Why do you want to change the mac?
Not your WEP?
Yeah it is important to know as it will have influence on the way to go.
I am trying to crack a WEP.
Airmon-ng gives me two interfaces
wifi0 - madwifi-ng
ath0 - madwifi-ng VAP (parent: wifi0)
Now I want to change the mac before I start, so do I airmon-ng stop wifi0 or airmon-ng stop ath0 ? And ifconfig wifi0 down or ifconfig ath0 down ? Then I do airmon-ng start wifi0.
Anyway say I dont want to fake the mac and try it without it.
When I do airodump-ng ath0 I get
ioctl(SIOCSIWMODE) failed: Invalid argument.....Make sure RFMON is enabled.... (too much to copy)
Airodump-ng wifi0 brings up just a blank console.
I don't know where to go from here, I think I am just doing something wrong. I would appreciate any help, thank you.

I just want to spoof my mac before I crack the WEP, just incase. I tried to skip that for now, but it still wont work.
Still not answered, is it your WEP or one you are trying it with you found being around?

Sorry KMdave I just understood what you meant. Yea it's my WEP. I saw the macchanger and I wanted to try it. I tried skipping that step since it's not that important right now, but i'm still having problems.
Here is what I did:
I tried using SpoonWEP but it took forever to collect the IV's so I gave up on that.Code:bt ~ # airmon-ng Interface Chipset Driver wifi0 Atheros madwifi-ng ath0 Atheros madwifi-ng VAP (parent: wifi0) bt ~ # airmon-ng stop ath0 Interface Chipset Driver wifi0 Atheros madwifi-ng ath0 Atheros madwifi-ng VAP (parent: wifi0) (VAP destroyed) bt ~ # ifconfig wifi0 down bt ~ # macchanger --mac 00:11:22:33:44:55 wifi0 Current MAC: 00:35:21:b2:91:af (unknown) Faked MAC: 00:11:22:33:44:55 (Cimsys Inc) bt ~ # airmon-ng start wifi0 Interface Chipset Driver wifi0 Atheros madwifi-ng ath0 Atheros madwifi-ng VAP (parent: wifi0) (monitor mode enabled) bt ~ # airodump-ng ath0 -------- Without changing mac: bt ~ # airodump-ng ath0 ioctl(SIOCSIWMODE) failed: Invalid argument ARP linktype is set to 1 (Ethernet) - expected ARPHRD_IEEE80211, ARPHRD_IEEE80211_FULL or ARPHRD_IEEE80211_PRISM instead. Make sure RFMON is enabled: run 'airmon-ng start ath0 <#>' Sysfs injection support was not found either. ________
I'm pretty sure my card is compatable because I looked it up. But does this mean I can't do packet injections?
Why does my post keep getting burried into the 8th page all the time, I'm sure someone here is smart enough to firgure this out![]()
As am I, yet I can't help thinking you tacked the "my own network" thing onto the end. But hey, I'm probably not one of them so...
In case I am wrong, I will direct you to take a closer look at your interfaces, in my case (EeePC 701 + Atheros), the following commands are enough:
I don't put an ifconfig in there anywhere.Code:airmon-stop ath0 airmon-start wifi0
Still not underestimating the power...
There is no such thing as bad information - There is truth in the data, so you sift it all, even the crap stuff.
To be successful here you should read all of the following.

Ok I dont want to start and stop my wifi. When I do airodump-ng ath0 no wireless networks show up at all. Would anyone be willing to help me with this on an instant messanger or a chat?
number 1 i have an athheros chipset too,and the way i've found to put it in monitor mode is the following commands:
1.wlanconfig ath0 destroy
2.iwconfig
3.wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode monitor
4.iwconfig
The last one shows me that ath0 is in monitor mode and active!
I wish it will work to you too.
since i have problem with aircrack finding the injected packets i wish good luck to both of us!
