Almost identical to the instructions i found. Though i trust your method far more than others. I may redo mine just for that very reason. Thank you david!
Dear Mr.Bombal I am not able to get a hacking wifi adapter as suggested by you in India as amazon is showing its now possible to deliver a that address , plz help me out 🙏. Your truely Bombal army memeber ❤️
This is the second video of yours that has saved me hours upon hours of researching and critical thinking. I've been slowly learning how to properly test WiFi and I can't thank you enough for your content. Hats off to you sir!
David you truly are the best. Thank you for going to such detailed and explained video. You make our life a lot easier. I wish you and your family the very best!
Mr David Bombal, sir the AWUS036ACM alfa Wifi adapter is a MediaTek 7612U chipset. In order for the wifi adapter AWUS036ACM to be detected is to load up the kali in VMware or virtual box first than you inserted or plug right in the wifi adapter in order for the wifi adapter to get detected than you do ifconfig or lsusb to check. I have both tested kali and parrot (the latest versions) and it works. Make sure to load up kali or parrot first then plug in the AWUS036ACM wifi adapter then it works. Make sure to insert the wifi adapter via usb 3.0 (the blue connector) set the VMware and virtual box with 3.1 and 3.0 respectively. If you do a tutorial video on this fix that will be excellent.
Nice one David. The folks who had to use sudo to run make install (at 5:10) probably ran `git clone` as root, which would mean they wouldn't have permission to create files inside the repository as their normal user. If this happens to you, best practice is to delete the cloned repo, re-clone it and run `make` without sudo, then run `make install` with sudo.
David, Ive tried numerous methods of getting my WIFI to work with my Linux Kali. Your video did work for step by step. I dance in my room as soon as it got connected. Most grateful and deeply appreciate it . Thanks
I remember leaving a comment asking for this exact video! I literally just got it up and running after giving up and plugging it in directly to my kali raspberry and it finally worked haha I’ll refer back to this video when I get around to trying it in a VM
Respect for this accurate slow detailed video. I am a power user on Mac but have I have no idea how to do anything on Linux and would be completely lost. Everything worked like a charm and my network card is running.
@@davidbombal This was interesting... on my Windows 10 workstation running a fully updated kali in VirtualBox....its not working - lsusb freezes and wont show any output untill i disconnect the dongle. I've tried installing the windows-driver but that didnt help. Then i connected it to my Macbook Air M1 running kali in parrallels....and boom - works out of the box... no driver-installation or apt update or anything...i fired up wifite and it worked fine. Maybe i should test a Vmware installation of kali instead of Virtualbox.
Thanks Dave , another great tutorial .... i was pulling hair out trying to get the Alfa going ! you made the process seamless ! thanks once again .. regards Steve (Adelaide)
YOU. ARE. THE. MAN! Thank you so much David for your time and efforts with all these videos. So much great content so helpful and informative. I couldn't figure out how to get this Alfa Wireless adapter to connect for the longest time until today!
For anyone using Kali in VirtualBox, you might have to add a USB Device Filter for the adapter before it will be available for use in your Kali VM. I followed the provided steps exactly, and this was the only addition I needed to get it working.
Hey man, any suggestions..I made the filter with name, vendor and product. But Kali (VBox) doesnt see it. Ubuntu sees it, but not inside the VM. Thoughts?
You made my day! Your tutorial worked out perfectly. Thank you so much. I was closely to throw away my ASUS wifi adapter after spoiling millions of hours trying to get my adapter running.
Thanks a lot David! I watched a few of your videos on the F0 before/after I bought one, and that inevitably led me to start playing with Kali Linux on a virtual machine. I got an external WiFi adaptor, and I spent hours reading forums and watching videos trying to get it to work, which is extra frustrating as I am new to Linux. This video got WiFi up and running!
Love the videos David. Quick thing about the AWUS036ACM, it has a Mediatek MediaTek MT7612U, it's the older 036AC(not ACM) variant that has the RTL8812AU chipset. Can you verify if the ACM model with the MediaTek chip you have needs this DKMS style driver or if it's supported natively in-kernel? Buying a 5GHz adapter soon for Kali/Wifite and want to get the most stable one :)
Pin this comment please: you forgot to install Linux headers before u do “make” after u got the git clone. Go out the folder then enter command: “sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential bc dkms git libelf-dev rfkill iw” After this command u go into rt folder and do make and sudo make install.
Absolute legend! Thank you so much for this, I have literally spent hours trying to fix this and this worked. I literally jumped out of my chair when kali finally recognised my adapter.
Alfa Awus 036ACH with RTL8812AU INVisible network to kali 2024.2 Why?,whats the problem? and kali 2024.2 live USB ,and kali 2024.2 everything to PC dual boot with win 10....I can not see available network????????????
Bought the AWUS036AC because i saw this video of you getting the drivers working and ive just set it up following your guide, works perfectly thank you David
I love you so much. Its meanwhile 2.30 AM and I have to work in 4 hours, but I had to solve the problem. I was so frustated and questioned all my life choices... and then I found your Video and you just dropped "Ok, lets solve the problem" Everything you said (including the hanging) is happened to me. You save so much time and spread hope. Really thank you and greetings from Germany
Been having problems with an RT WiFi driver for over a week,purchased new WiFi adapted yesterday,be here tomorrow. Hopefully get both going. Super interesting learning this,really appreciate your time and videos,I’ll get there. 😂👍

hi can u show us the fix for ALFA card Alfa AWUS036ACH on kali linux 2024.1 2024.2 since the system cannot see the card and cannot put the card into monitor mode
This is because, for reasons unknown to me, the Linux kernel of Kali Linux 2024.2 (6.8.11-amd64) does not contain a /lib/modules/6.8.11-amd64/build file, which should point to a /usr/src/6.8.11-amd64 directory that likewise does not exist. To resolve this issue, follow these steps: 1. Run the command: sudo apt install linux-headers-6.8.11-amd64. 2. Reboot your system: sudo reboot. 3. Lastly, check whether your NIC is recognized by ifconfig. Good luck!
@@truongx3nguyendo320 appreciate your feedback thanks, tried and the NIC is recognized as wlan1 now, good step forward! However no way I can set it to monitor mode… airmon-ng check kill and airmon-ng start wlan1 commands works but still the NIC still managed… arf…
I really enjoy watching your videos. I've always been tech savvy but I've recently started learning some basics and intermediate topics you cover on your channel. You are a great teacher. Thank you for your service to us wanting to learn. 👍👍
Life Saver mate i watched whole youtube but useless after restarting kali there still wasnt showing my alfa adapter but after watching this everything works Perfectly Thanks a lot
I wasted days of my life before watching this video. I have TP-Link Archer T9UH AC1900 (RTL8814AU). This was the one and only guide that did help. Thanks!
So I have been reading up and decided to purchase an afforable dongle with the RTL8812AU chipset. Only to realize that articles i read did not state that it will not work out of the box with kali. David, I want to thank you for your excellent video and save me from buyer's remorse! You have my sub! stay safe and all the best!
Everytime on linux I'm on the verge of giving up just because I don't understand why things work like this and I've no clue what I'm doing. Today you saved that! Thanks to you I was able to install my TP-Link AC1900
I got the pau09 and I have absolutely no clue what you just did to make the driver download comand just magically pop-up. You make great content and it's always very informative and helpful. If you could just show us (let's be real, probably just me) how to do that step in a little more detail it would really help alot. Kinda at a wall here.
YOU ARE A LEGEND, ive been trying to fix this for hours and i saw your video and the problem got fixed, just want to let you know that your work is highly appreciated
Thank you for creating this, I had to figure this out on my own almost 3 years ago when i first got into ethical hacking and I first started using Alfa adapters. This would have saved me an awful lot of time. I now recommend your videos along with Network Chucks when anyone in my University asks who to look at! I will be president of my University I.T. Society next teaching year, it would be great if we could link up with yourself and Chuck and maybe get some pre-recorded material to present to the students?
David, brother, you win the internet. I've been fighting with my USB wifi adapter for at least a month now, I just wish I knew about this channel before. Thanks!
Relevant today (Oct-2023) as well when running Kali in VirtualBox on an Ubuntu 23.04 host. Kali kernel here: Linux kali 6.5.0-kali2-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.5.3-1kali2 (2023-10-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux Used the aircrack-ng driver (both host and VM). Even though the host Linux system could access the card, the VM couldn;'t (even though lsusb in the VM could see it). These instructions absolutely solved the issue. I also selected Realtek 802.11n NIC USB filter in VirtualBox. This appeared from the beginning, but Kali wouldn't acknowledge the card until the instructions in the video were followed. More info: I did have to sudo modprobe 88XXau in the Kali VM after the driver install to get it working. lsmod from Kali VM: 88XXau 2269184 0 cfg80211 1339392 1 88XXau rfkill 40960 4 cfg80211
Thanks David! I wanted to start learning pen testing and I knew you would be my first stop for knowledge. I wanted to share that I went rogue and purchased the Alfa AWUS036ACS although it wasn't on your list. But I followed your steps anyway as I noticed the line that reads "sudo apt install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms" had xx in it so I thought they would apply to my adapter since mine has the 8811 chipset and to my surprise and pleasure it is working right now. Quick caveat though... I have not tested monitoring and injecting just yet. I'm moving in baby steps right now.
thank you very much David , always a big fan (almost 8Y Now) of your networking content , in my case i upgraded to 2021 /01 and it straight worked at the end of dkms installation. i simply rebooted the machine from there and it worked. I have been trying to get this thing to work for almost 4 months and finally its working, Credit to you Sir. really appreciated!
Hey David, i was watching this video on my laptop, and after actually seeing that it also works for me i logged into youtube just to like your video and comment this. i was searching long for any solution and you fixed it. A big thank you
David, Thank you for that video! I had WiFi adapter with this chipset laying in draw for year because I couldn't get to run so I stopped exploring Kali. But now it works! Thank again for such a good video! All the best
Thanks a lit david bombal i have literally frustated of 4 days and still my wifi adapter dosent work but seeing your video is just a miracle for me . Thanks a lot . You are really a genius
Thank you so much David, I was having this issue with a cheaper adapter Tenda U12 that works with the same 8812au chipset, your process worked by the letter!
David, Just got an Alfa 36ACH and quickly used this procedure to install it and get it working on a kali image installed as a VMWARE Fusion image on an older Macbook. Only thing I noticed is that as I followed your procedure after the dkms install at time 4:15 I did another reboot and the adapter started working with no need to get further adapter updates. The lsb_release of my image is kali 2021.2. Thanks for your fantastic channel and videos!
Yes sometimes the devices connected don't work out of the box. We have to install the drivers if it's not PnP detected by OS. Thanks for helping people who own one of these because sometimes the process is very frustrating, specially in Linux distros.
Hey David, my name is Davy from Belgium (W-Europe), i bought the Panda Pau06, i was following your video. Bud suddenly it started working buy it self?! Lucky wright. Bud you are the best man, am just starting with Hacking....learn already alot from you, thx!!
Thank you sir....You're the same age as my father and just like him you always do everything that I want at that particular moment....Thank you sir once again... God bless you sir...Love from India.
I went through this tutorial to get an alpha card working. I was using kali in a virtualbox VM. No matter what I did nothing worked. For giggles I had a laptop with kali and the wifi card worked straight away no problem with any drivers. It's an older laptop but still curious. Thanks for great content
Just installed and tested on a vm kali machine and this method is working thanks so much I been scratching my head for a few hrs trying to figure it out . Now I am trying to install it on my Oneplus3 with nethunter
So many of these adapters are "advertised" as working out of the box. Sadly this is not the case. With your awesome videos, I was able to get the AWUS036ACM running in my VM after spending a few hours trying to trouble shoot myself. Sometimes we just need a little help but adversity helps us learn. Thank you!
Wowwwww! DAVID BOMBAL you are just amazing!!!! I was trying to connect this from the past 2 months and you just solved it in 7 minutes.Thank you so muchh
thanks alot! Firstly it didnt work on my mac. So i tried it on my windows machine... Worked perfectly. After connecting it back to the mac it worked aswell. Much love from Germany

Agree, I’m getting mad as well, tried everything, I was able to get it working BUT never as monitored mode…..
This is because, for reasons unknown to me, the Linux kernel of Kali Linux 2024.2 (6.8.11-amd64) does not contain a /lib/modules/6.8.11-amd64/build file, which should point to a /usr/src/6.8.11-amd64 directory that likewise does not exist. To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
1. Run the command: sudo apt install linux-headers-6.8.11-amd64.
2. Reboot your system: sudo reboot.
3. Lastly, check whether your NIC is recognized by ifconfig.
Good luck!
@@truongx3nguyendo320 appreciate your feedback thanks, tried and the NIC is recognized as wlan1 now, good step forward! However no way I can set it to monitor mode… airmon-ng check kill and airmon-ng start wlan1 commands works but still the NIC still managed… arf…
This guy is so good. After a week of struggling, finally succeeded to make it work. Thank you so much
Well, this is the only video that worked for me using the Alfa1900. Thanks so much! You got a new subscriber.
I never ever take the time to come in on stuff but this really save the day for me bud I appreciate it!
I really enjoy watching your videos. I've always been tech savvy but I've recently started learning some basics and intermediate topics you cover on your channel.
You are a great teacher. Thank you for your service to us wanting to learn. 👍👍
Life Saver mate i watched whole youtube but useless after restarting kali there still wasnt showing my alfa adapter but after watching this everything works Perfectly Thanks a lot
I wasted days of my life before watching this video. I have TP-Link Archer T9UH AC1900 (RTL8814AU). This was the one and only guide that did help. Thanks!
So I have been reading up and decided to purchase an afforable dongle with the RTL8812AU chipset. Only to realize that articles i read did not state that it will not work out of the box with kali. David, I want to thank you for your excellent video and save me from buyer's remorse! You have my sub! stay safe and all the best!
Thank you, went down a rabbit hole on this one, David Bombal to the rescue as always, thanks a million
Its 2023 great video David , Works on a new install in 2023 on a RPI4 on Kali with the Alfa 036ACH usb-c wifi adapter . Thanks
Everytime on linux I'm on the verge of giving up just because I don't understand why things work like this and I've no clue what I'm doing. Today you saved that! Thanks to you I was able to install my TP-Link AC1900
I got the pau09 and I have absolutely no clue what you just did to make the driver download comand just magically pop-up.
You make great content and it's always very informative and helpful. If you could just show us (let's be real, probably just me) how to do that step in a little more detail it would really help alot. Kinda at a wall here.
YOU ARE A LEGEND, ive been trying to fix this for hours and i saw your video and the problem got fixed, just want to let you know that your work is highly appreciated
I’ve been searching for this solution on my MacBook Pro M1. And this actually finally worked. Thank you!!!!
Thank you for creating this, I had to figure this out on my own almost 3 years ago when i first got into ethical hacking and I first started using Alfa adapters. This would have saved me an awful lot of time.
I now recommend your videos along with Network Chucks when anyone in my University asks who to look at! I will be president of my University I.T. Society next teaching year, it would be great if we could link up with yourself and Chuck and maybe get some pre-recorded material to present to the students?
After a day of spinning my wheels, I found this video. Wifi adapter works like a charm!
David, brother, you win the internet. I've been fighting with my USB wifi adapter for at least a month now, I just wish I knew about this channel before. Thanks!
Its work on kali linux 02.24, thank you.
You are the best
Relevant today (Oct-2023) as well when running Kali in VirtualBox on an Ubuntu 23.04 host. Kali kernel here:
Linux kali 6.5.0-kali2-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.5.3-1kali2 (2023-10-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Used the aircrack-ng driver (both host and VM). Even though the host Linux system could access the card, the VM couldn;'t (even though lsusb in the VM could see it). These instructions absolutely solved the issue. I also selected Realtek 802.11n NIC USB filter in VirtualBox. This appeared from the beginning, but Kali wouldn't acknowledge the card until the instructions in the video were followed. More info:
I did have to sudo modprobe 88XXau in the Kali VM after the driver install to get it working.
lsmod from Kali VM:
88XXau 2269184 0
cfg80211 1339392 1 88XXau
rfkill 40960 4 cfg80211
Thanks David for this tutorial - I followed your steps and was able to install a new Alfa AWUS036AC adapter in Kali. Works perfect!
Glad it helped!
I remember trying to figure this out on my own like a year ago, took me over an hour!! Great video :D
Same. Hope this helps others :)
Thank u
Great vid. Info is still current. Got my adaptor running perfectly. Thanks, Dave!
Thanks David! I wanted to start learning pen testing and I knew you would be my first stop for knowledge. I wanted to share that I went rogue and purchased the Alfa AWUS036ACS although it wasn't on your list. But I followed your steps anyway as I noticed the line that reads "sudo apt install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms" had xx in it so I thought they would apply to my adapter since mine has the 8811 chipset and to my surprise and pleasure it is working right now. Quick caveat though... I have not tested monitoring and injecting just yet. I'm moving in baby steps right now.
thank you very much David , always a big fan (almost 8Y Now) of your networking content , in my case i upgraded to 2021 /01 and it straight worked at the end of dkms installation. i simply rebooted the machine from there and it worked.
I have been trying to get this thing to work for almost 4 months and finally its working, Credit to you Sir. really appreciated!
Hey David, i was watching this video on my laptop, and after actually seeing that it also works for me i logged into youtube just to like your video and comment this. i was searching long for any solution and you fixed it. A big thank you
David, Thank you for that video! I had WiFi adapter with this chipset laying in draw for year because I couldn't get to run so I stopped exploring Kali. But now it works! Thank again for such a good video! All the best
It worked brilliantly on kali linux both on VM and on raspberry pi 4 model B. Thanks alot David. Keep up the good work
Thanks a lit david bombal i have literally frustated of 4 days and still my wifi adapter dosent work but seeing your video is just a miracle for me . Thanks a lot . You are really a genius
Thank you so much David, I was having this issue with a cheaper adapter Tenda U12 that works with the same 8812au chipset, your process worked by the letter!
Glad it helped
amazing video. With the Alfa adapter i had , i couldn't connect it to Kali 2021.2. With your instructions, it is now properly working. Thank you sir!
Awesome 😍
Waiting for the TP link video, on how to change the v1 and v2 as mentioned in the previous video.
Kudos David 😍
I am also David
Here you go: ruclips.net/video/tYnjMiTTdms/видео.html
Thank you, it finally worked. Your video is the only one that explains all the steps correctly
Helpful and Useful. Thanks a lot David. Grettings from Spain! :D
Thank you a lot, I am new to the field and I was really struggling with my adapter. Keep up the good videos and tuts.
David,
Just got an Alfa 36ACH and quickly used this procedure to install it and get it working on a kali image installed as a VMWARE Fusion image on an older Macbook. Only thing I noticed is that as I followed your procedure after the dkms install at time 4:15 I did another reboot and the adapter started working with no need to get further adapter updates. The lsb_release of my image is kali 2021.2. Thanks for your fantastic channel and videos!
Thank you David I just ordered 1 of those adapters a couple of days ago following you has been great
Yes sometimes the devices connected don't work out of the box. We have to install the drivers if it's not PnP detected by OS.
Thanks for helping people who own one of these because sometimes the process is very frustrating, specially in Linux distros.
Thank you so much David. I was trying to figure this out myself, and your video gave me the resolve.
Hey David, my name is Davy from Belgium (W-Europe), i bought the Panda Pau06, i was following your video. Bud suddenly it started working buy it self?! Lucky wright. Bud you are the best man, am just starting with Hacking....learn already alot from you, thx!!
I'm learning more here than my pen testing class 🤣
Thank you sir....You're the same age as my father and just like him you always do everything that I want at that particular moment....Thank you sir once again... God bless you sir...Love from India.
Thank you David, your time and efforts are much appreciated,
Thank you for the tutorial, I was having some issues compiling, but after following your tutorial it is working now.
I keep coming back to this video evertime my Alpha adapter stops working after a Kali update... Thanks Bave!
Thank you so much
This was the most helpful video I found on the entire RUclips-world for my adapter
I went through this tutorial to get an alpha card working. I was using kali in a virtualbox VM. No matter what I did nothing worked. For giggles I had a laptop with kali and the wifi card worked straight away no problem with any drivers. It's an older laptop but still curious. Thanks for great content
Thank You Bombal, this is extremely helpful and worked right out of the box following the exact guide.
Thanks a bunch...it works perfectly! I don't think anyone explains it as well as you just demonstrated!
Just installed and tested on a vm kali machine and this method is working thanks so much I been scratching my head for a few hrs trying to figure it out .
Now I am trying to install it on my Oneplus3 with nethunter
Thanks a lot. I don't know how can i search this method on internet by own. You're a life saver.
So many of these adapters are "advertised" as working out of the box. Sadly this is not the case. With your awesome videos, I was able to get the AWUS036ACM running in my VM after spending a few hours trying to trouble shoot myself. Sometimes we just need a little help but adversity helps us learn. Thank you!
I just bought a adapter network AWUS036ACM and I don't known how to use it. Can you help me.
I've learned so much just from trying to fix errors
My favorite part about hacking with Kali is the requirement to hack Kali before you can actually start hacking.
Thanks so much for this. Your clear and concise videos on RUclips prompted me to purchase one of your Udemy courses.
OMG! MY WIFI IS WORKING NOW!!! I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR 3 OR 4 YEARS! THANKS DAVID!!!
Wowwwww! DAVID BOMBAL you are just amazing!!!! I was trying to connect this from the past 2 months and you just solved it in 7 minutes.Thank you so muchh

As always, great content! Thank you, David.
