Hello Everyone,

i want to purchase ALFA AWUS051NH.

is this compatible for kali and backtrack RC3.(with injection) ?

i have already used ALFA AWUS036NHA for both kali and backtrack rc3. its works good with perfect injecting.

can any one use this AWUS051NH to backtrack rc3 or kali.?


Thanks

@pedropt

yes its useful info. but i thing its not relevant to this topic.

anyway thanks.

what about this alfa awus036ac (ac1200)?

http://www.amazon.com/Alfa-Long-Range-Dual-Band-Removable-Connections/dp/B00MX57AO4

its usb3.0 and 802.11 ac supported. this is first usb network adapter supported for latest 802.11 ac.

i hope someone used this card and help me to clarify

anyone use this card under linux? is this support injection?


advance thanks..

I think it may work under BackTrack 5 r3. I used this at some point, but can't remember what kernel it had. According to WikiDevi, the rt2800usb driver supports this card since Linux v2.6.31 (2009-09-09).

I've this card. If you're interested for its 5GHz support, it doesn't support properly 802.11n over the 5GHz band. It can capture mgt frames, it can capture some data frames (subtype qos-data, the frames that contain the WPA handshake), but the injection doesn't work and you can't capture the actual data traffic. I think it is a driver issue. It is still in development. With older drivers, you couldn't even capture the WPA handshake. For the moment, it is useful only if you target 802.11a networks, or 802.11bgn networks over 2.4GHz.

As for AWUS036AC, I've a compatible model, Netis WF2190. They've the same specs. There's no driver support in Linux for RTL8812AU. The only thing that works is the vendor driver, but it doesn't support monitor mode. For some reason, Realtek insist on writing their own GPL driver instead of contributing a proper mac80211 driver to the kernel.

ok. thanks for ur good reply. and some of hackers used the AWUS051NH so that i asked about that.

i thought it will work will at 5ghz like 2.4ghz. anyhow thanks for ur reply.

and can u pls suggest me to buy good usb wireless adapter like below i mentioned

1) 2.4 and 5ghz (a/b/g/n/ac) with injection support under Linux.

2) my first prefer atheros chipset 2nd Ralink or any other.

3) with detachable antenna


## sorry for my bad english.


Thanks in advance.

1) 2.4 and 5ghz (a/b/g/n/ac) with injection support under Linux.

I'd like to find that as well, but currently there's no properly supported hardware with 802.11ac chipset that can do packet injection. I guess RTL8812AU has a good chance of being adopted (together with it's RTL8811AU variation). It is implemented by a lot of vendors, but you have to wait until there's a mac80211 driver for it.

So far, Qualcomm Atheros has no chipset for USB adapters that supports 802.11ac and the ath10k driver for their PCI* products doesn't support packet injection, yet. There are some chips from MediaTek (Ralink), but the list is fairly slim and none fit your description.

The lack of 5GHz support bothers me as well. I am going to try with a dual-band carl9170 card, but so far I haven't tested it as I have to buy an adapter with that chipset. It doesn't support 802.11ac, but it's a good chance of being properly supported for 5GHz 802.11n as the chipset is fairly old. I'm going to get an AirLive X.USB-3. It's still a bet though.

[dilipkumarstar]

mmm Thanks for ur reply. its excellent.

so we will wait for 802.11 ac compatible usb adapter. uh do u know how long days its need to take?.

because 802.11 ac much faster than 802.11 n. y its take so much days to get ready for proper drivers? is this 802.11 ac little bit complicated huh?

is aircrack-ng developers get ready for this 802.11 ac.?

well did u used AirLive X.USB-3 before. is this better than alfa AWUS036NHA?

[SaltwaterC]

The 802.11ac support isn't something that aircrack-ng provides, but the kernel maintainers who take care of the wireless drivers. Unfortunately, for the moment the maintainer isn't interested in providing RTL8812AU / RTL8811AU support.

I just bought an AirLive X.USB-3. The carl9170 driver is a complete failure. The older driver, ar9170usb, which was dropped from kernel 3.0+, fully supports this card under 2.4 GHz (untested under 5GHz, but I'll do it ASAP). Unfortunately, getting this working under Debian 6 / kernel 2.6.32 meant for me a few hours of searching for information about how to build compat-wireless and patching the driver in order to pick the USB ID. The card is really good. With the 5dBi antennas from Netis WF2190 I'm getting really good reception.

I haven't tested AWUS036NHA, but I've two cards with the same chipset, AR9271. It works OK. It can't spoof the MAC with the fragmentation attack (driver issue). With macchanger or using the actual MAC is fine. The rest of the attacks work without issues.

Here's the list of all the hardware that I tested: http://saltwaterc.github.io/aircrack-db/

Update: the 5GHz support is the same as AWUS051NH with the latest backports drivers. I doesn't dump 802.11n traffic on 5GHz. Well, with the notable exception that building ar9170 is a pain in the ass and it requires and old kernel + driver. I was unable to build it under recent kernels as the build system simply ignores the driver and I haven't found a solution. The classic "build out of tree" instructions won't work.

[dilipkumarstar]

thanks again.

first i wish you to success for your recent build process.

so i hope kernel maintainers will understanding the 802.11 ac concept quickly.

y so much wireless adapter failed under 5GHz..

i saw your link. u have tested lots of wireless adapter. r u network admin?

I was just about to order the Alfa AWUS051NH v2 ( Ralink RT3572 ) http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Alfa-AWUS051NH-v2-Dual-Band-802-11a-b-g-n-WiFi-Wireless-USB-Adapter-2-4-5-GHz-/130869408263?pt=US_USB_Wi_Fi_Adapters_Dongles&hash=item1e786cb207. I searched alot over the internet to see if this card is supported or not with aircrack-ng suite and then I came across this thread so did anyone tested this wifi adaptor to confirm if it's fully supported with aircrack-ng suit at least for the 2.4ghz for now and if so will it work on the latest kali linux on vmware.

thanks

[SaltwaterC]

According to this page, RT3572 is supported by the rt2800usb driver. You need to build the backports under Kali for a recent driver. Haven't tested it though.

aircrack-ng support = proper driver support
