Problems running/installing basic modules

Hi alexl83,
FruityWiFi is very easy to understand after you play with it a little bit. The code is simple and is mainly using well known tools ( FruityWiFi is mainly a framework and a wrapper ). There is a lot of info on the forum,
I created the forum to make it easy for people to track issue and solutions, and also I'm always replaying to questions as soon as I can.

I spend a lot of my own time building this project, and It will be awesome if people start contributing to it at least with documentation and tutorials.
FruityWiFi will be always open source, I do this because is fun and because I use it for my own purposes (projects, research, whatever..)
but I don't get any benefit releasing this project more than the fun. I don't sell products, I don't sell a brand, nothing.

The installers are easy to understand and they are doing all the job, the user only needs to run the installers. They only need to have a compatible/tested system and the supported hardware.
Linux distros changes versions, codenames, packages on repositories, so time to time some adjustments are needed on the installers, but it is very easy to spot doing some extra research, or asking on the forum.

well.. you can try this:

Mana is on Kali linux repositories and you can run

apt-get install fruitywifi-module-mana

If you want to install it from GitHub you need to change a line on the installer. Check the NetHunter thread, you will find the solution there under MINOR CHANGES.
fruitywifi.boards.net/thread/111/fruitywifi-v2-4

again, you can always ask on the forum. I'm always trying to help.

Hi alexl83,
No prob at all.

There is a change on the main installer that removes and option on dnsmasq config file.

edit this file:

/usr/share/fruitywifi/conf/dnsmasq.conf
and remove/comment the option server=

That option (with that setup) is not supported anymore by DNSmasq. That is why I created FruityDNS to replace the DNS server option provided by DNSmasq
To switch from DNSmasq as DNS server to FruityDNS you need to modify the option from AP module on tab DHCP-DNS

Note: if you want to fix the installer (install-FruityWifi.sh) the same change that you performed on Mana and Karma installer is required.

let me know
regards,

OK, go to AP module and check if AP + DHCP + DNS are enabled (green)

Note: be sure that you don't have any instance of DNSmasq running before to start the AP, and also Network-Manager can give you some problems (kill both to test)


Tail the dnsmasq log to get more info:

tail -F /usr/share/fruitywifi/logs/dnsmasq.log
You can also refresh the tab LogDHCP on AP module.

before to start using Mana and Karma modes, check if Hostapd mode is working ok.
You can change the modes from MENU/Config

Be sure that the IN and OUT interfaces are OK
(IN is the AP interface, OUT is the internet interface)

regards,

Check the previous comment about DNSmasq and Network-Manager (kill them)
Also check that the wireless interfaces that you are using on FruityWiFi are not present on

/etc/network/interfaces
regards,

- re-check network-manager

/etc/init.d/network-manager stop

- start AP module
- verify that DNSmasq is now running
- tail dnsmasq log

You need to have some events on the log, if not, FruityWiFi DNSmasq instance is not running.

Note: I just re-read your initial post. I never used FruityWiFi on VirtualBox. When I tried for first and last time on VirtualBox it was 2 years ago, and it wasn't working. It works fine on VMware Fusion.

regards,

If DNSmasq is not running then there is a problem there, as DNSmasq is the DHCP server (and the default DNS server).

regards,

Shouldn't AP module start it automatically, or am I supposed to enable dnsmasq from init ?
