RPi & Kali 2.01 & FruityWifi 2.2 issues Sept 19, 2015 3:27:43 GMT

Hi there. For the past 2 weeks I'd been trying to work with FruityWifi in every way and every combination my hardware would allow me, and had no luck.

1. First steps:

- FruityWifi FAQ and docs, check.
- Hostapd FAQ and docs, check.
- Airmong-ng FAQ and docs, check.

2. Hardware:

- 2 x Raspberry Pi 2
- 2 x Raspberry Pi B
- 1 x ALFA AWUS036H (Realtek RTL8187L)
- 1 x ALFA AWUS036NH (Ralink RT3070)
- 1 x ALFA AWUS036NEH (Ralink RT2870/3070)
- 1 x ALFA AWUS036NHA (Atheros AR9271)
- 1 x TP-LINK WN722N (Atheros AR9271)
- 1 x DLINK Powered USB HUB (tried every wifi dongle, with or without powered USB hub)
- SD/SDHC: 64gb class10 Kingston, 32gb class10 Sandisk, 16gb class10 Kingston, 8gb class10 Kingston...
- RPi's powered by 5V-2A wall-chargers and/or Anker Astro Pro 14400mAh
- Also, I had tried with different USB cables, for dongles and RPi's power connections.

3. Linux distro:

- Kali Linux 2.01 (Armel for RPi 1B & Armhf for RPi 2; booted from scratch every time, expanded partition, update && dist-upgrade, installed FruityWifi from repo's and/or from github). Keep in mind that this happened with every combination of hardware I've got: every RPi's, with any wifi dongle, USB powered or not, with AC or battery pack, with every SD card I've got....etc.

3.1. If installed from repo's: Mana & Karma works...for like about 10 minutes. After that, anything could happen: 1) Association with AP's is OK but no dhcp leases; 2) You can see AP's SSID and Mana or Karma "ssid tricks" but it wouldn't let you associate; or 3) DHCP leases would stop after client nº 7 (or 8th).

3.2. If installed from github: Mana or Karma won't make it since they complain about missing "libnl-1". Regardless, If you satisfy "libnl-1" and "libnl-dev" dependencies from debian wheezy, Mana & Karma will compile and start, but they will produce same results as above. OR, even if installed from github, you could install Karma & Mana modules from repo (satisfying with libnl-3-*, etc.); but once again...same results.

So...Again: I'd tried all hardware combinations and got same results every time. Anyone going through this? I am willing to reproduce any hardware & software scenario and post error logs for any combination.

Thanks in advance

Hi fedg,

AWUS036H (Realtek RTL8187L), AWUS036NH (Ralink RT3070), AWUS036NEH (Ralink RT2870/3070) will not work with Hostapd, Hosted-Mana or Hostapd-Karma.
m3m0r3x is maintaining a thread about the supported dongles: fruitywifi.boards.net/thread/59/suported-wlan-adapter

For your Atheros chipsets, (in my experience with that chipset) you need to plug the dongle to a powered USB hub, or it will stop working after a few minutes.

Note: FruityWiFi is a framework/interface to interact with system tools and scripts. The core tools are software installed on the system, so you can test them using only FruityWiFi config files without using the GUI.

Here you have a walk-through that you can use to test your setup/hardware:

# RUN this before each test, and check that you don't have any dhcp client running

service network-manager stop

killall dnsmasq
killall hostapd
killall dhclient

iptables -F
iptables -X
iptables -t nat -F
iptables -t nat -X
iptables -t mangle -F
iptables -t mangle -X
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT

TEST: HOSTAPD

dhclient eth0

#check that you can access internet (ping, wget, whatever...)

ifconfig wlan0 up
ifconfig wlan0 10.0.0.1

/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

# go to config folder
cd /usr/share/fruitywifi/conf/

# check the config file first [dnsmasq.conf]: interface, listen-address, etc...
dnsmasq -C dnsmasq.conf

# check that the config file first [hostapd.conf]: interface, bssid, etc...
hostapd hostapd.conf

# use a mobile, laptop or whatever to connect to your new access point

TEST: HOSTAPD-MANA

dhclient eth0

#check that you can access internet (ping, wget, whatever...)

ifconfig wlan0 up
ifconfig wlan0 10.0.0.1

/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

# go to config folder
cd /usr/share/fruitywifi/conf/

# check the config file first [dnsmasq.conf]: interface, listen-address, etc...
dnsmasq -C dnsmasq.conf

# check that the config file first [hostapd.conf]: interface, bssid, etc...

/usr/share/fruitywifi/www/modules/mana/includes/hostapd /usr/share/fruitywifi/www/modules/mana/includes/conf/hostapd.conf

# use a mobile, laptop or whatever to connect to your new access point.

TEST: HOSTAPD-KARMA

dhclient eth0

#check that you can access internet (ping, wget, whatever...)

ifconfig wlan0 up
ifconfig wlan0 10.0.0.1

/bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

# go to config folder
cd /usr/share/fruitywifi/conf/

# check the config file first [dnsmasq.conf]: interface, listen-address, etc...
dnsmasq -C dnsmasq.conf

# check that the config file first [hostapd.conf]: interface, bssid, etc...

/usr/share/fruitywifi/www/modules/karma/includes/hostapd /usr/share/fruitywifi/www/modules/karma/includes/conf/hostapd.conf

# use a mobile, laptop or whatever to connect to your new access point.

regards,

Thanks for the advice and sorry for my late report. I've tried the tests you suggested and karma/mana worked like a charm. The problem was that from the client side I couldn't get internet access while the host actually had a connection. So probably I am missing some IPTABLES rule to make it happen. All this over an RPi2 with kali 2.0.1 and a TP-LINK WN722N powered by usb hub. BTW, despite I haven't saved the logs, I recall that going through the installation process of all the modules using the script it complained about nl80211 support. Which makes me remember that kali doesn't support "libnl1" anymore or it has replaced it with something else.

Anyhow, I am going to try (again) same setup but from a fresh raspbian image. The problem I had before with raspbian was that, despite changing permissions on /etc/sudoers.d/fruitywify, no modules would turn on.

Thanks again

Therefore karma e mana will not work. I just switched back to kali 1.0. Meanwhile I will figure out the patch needed for the 2.0.

Those are very very old. ( I will remove them ) Just install raspbian, and then use the installation script. regards,

Cool! Currently I try to migrate FruityDisplay for the display-O-Tron. When its done and work well i will take it on GitHub.. Cheers Chris
