Hi xda-mates. In this post I'm gonna show you, How to get wifi monitor mode on your device without external wifi adapter. If you don't know what is "wifi mode" goto wikipedia. The package consist from drivers, some wifi tools and aircrack.

Monitor Mode getting steps:
1. You have to root your device.
2. Flash CM 9.1.0.
3. Check out, your using originally cwm kernel included in the firmware you flashed.
4. Download my package(the password is my nickname).
5. Extract it to your sd.
6. Open up the terminal.
7. Type
Code:
su
cd pathToYourSd
sh install.sh
it will simply install all stuff to your system.
8. Type 'wmon on' in the terminal to activate monitor mode (type 'wmon off' to activate managed mode).
That's all. You have installed all that you needed, activated monitor mode and now you can use aircrack.

Troubleshooting:
Problem:
Code:
cannot find wireless tools, exiting!
Solution:
a) You must execute wifi tools (aircrack also) from root directory!
Code:
cd /
b) Check out of iwconfig, iwmulticall, iwpriv existance in /data/local/bin/.

Problem:
Code:
insmod: can't insert 'dhd.ko': invalid module format
error: SIOCGIFFLAGS (No such device)
Solution:
a) Make sure you are in supported rom and kernel.
b) Check out the file existance in /data/wmon/ (3 file).

GREAT!

Thanks man! i was waiting for someone to go into this much detail, but does the wmon siyah mean that i can dualboot CM 9 and w/e rom ( in my case alliance) and get this to work? my problem with this before is that nothing would happen after my wifi is disabled and module is "loaded", also what do you mean run aircrack from the root dir? like root of the sd?

P.S. Testing now on the Galaxy S2 LTE version ( Rogers)

Use iwconfig wlan0 instead of airmon-ng wlan0. And make sure that you are in the root directory.

Code:
su
cd /
wmon on
iwconfig wlan0

# wmon on
Original module loaded. disabling wifi
LOADING MODULE
insmod: cant insrt dhd.ko : file exists error : SI0CIFFLAGS (no such device)

then i tried iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 No such device

so i checked iwconfig to see whats up
and my Wlan0 isn't there.. hmmm

Edit: I typed in wmon on and it responded with LOADING MODULE, then i did iwconfig wlan0 and it showed it in manage mode, what next?

Don't pay attention to "managed mode" lettering, you are in monitor mode. To test monitor mode working type 'airodump-ng wlan0' and you will see that everything works perfect.

Mode inyecction?

Thx for answer me, i did decide install another time backtrack in my sgs2(i removed :(), but i want crack wpa without brute force or diccionaries, because it is imposible.


¿Is there some way to crack a wpa without brute force or diccionaries? ¿Do i could implement rainbow tables in sgs2, or is there some way to hashing with aircrack?

Thx for your time,

Thx for your time,

Aircrack-ng is included to the package you installed. Just type aircrack-ng after switching wifi monitor mode

from a day to other, i can't use this

i didn't use somedays, and now i can't use, it is appears as delete, or simplely, not work. I did install applications in my sgs2.
But now i can't run it. I tried reinstall, but always put in the output:

"wmon on" not found
"wmod on" not found
"wmod monitor" not found

i did that in /, and i executed the install.sh in sdcard as you said in your post.

In internet i not found nothing, and i know programming bash a little, i tried solved gave wmon bit executable but is useless, i follow all steps rights as you said. The only one thing interesant when i execute install that is the output:

Installing Driver...
OK
Installing Utils...
OK
Creating Symlink...
link failed FIle exists
link failed File exists
//I think here is the fail of my steps, i think that make reference to /data/wmon, but i am not sure, i checked that files, but i can't solved
OK
Fixing Permissions...
OK
Temporary FIles Cleaning...
OK
Installation COmpleted! To start WiFi monitor mode just type : "wmod monitor"

I am sry if i am heavy, thx for your time.

This is pretty cool, I managed to make some progress, however got error at authorization stage at line:

aireplay-ng -1 0 -a MAC wlan0

Waiting for beacon frame (BSSID: .......) on channel -1
Couldn't determine current channel for wlan0, you should either force the operation with --ignore-negative-one or apply kernel patch

same error with injection

I'm pretty new to linux stuff, is there any way to bypass this?

Another thing is that I can't use wi-fi after using monitor mode, even if i shut it down (wmon off) until phone restart, is that alright?

Thanks in advance, and keep doing the great job! :D

I've to correct my scripts, but don't wait for it. Just type "export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH". You can also add this to your terminal emulator as launch commands or create a script in autostart folder:
Code:
su
cd /system/etc/init.d/
touch 17env
echo "#!/system/bin/sh\nexport PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH\nexit 0" > 21env

Where is this Terminal autostart folder? Also, I tried executing the first command and it gave me nothing but a "> " line. What should I do?

Hi guy,
first of all, thanks for your great job.

I've seen as you have uploaded a wmon_siyah4.5.1 version... does it work with that siyah version?

I have that kernel (and that version), and I get the error:
Code:
insmod: can't insert 'dhd.ko': invalid module format
error: SIOCGIFFLAGS (No such device)

just after run 'wmon on'.

Can you help me, please?

thanks
