такое решения есть, но из коробки работать будет если взять роутер от той же alfa например alfa r36, найти его можно на ebay/авито/aliexpress, но скорость он режет знатно
второе решение — взять роутер от alfa новее — например alfa aip w 525u, нр туда 036nha может не подойти
3 вариант — собирать прошивку под роутер (откоытую — openwrt / ddwrt ) с дровами alfa
если есть деньги можно взять для таких целей alfa 036ACH и AIP W525HU именно HU не U, как выше опечатался и там заявлена поддержка такой схемы
r36 кстати тоже вроде ищ коробки не работает с NHA, только с NH и H

Как взломать Wi-Fi? Какие Wifi-адаптеры актульны для Kali Linux

«Лучший» Wi-Fi адаптер для вардрайвинга
Как уже ноднократно говорили, не существует «лучшего» wi-fi адаптера для вардрайвинга. Бывают случаи, когда мы работаем в «бетонных джунглях» и нам нужно саиое мощное оборудование. А иногда нужно действовать незаметно и нам нужен самый маленький wi-fi свисток. Кто то живёт в районах где ещё уставлены wi-fi роутеры 2.4 Ггц, а до кого то уже добрался wi-fi 5.0 Ггц 801.11ac. Кто то готов потратить 5000 рублей на wi-fi адартер, а кто то ограничен суммой в 500-1000р.
Но есть правила, которым можно следовать при выборе wi-fi адаптера для вардрайвинга:
- Никогда не берём wi-fi адаптеры, на чипах MediaTek.
- Wi-fi адартер с внешней антеной, обычно более чувствительны.
- Чип wi-fi адаптера, в идиале, доджны уметь переходить в режи монитора, инжекта и ap(soft ap).
- Раскрученый бренд, это переплата за название.
- Alfa это всегда дорого, но обычно подходит всем.
Лично я, подбираю адаптер так:
- Смотрю что есть в наличи. (по пораметрам, антеана, ap(soft ap)).
- Смотрю что из этого, на каком чипе.
- Смотрю что умеет этот чтп в таблице: https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Wireless_adapters/Chipset_table Увы она редко обновляется.
Именно так я выбрал себе Totalink A2000ua 801.11ac/a/n/b/g +2 антенны 8 dbi который обощолся мне в 2000 руб и Orient XG-925n+ + антенна 8 dbi обощолся мне в 1000 руб.
В зависимости от выбранного чипсета могут быть нюансы. У чипсета Realtek проблемы (решаемые) при атаках на WPS.
В этой статье я собрал, большой список wi-fi адаптеров, которые поддерживают режим мониторинга и беспроводные инъекции. С любым из этих wi-fi адаптеров, вы сможите захватить handshake и провести большенство без проводных атак. Помнтет, что в некоторых атаках от wi-fi адаптера требуется режим AP(Soft AP).
Если вы купили двухдиапазонный (2.4GHz & 5.0GHz) адаптер на чипе Realtek RTL881xAU, вам нужно установить драйвер. В kali linux это делается так:
Отличие wi-fi адаптеров на чипах Realtek RTL8811au, RTL8812au и RTL8814au в количестве поддерживаемых антенн. Одна аетена на RTL8811au, две на RTL8812au и четыре на RTL8814au
Также некоторые устройства работают только в одном диапазоне по выбору, другие — в двух диапазонах одновременно. Это также нужно учитывать при покупке устройств.
Некоторые производители, например Alfa AWUS036ACH, Alfa AWUS1900, TRENDnet TEW-809UB, используют дополнительные чипы (например, усилители сигнала) и могут иметь другие приятные особенности.
Внутренние Wi-FI адаптеры для ноутбуков, подходящие для вардрайвинга.
В некоторых ноутбуках предустановлены беспроводные адаптеры, которые поддерживают режим монитора и беспроводные инъекции. Например, чипы Intel могут делать это. Причём они также поддерживают режим Точки Доступа и виртуальные интерфейсы. Видимо, дело в хорошей поддержки беспроводных драйверов Intel для Linux. Следовательно, они подходят для ежедневного использования в Linux, а также для беспроводных атак.
Небольшой список таких wi-fi адаптеров:
- Intel Wireless-AC 9560 [Jefferson Peak] (rev 10) — имеет антенны 2×2, поддержку MU-MIMO и поддержку AC
- Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 (rev 24)
Они очень хорошо работают для передачи данных или захвата рукопожатий. Я думаю, что все представители линеек Wireless-AC **** и Intel Centrino Advanced-N **** поддерживают режим монитора и беспроводные инъекции. Но, конечно, нужно делать поправку на отсутствие внешних антенн.

Preliminary remarks (‘the best Kali Linux Wi-Fi adapter’)
As it was said many times already, there are no ‘the best Wi-Fi adapter for wardriving’. Sometimes we need to work covertly, and we need tiny Wi-Fi dongle, sometimes we work in “concrete jungle” and we need the most powerful and the most sensitive device with big antennas. Some of us live among a lot of 5.0GHz ac APs, but in some regions 5.0GHz APs are absent. Some of us don’t mind to spend 50 bucks, but some look for a cheap, second-hand adapter… We are different, our environment are different and for us the best Wi-Fi adapters are different as well.
- adapter with big external antennas usually are more sensitive and powerful (it is important)
- Alfa adapters are very good choice for the majority
My personal preferences are modern models of Alfa.
Here I collected a big list of Wi-Fi dongles which support monitor mode and wireless injection. With any of these models you will be able to capture a handshake and to perform the majority of wireless attacks.
rtl8812au and rtl8814au drivers
rtl8812au
If you bought a dual band (2.4GHz & 5.0GHz) adapter with RTL8812AU/21AU chipset, you need to install rtl8812au driver. In Kali Linux you can do it this way:
Reboot your system or unplug/plug an adapter.
Hot to install this driver on other Linux distributions, how to control TX power, how to switch between USB modes (2.0 and 3.0) and how control LED (LED), see this article.
rtl8814au
Please note that RTL8814AU chipset support is disabled in the realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms driver! A separate driver has been made for this chipset, which may conflict with RTL8814AU!
Therefore, if you do not need the realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms driver (now supports RTL8812AU/21AU chipsets), then uninstall it:
If you need it, do not delete it and check if they will conflict.
Run the following commands to install RTL8814AU:
A reboot may be required for the driver to work. For switching between USB2.0/3.0 modes for RTL8814AU, see here.
The difference in RTL8812AU and RTL8814AU chipsets is only in the ability to support different numbers of antennas. On Realtek RTL8812AU there are up to 2, on Realtek RTL8814AU, respectively, up to 4 antennas. In some cases, depending on the circuit design of the device manufacturer or firmware, antennas can be used only for transmission or only for reception. Also, some devices work in only one range of choice, others in two ranges simultaneously. Consider this when buying devices.
Some vendors, for example Alfa AWUS036ACH , Alfa AWUS1900 , TRENDnet TEW-809UB , hang an additional nice features in circuitry like an amplifier, etc.
In addition, keep in mind if you decide to save money and buy goods on AliExpress-type sites on the above chipsets. Antennas can be 2, 4 or even more)), the whole essence of these 2.4/5.0 GHz chipsets is also MIMO, which with numerous antennas increases, for example, the chances of catching a handshake, but unfortunately some China vendors often do multiplexing instead of MIMO or even place not connected antennas.

Built-in Wi-FI adapters for Laptops compatible with Kali Linux
Some laptops are shipped with wireless adapters which support monitor mode and wireless injection. For example Intel chips can do it. There are good Intel wireless drivers for Linux. Therefore, they are suitable for everyday usage in Linux and for wireless attacks. For a long time I have laptops with:
- Intel Wireless-AC 9560 [Jefferson Peak] (rev 10)
- Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 (rev 24)
They are pretty good to data transmission or capturing handshakes. I guess the all Intel Wireless-AC **** and Intel Centrino Advanced-N **** lines support monitor mode and wireless injection. So Intel internal adapters help me when I cannot use external Alfa adapters.

47 Comments to USB Wi-Fi Adapters with monitor mode and wireless injection (100% compatible with Kali Linux) 2021
I’ve tried to find out if chipset RTL8812BU supports monitor mode and injection. In WkiDevi I’ve seen TP-Link Archer T4U v3 which is listed here with RTL 8812AU has in fact the BU as well (v1 and v2 have the AU). I’ve come across other people asking about the BU one in other places, but there seem to be no anwser… yet. Maybe since it’s newer it hasn’t been tested yet. Could you please help me? I’m intested in a dongle with that RTL8812BU, because it has a good price.
I am also wondering if the ‘BU’ chipset from the TP-LINK ARCHER T4U VERSION 3 AC1300 RTLBU will be able to work in monitor mode. I haven’t bought it yet but I could be soon. The sources I have found have said BU WILL NOT go into monitor mode, however, it’s for my husband, and he says he feels like it could work. He’s a Linux junkie and the challenge excites him but I would like to know before also
Thanks for your answer, Dollskin. I also found somewhere else, after writing my message the other day, that the BU variant doesn’t work for monitor mode… But if it could be possible, if someone finds the way to make it work, I’d like to know. If your husband finally gives it a try and gets it or not, or you find some definitive (either positive or negative) answer somewhere, could you please give feedback here? I’d very mucn appreciate it!
I just bought one. No monitor mode 🙁
Just bought one myself because it’s so cheap I figured I might as well take a punt at it. Got monitor mode working by installing the driver in the first link and the following the instruction in the second link for copying over a file.
The one problem I have is that it can’t seem to set txpower using either iwconfig or iw. The user who posted the link to getting monitor mode working using that file copy says that set txpower worked for him, but it didn’t work in my case. I receive an error stating «SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not permitted».
Output of «iw list» shows that should be able to dial it up to 20dBm and 30dBm for 2.4GHz and 5GHz respectively. The following link suggests that might be due to regulatory domain compliance based on country code that’s set and it details a way to mod/change it. I set regulatory domain to BO and tried it again but same result. I’m not trying to set mine above the max stated (also tried 20dBm and 19dBm for kicks) so I think this should work without rebuilding the DB by adding a custom entry.
Curiously, the supported modes in the «iw list» output does not list monitor mode, but the wifi dongle goes into monitor mode and works fine when using iwconfig and has no trouble capturing with airodump-ng.
I’m specifically needing to use this adapter with bettercap. After digging into the bettercap code though, that application effectively uses «iw dev wlan0 set txpower fixed 30mBm» when setting «wifi.recon on» within in application (this enables capture) and will just fail if it can’t set that value. In the case of the RTL8812BU it does seem to fail because the set of iw commands supported by the driver that I have seems limited and I don’t believe this is an issue with the chipset itself.
Based on this I think full functionality is possible with some driver modification (or recompiling bettercap to just skip setting the txpower, but really don’t know whether or not that’ll work or what other effects it might have).
I’ve never touched driver code before and not even sure where to start but I’m going to tinker and see what I can find out.
Someone who has experience writing or modifying drivers, please see the first link I posted as a good starting point. I’ve tried many other drivers but none of them worked for this use.
Could you share what would be yor personal favourite team of USB dongles for auditing WLANs? I’m starting with this and just grabbed a AWUS036ac and a AWUS036nha.
I don’t have a team of dongles yet. How are you doing with yours?
Alfa is always the first choice in our house. As far as USB *donglea*, we have used TP Link network adapters (thst can be put in monitor mode) with great success.
For the moment, im fine with the Alfas, but I have to say that the best one is the TPlink 722n, in a long test the 036ac captured 10 handshakes, the 036nha 12 and the TPlink 17.
For the price is great, the only downside is that you have to take care of the version you are buying.
Thank you for your feedback! Yes, unfortunately the TP-Link 722N has to be v.1. It is nearly impossible to find in both online and offline stores, except for second hand selling in sites like eBay, which is a bit risky.
TP-Link 722N v3 uses RT5370 which supports IBSS, managed, monitor, mesh point, AP, AP/VLAN, WDS. Do you have an opinion on v3?
Can you please share your steps to putting the v3 in monitor mode? Thanks
I purchased TP Link T9UH V2 based on your advise and it is not having monitor mode
I had the same question with you about TP Link T9UH V2, but in it’s support page, if you choose Version 1, https://www.tp-link.com/gr/support/download/archer-t9uh/v1/#Driver there is an option
