Failed to enable monitor mode

[Idlefase]

Hello there,

I hereby inform you about a bug in fern wifi cracker.

After a succesfull launch of the program and detecting the wifi interface it fails to read the updated status of the interface. ( after it changes the state of the wifi card)

It would print that something went wrong while NetworkManager is succesfully killed.

Killing NetworkManager and changing the state with airmon-ng doesn' t help.

The specs of the os and hardware

• parrot linux 5.0.1 Electro Ara
• intel network card with opensource iwlwifi package
• packages fully updated with sudo parrot-upgrade

I would love to hear from you,

All the best,

Idlefase

I have the same problem.
Obviously a newbie problem.
But it kinda is driving me nuts trying to figure out with my stumbling.

I am running Ubuntu Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

For some reason my wifi card is wlp0s20f3 and the driver also is iwlwifi

Is it a compatibility problem with the iwlwifi?

So if anyone can give us newbies some pointers even though it is tiresome we would be grateful.

Did you manage to get it to work Idelfase?
I have concluded that my card supports monitor mode by

sudo ip link set wlp1s0 down
sudo iw wlp1s0 set monitor none
sudo ip link set wlp1s0 up

So it is not that.

Are there perhaps any alternatives to the default network manager (Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS) that I should try?

Anyone?

I switched to a other tool.that worked Just fine. Besides the os i used back then had several package related bugs.

I found a good solution:
ip link set wlan0 down
ip link set wlan0 name wlan0mon
run these two commands then run the app again and refresh
it worked for me

ip link set wlan0 down
ip link set wlan0 name wlan0mon
ip link set wlan0mon up
