channel, etc) is correct, that I have both devices connected to the route and I am browsing internet to use it.
Despite that, nothing. Almost no data, and noy a single Station connected.

What could be the issue?

The main possiblitity is that you're too far from the device.

Another thing: if your card is 802.11n and the connection to the APs are in 802.11ac, it will likely not see them. Same goes if MIMO is in use, and your card doesn't have the same amount of streams as used by the connection. Beamforming could be another reason, as the beam is directed toward a certain direction.
