If you attach it to a "Small, Parabolic Style Dish", you can actually make it perform like a "directional antenna." If used @ home,you can even use an outdoor style antenna with a repeater every 50 ft. if needed and cover a much broader area for Wi-fi signal's. When I used it as a mobile device for my laptop, I could easily cover 2 plus miles in any direction I pointed my antenna mounted on a tri-pod. A lot of fun!!!!

This is my 1st time here. I just happened to see you based on an interest in computer's and programming. The ALPHA is what I started out with, and still have. What I really love about it is that I can use it as a mobile antenna and not just at home. Mine is the old 2.4 ghtz.

I’ve switched solely to parrot, much nicer GUI, CL is colorful and tools like bettercap and other are pre installed. Service ssh start is the only bummer cause with out that line no ssh. Kali just end ssh right after boot up.
i got every single of my adapters in monitor mode on several linux distress. Kali, Manjaro, Mint you name it I finally figured them all out scanning and injecting

It doesn't . I bought a win722n v2 for 10$ but unfortunately it doesn't work neither on kali Linux nor on other Linux distributions like wifislax . Yes of course , you can install the drivers but you will end up wasting your time because it won't work .now I am looking for win722n v1 is the best option in my case.
@@aminefarahateamine7646 Man I know what i'm talking about, I have this wi-fi adapter, but V3.20. I've installed special drivers from github and it works. Just search on youtube "how to enable monitor mode on tp link wn722n V2/V3".
For TP-LINK network adapter There is a solution to the problem of Tl-wn722n v2 , v3 by writing a set of commands and then it will support the injection and monitoring feature I tried it personally and it worked when I discovered that I had purchased the third version

I am from Nepal and for getting a good wifi adapter I should do bus travel for more than 15 hours and then also I could get hardly good one. It's quite trouble in Nepal if you are espically belong to remote area like me and if you are a programmer or a hacker. Love you sir from Nepal. Huge respect.
I want to learn all this with you sir. And I don't know anything about this how it happens. But I know that you will teach me everything. for the benefit of society,
I am so lucky to have an onboard wifi adapter on my 15 years old dual core that allows me to use wireshark and such! That's my good old "mess around with" machine! :) (currently running kali linux for the fun of learning)
For the BEST range, eBay has some 25dB Yagi antennas for under $20 but for 2.4Ghz only. I have one. They only come with poor grade coax so you may want to replace the coax (with the shortest length possible) of quality microwave coax, such as Times Microwave LM-600. Another alternative is to cut the cable short and install an RP-SMA near the antenna then mount your WiFi adapter there as near the antenna as possible. If necessary, use a USB extension cable or active repeater cable. You need soldering skills to change the cable and an RP-SMA connector. You don't want all of your incredible gain to be lost in bad coax. For 5GHz, you can get 6dB or 8dB for about $50 or you can go with a dish for 30dB but only a single band (2.4 or 5) and again, get a good cable. Some of these come with an N connector and a very short cable so you can get an N-to-RPSMA adapter, change it to RP-SMA or get a microwave cable with N on one end and RP-SMA on the other. A dish or Yagi is NOT an antenna that you can conceal. Another choice is a single or dual-band patch antenna for under $30 with 6 to 10dB gain but more easy to conceal. Watch your connectors. Some may be SMA, RP-SMA or N.
*Best Wi-Fi adapter I used so far is the Alfa AWUS0S036ACU it’s 2ghz and 5ghz and easy driver install on Kali Linux. Works like a dream. If anyone needs help with the driver it’s like 2 commands and it installs*
Hi David. I've recently fallen down the hacking/pentesting rabbithole thanks, in part, to your videos! I've downloaded VMware, I've got a Kali build for it. I bought a wifi nation WN-H2 (its the one you showed on the leaflet without the antenna). After downloading some drivers I've got it to a point where Kali detects it. I can change the mode to monitor in iwconfig but when I run airodump-ng nothing is detected. I've tried the adapter in every USB my machine has and I've tried messing with the USB 2.0/3.0 settings in VMware and nothing works. Any pointers?
Could be the settings on your VirM make sure the network adapter is bridged in the settings. IIRC airodump uses a separate capture method for the handshake from programs like wifite or wifihoney. So if it is not bridged its read as a wired connection. That could be why the pentest stops at the capture but still reads your configuration. Hope this helps. If I were you I would try a few of the other methods like cracking with rainbow tables after you capture or a dictionary attack which you can use in promiscuity mode.
David! Chuck has crossed 1 million subscribers. Now let's make your youtube channel cross 1 million subscribers. Well you are becoming smart from fat. #love_from_fatty

Always love your work sir... I wanna say plz Take TP Link WN722N v2/v3 into consideration, as I used them and they work both for monitor mode and packet injection and to create fake AP too. THE REASON WHY: I'm asking you is that many peoples like me won't be able to purchase these expensive adapters. AND IF YOU MAKE VIDEOS on what are other possibilities that this particular TP Link Adapter(costs 8.16dollar) can do, which i don't know, It would be very beneficial for us. Thank you so much, I've always considered myself to be your student. Thank you for your great content sir !!!
@@rajeevchourasiya3889 I covered the adapter in the video. The v2/3 don't work. Only the v1 in my tests and from what I have seen on aircrack website and elsewhere.
Alfa AWUS036NHA is hard to find the driver for online if you don't have the disk anymore, or if you don't have a disk drive, such as using a Pi4. I finally found one but you really have to dig the web for it. But glad you mentioned the 2 and 5 bands.
I am using tp-link tl- wn772n version 3 in my kali virtual machine. It doesn't work out of the box. We need to install it's driver then it support both monitor mode and packet injection.
PS. WOW! Now that's a well done index page, I like that thank you! I was thinking as I was opening it that I hope there's some links, and while you've done all the work for us- thanks!
Cool video Doug! I started with a Broadcom. In the end it didn't work out so well but I learned more about repo's, bash, modules and sysctl, blacklists, adapters, nm, oh man it goes on and on what I was forced to learn along the way. I suppose not too bad a thing but I must say watching your video is probably better. Lastly, another pretty good reason to have an external (2nd) adapter is that many scripts and tools make use of multiple adapters, not always necessary but you can do some neat stuff when you got two in play. Hopefully I didn't just miss you already saying that.
I really appreciate you David, you have the potent and in depth knowledge on the topics you discuss. You really do a lot of background work before revealing the videos. God bless.

I just bought a new ALFA AWUS036ACH and yes, you're right, it doesn't work with Kali out of the box, I'm struggling with the driver's, I'll try with parrot, new sub here. 👍
Thank you for subscribing Jose. I'm going to upload a video soon showing you how to get the AWUS036ACH to work with Kali. But, let me know if Parrot works for you.
@@davidbombal Thanks, i've tested the AWUS06ACH on Parrot and i can confirm that works without any driver install, the only thing is that the adapter name is shown as wlx(MAC) and not just as wlan0.
I have EVERY single tp link adapter all the t2u's and they are solid. BUT Alfa with an Alfa switched out Long antenna or the little flat panel antenna are hands down my best and its not even close
While true that TP-Link TL-WN722N V2/3 isn't supposed to work as monitor mode but it actualy can work if u upgrade headers and install support for it (speaking from personal expermint ) anyways I just wanted to thank you alot You introuduce me to this wonderful industry and I learned alot from you ❤
I use tplink ver 1, I got lucky because it was the last one. It has some problems with Kali,after the installation when you close the program,you have to reinstall it again every time. I use the modprobe command. It supports monitor mode and packet injection . it is a bit slow, but it is very stable. I have ordered Panda Wireless PAU09 N600 Dual Band and the Alfa AWUS036ACM, just to try them out,haven't received them yet. I also have the Alfa AWUS036NHA,but I can't get it work in Kali. It used to work perfectly,but after an update it just stopped working. Don't know why.And I lost the clip,which was Great, bummer on that....right now Its not recognised by Kali . I use a virtual machine to run Kali Linux. Always great content and straight to the point without messing around. It's very important that you insist on checking the chipset and not just the brand.
Thanks for thr great content. Does the Panda Pau09 work out of the box with kali? Or which stick would you recommand for 2.4 and 5ghz which works out of the box. Thanks👍👍👍
Great content! I always walk away with a decent amount of knowledge. (I would really like to know who would downvote David’s videos and why? If the video is not right up your alley, just walk away... some people... smh)
Kind of a weird question.. but say you buy one of the 5ghz adaptors and want to extend the range, should you replace both antennas with the larger 9dbi omni? or just the TX or RX channel? Also, I have used the 7dbi panel in the past but it seems not to work too great.. my range was only about 50ft. What would be a good antenna to use to put on my roof or something a bit larger that would cover a broad area? Great videos!
Nice video Sir I from a third world country so Alfa products are hard to find here and they're very expensive. I have the cheap TP-LINK TL-WN722N version 1.8 and it works fine and right out of the box on Kali and ParrotOS.
David, could you please help me with some tips or keywords to search for? I've tried with my limited knowledge but couldn't find anything useful. How can I clone a USB dongle for my headset and mouse? What techniques are involved in this? Is it possible to hack dongles so they can be rewritten or something similar? Also, is there a way to combine the dongles for a keyboard, mouse, and headset into a hub that transfers everything to a single dongle, with the goal of unifying three dongles into one?
I gave up trying to get the tp link wn722n v2/v3 to work. Even watching your tutorial on it. I'm just going to buy one working out the box with Kali Linux.
Nice video! One question, so to make fake APs with captive portal in kali linux (virtual machine) I need two adapters, because one acts as a router and the other is for deauther packets? Thank you.
If you want to check whether your In-Built Wifi Adapter Supports Monitor Mode Do the Following: Download and Install a Official Tool from Microsoft Called *Microsoft Network Monitor 3.4* (Don't worry still works with windows 10) - Next, launch the app and on the Start page, click on “New Capture”. - On the New Capture tab, we want only the Wi-Fi card to listen to the packets. To do that, click on the “Capture Settings” option on the top toolbar. - On the settings dialogue box, uncheck everything else apart from Wi-Fi and click on the Close button. This is to ensure that the Wi-Fi card only listens to network traffic. - Post the setup, click on the “Start” button to start capturing the packets. -In case you get an error popping up, it means your Wi-Fi card doesn’t support monitor mode. Whilst, if packets are being successfully captured, it means that your Wi-Fi card supports monitor mode. Hope It Helps :)
I verified that the BrosTrend AC3L does work in monitor mode in a Kali VM on my laptop with kernel 6.8, 6.9, and 6.11 (and probably others). This was right out of the box with no driver installation or settings of any sort.
Dear David I am a student studying Kali & network Regardless of the price, which of the two products below is better to buy? (or other products) I will study hard with the product you choose!! [Alfa AWUS1900 VS Alfa AWUS036ACH]
review the alfa APA M25 antenna, and also the tupavco tp513 yagi antenna...awesome chanel by the way....by the way , which of those adapters provide the longest range, which ones can pull up signals farther away?

It also taught me to hold onto most old hardware n add it to my home lab
IDK if you've a video on it, but I've not seen a good video on setting up a home pentest lab using a older wifi router, a no.

And that's given me endless hours of experience because I can change it to resemble a corporate/home/super hardened environment easily, and with old hardware or a cheap pi 0/other iot device/old phone added here n there to setup a network I believe using virtual machines can't do proper justice

I’ve switched solely to parrot, much nicer GUI, CL is colorful and tools like bettercap and other are pre installed. Service ssh start is the only bummer cause with out that line no ssh. Kali just end ssh right after boot up.
i got every single of my adapters in monitor mode on several linux distress. Kali, Manjaro, Mint you name it I finally figured them all out scanning and injecting
i use cheap terabyte and tenda wifi adaptor and they both works out of the box on kali. Both supports monitor mode.
Tenda wifi adaptor which one? can you put a link? Thanks
Hi which models u r using?
This is going to be a video that people will reference in 2024 when trying to buy a antenna. thank you for this david; very rare that people invest this much into their own content!
Must be analogs noobs😉
Thank you as always! Always great information. I would love to hear your laptop picks or pick for networking/hacking.
I covered some of this in my discussions with Neal here: ruclips.net/video/jsMp65-piIc/видео.html - but, basically, don't spend lots of money unless you want to.
@@davidbombal hi
@@davidbombal sir my question is can we use dual power y cable for alfa card to give extra power? I am asking this question because usb 3.0 give about 700mw power but some alfa card works on 2000mW .Sir waiting for your reply.
OMG YES! I have been struggling to find a vid on this that goes into detail with all the requirements and setup, been a sub for a while now on a few accounts. Great stuff thank you so much!
10:09 Even if it's version 3, you can install drivers that support monitor mode and packet injection.
It doesn't . I bought a win722n v2 for 10$ but unfortunately it doesn't work neither on kali Linux nor on other Linux distributions like wifislax . Yes of course , you can install the drivers but you will end up wasting your time because it won't work .now I am looking for win722n v1 is the best option in my case.
@@aminefarahateamine7646 Man I know what i'm talking about, I have this wi-fi adapter, but V3.20. I've installed special drivers from github and it works. Just search on youtube "how to enable monitor mode on tp link wn722n V2/V3".
It's not working
@@tawfiqhafeeza2398 lel i have the version 2 and its working after installing driver....
For TP-LINK network adapter There is a solution to the problem of Tl-wn722n v2 , v3 by writing a set of commands and then it will support the injection and monitoring feature I tried it personally and it worked when I discovered that I had purchased the third version
Sir how to deauth attack on bluetooth device like wifi deauthetication attack. Pls sir make a video on it . Love from India ♥️
I'm working on this :)

Awesome! I can't wait for that video 🤓
Simple , you want to do with Bluetooth?
@@8080VB yes brother
Panda, EASTECH, and Pineapple Mark VII....I have them all and they work AMAZING! All support monitor and injection.
Thx for the video I was looking for something like this...
Omg thank you guys for recommending me to gwin_tech on Instagram that guy is a genius and reliable he’s a really good hacker all thanks to him 💯💯
Hello Mr Bombal , thank you for your excellent job , there is a Small correction in your script in order to return all the adapters not only wlan0 , below is the correct one :
pattern = r'^wlan[0-9]+'
check_wifi_result = subprocess.run(["iwconfig"], capture_output=True).stdout.decode()
wifi_adapters = re.findall(pattern,check_wifi_result,re.MULTILINE)
print(wifi_adapters)
Thanks
3:08 hey David sir
Can you tell me of this adapter supports packet injection and monitor mode or not
David is right some unbranded adapters are pretty solid. Github will have every driver you'd need.
Please make a Wi-Fi antenna vid! Love the video!!1
I am from Nepal and for getting a good wifi adapter I should do bus travel for more than 15 hours and then also I could get hardly good one.
It's quite trouble in Nepal if you are espically belong to remote area like me and if you are a programmer or a hacker.
Love you sir from Nepal.
Huge respect.
Thank you David. Really appreciate this sort of content for some of us noobs
Can we possibly touch on this topic again, but cover ups and downs, look at db and noise floor etc...
a review of the antennas would be awesome too by the way
I second this! and would also like the use of extension cables, DIY antennas, and LR equipment to be gone over. Please.
I want to learn all this with you sir. And I don't know anything about this how it happens. But I know that you will teach me everything. for the benefit of society,
I’m so glad that there’s a place above my experience level that doesn’t have that baseball hat music.
I am so lucky to have an onboard wifi adapter on my 15 years old dual core that allows me to use wireshark and such! That's my good old "mess around with" machine! :) (currently running kali linux for the fun of learning)
Definitely test and review some antennas. Itd be interesting to see whether that dish shaped one performs better or worse than the long ones.
For the BEST range, eBay has some 25dB Yagi antennas for under $20 but for 2.4Ghz only. I have one. They only come with poor grade coax so you may want to replace the coax (with the shortest length possible) of quality microwave coax, such as Times Microwave LM-600. Another alternative is to cut the cable short and install an RP-SMA near the antenna then mount your WiFi adapter there as near the antenna as possible. If necessary, use a USB extension cable or active repeater cable. You need soldering skills to change the cable and an RP-SMA connector. You don't want all of your incredible gain to be lost in bad coax. For 5GHz, you can get 6dB or 8dB for about $50 or you can go with a dish for 30dB but only a single band (2.4 or 5) and again, get a good cable. Some of these come with an N connector and a very short cable so you can get an N-to-RPSMA adapter, change it to RP-SMA or get a microwave cable with N on one end and RP-SMA on the other.
A dish or Yagi is NOT an antenna that you can conceal. Another choice is a single or dual-band patch antenna for under $30 with 6 to 10dB gain but more easy to conceal. Watch your connectors. Some may be SMA, RP-SMA or N.
*Best Wi-Fi adapter I used so far is the Alfa AWUS0S036ACU it’s 2ghz and 5ghz and easy driver install on Kali Linux. Works like a dream. If anyone needs help with the driver it’s like 2 commands and it installs*
Hi David. I've recently fallen down the hacking/pentesting rabbithole thanks, in part, to your videos!
I've downloaded VMware, I've got a Kali build for it. I bought a wifi nation WN-H2 (its the one you showed on the leaflet without the antenna). After downloading some drivers I've got it to a point where Kali detects it. I can change the mode to monitor in iwconfig but when I run airodump-ng nothing is detected.
I've tried the adapter in every USB my machine has and I've tried messing with the USB 2.0/3.0 settings in VMware and nothing works.
Any pointers?
Could be the settings on your VirM make sure the network adapter is bridged in the settings. IIRC airodump uses a separate capture method for the handshake from programs like wifite or wifihoney. So if it is not bridged its read as a wired connection. That could be why the pentest stops at the capture but still reads your configuration. Hope this helps. If I were you I would try a few of the other methods like cracking with rainbow tables after you capture or a dictionary attack which you can use in promiscuity mode.
could be that you need to install the adapters driver
Sir I am your big fan You are my hacking ideal we are blessed to have you on RUclips !!!

Always love your work sir...
I wanna say plz Take TP Link WN722N v2/v3 into consideration, as I used them and they work both for monitor mode and packet injection and to create fake AP too.
THE REASON WHY: I'm asking you is that many peoples like me won't be able to purchase these expensive adapters. AND IF YOU MAKE VIDEOS on what are other possibilities that this particular TP Link Adapter(costs 8.16dollar) can do, which i don't know, It would be very beneficial for us.
Thank you so much, I've always considered myself to be your student.
Thank you for your great content sir !!!
@@rajeevchourasiya3889 I covered the adapter in the video. The v2/3 don't work. Only the v1 in my tests and from what I have seen on aircrack website and elsewhere.
David please give a adapter. In my country there are not available any adapter which support monitor or injection. I am from Bangladesh.
@@davidbombal It is working great by some custom drivers.
@@rajeevchourasiya3889 Can you give me a link to the documentation showing the driver installation and process etc? I'll create a video showing that.
Alfa AWUS036NHA is hard to find the driver for online if you don't have the disk anymore, or if you don't have a disk drive, such as using a Pi4. I finally found one but you really have to dig the web for it. But glad you mentioned the 2 and 5 bands.
I am using tp-link tl- wn772n version 3 in my kali virtual machine. It doesn't work out of the box. We need to install it's driver then it support both monitor mode and packet injection.
That's why it's very important to change your wifi password on a regular basis and to monitor wifi clients
PS. WOW! Now that's a well done index page, I like that thank you! I was thinking as I was opening it that I hope there's some links, and while you've done all the work for us- thanks!
Cool video Doug! I started with a Broadcom. In the end it didn't work out so well but I learned more about repo's, bash, modules and sysctl, blacklists, adapters, nm, oh man it goes on and on what I was forced to learn along the way. I suppose not too bad a thing but I must say watching your video is probably better. Lastly, another pretty good reason to have an external (2nd) adapter is that many scripts and tools make use of multiple adapters, not always necessary but you can do some neat stuff when you got two in play. Hopefully I didn't just miss you already saying that.
I really appreciate you David, you have the potent and in depth knowledge on the topics you discuss.
You really do a lot of background work before revealing the videos.
God bless.
Thank you :)

Is there a way to remotely knock down Bluetooth speakers?
While true that TP-Link TL-WN722N V2/3 isn't supposed to work as monitor mode but it actualy can work if u upgrade headers and install support for it (speaking from personal expermint ) anyways I just wanted to thank you alot You introuduce me to this wonderful industry and I learned alot from you ❤
I've found the solution and will create a video about it :)
Thank you very very much ❤. I'm a beginner and it frustrated me a lot, you have solved my problem

Am so happy u have done a video about this David. Thanks. We keep learning.
Thank you Ben. And you're welcome!
I use tplink ver 1, I got lucky because it was the last one. It has some problems with Kali,after the installation when you close the program,you have to reinstall it again every time. I use the modprobe command. It supports monitor mode and packet injection . it is a bit slow, but it is very stable. I have ordered Panda Wireless PAU09 N600 Dual Band and the Alfa AWUS036ACM, just to try them out,haven't received them yet. I also have the Alfa AWUS036NHA,but I can't get it work in Kali. It used to work perfectly,but after an update it just stopped working. Don't know why.And I lost the clip,which was Great, bummer on that....right now Its not recognised by Kali . I use a virtual machine to run Kali Linux.
Always great content and straight to the point without messing around. It's very important that you insist on checking the chipset and not just the brand.
Thank you David! Im in the market for an adapter and got bogged down. You made my choice easy!
Thanks for thr great content. Does the Panda Pau09 work out of the box with kali? Or which stick would you recommand for 2.4 and 5ghz which works out of the box. Thanks👍👍👍
Is there any wifi adapter which works out of the box and has 5ghz
Great content! I always walk away with a decent amount of knowledge. (I would really like to know who would downvote David’s videos and why? If the video is not right up your alley, just walk away... some people... smh)

@@davidbombal it's lovely for getting a heart from you Sir Thanks India Loves You
Kind of a weird question.. but say you buy one of the 5ghz adaptors and want to extend the range, should you replace both antennas with the larger 9dbi omni? or just the TX or RX channel? Also, I have used the 7dbi panel in the past but it seems not to work too great.. my range was only about 50ft. What would be a good antenna to use to put on my roof or something a bit larger that would cover a broad area?
Great videos!
Excellent tutorial David! Amazing content. Usefull for my CEH study and my job as pentester. Thanks!
Nice video Sir
I from a third world country so Alfa products are hard to find here and they're very expensive.

Thank you Vishal. Let me know how things go with the adapter :)
David, could you please help me with some tips or keywords to search for? I've tried with my limited knowledge but couldn't find anything useful. How can I clone a USB dongle for my headset and mouse? What techniques are involved in this? Is it possible to hack dongles so they can be rewritten or something similar? Also, is there a way to combine the dongles for a keyboard, mouse, and headset into a hub that transfers everything to a single dongle, with the goal of unifying three dongles into one?
Sir what are the advantages of the multi antenna adapter which you showed (Alfa AC1900)
I gave up trying to get the tp link wn722n v2/v3 to work. Even watching your tutorial on it. I'm just going to buy one working out the box with Kali Linux.

ALFA AC1900 or ALFA AWUS036ACH ( TYPE C) Which one would you prefer and why?
Thanks.
hello great video I'm watching you from France I would like to know if the alfa network AWUS036NHV CS wifi adapter is compatible with monitor mode?
Thanks so much, i joined your discord server and asking what adaptor for kali Linux and now you making this video, thanks so much❤️❤️
You're welcome Luis :)
the explanation is very well. thanks. btw I'm from indonesia
Nice video! One question, so to make fake APs with captive portal in kali linux (virtual machine) I need two adapters, because one acts as a router and the other is for deauther packets? Thank you.
If you want to check whether your In-Built Wifi Adapter Supports Monitor Mode Do the Following: Download and Install a Official Tool from Microsoft Called *Microsoft Network Monitor 3.4* (Don't worry still works with windows 10)
- Next, launch the app and on the Start page, click on “New Capture”.
- On the New Capture tab, we want only the Wi-Fi card to listen to the packets. To do that, click on the “Capture Settings” option on the top toolbar.
- On the settings dialogue box, uncheck everything else apart from Wi-Fi and click on the Close button. This is to ensure that the Wi-Fi card only listens to network traffic.
- Post the setup, click on the “Start” button to start capturing the packets.
-In case you get an error popping up, it means your Wi-Fi card doesn’t support monitor mode. Whilst, if packets are being successfully captured, it means that your Wi-Fi card supports monitor mode.
Hope It Helps :)
I verified that the BrosTrend AC3L does work in monitor mode in a Kali VM on my laptop with kernel 6.8, 6.9, and 6.11 (and probably others). This was right out of the box with no driver installation or settings of any sort.
Dear David

Regardless of the price, which of the two products below is better to buy?
(or other products)
I will study hard with the product you choose!!
[Alfa AWUS1900 VS Alfa AWUS036ACH]
review the alfa APA M25 antenna, and also the tupavco tp513 yagi antenna...awesome chanel by the way....by the way , which of those adapters provide the longest range, which ones can pull up signals farther away?
I use the alfa adapter you have there, works great.
Hello nice video, I had a question, but does the Alfa AWUS036ACS Wifi adapter work well with kali linux, does it support packet injection and monitor mode? thanks for the replies
Which wifi adapters are you guys using which supports both and is working out the box and best bang for the buck.
Have the same inquiry. This comment dates 4 months ago I'm assuming you already bought one, if so which one would you recommend?
