Wireless Networks

We will begin by gathering data about wireless networks around us.

This can be done with a number of different programs. I'll use Aircrack's airodump-ng utility.

Start by putting the wireless card in monitor mode:

iwconfig # without wireless card pluged in
iwconfig # with wireless card plugged in
ifconfig wlan1 down 
ifconfig wlan1 up

Now begin monitoring, and dump information from the wireless card:

airmon-ng start wlan1
airodump-ng wlan1 -w output_file

In another window, running a script that queries the database and shows its contents

Display script is as follows:
