Airodump help…

[m1cha3l]

before you do the injection test use the command

airodump-ng -c 6 --bssid 00:11:95:9D:E0:7E rausb0

this will isolate your ap and stop channel hopping

That works, but before i would want to start airodump i would still want to check if i am close enough to the ap to get the 4 way hand shake...

i did find this, i found it quite umm interesting and i think i am going to give it a go... check it out

That dose look cool... perhaps when i get a new wireless card ill look into getting one that will work with that... Don't think that cantenna will work with my little usb one...

I think i might have a go at making them... could be fun

Being able to successfully inject to the AP will not actually tell you if you are close enough to capture a 4-way WPA handshake. The reason is that even though the test will confirm that you are able to hear the AP as well as inject to it, it will not tell you if a client, often using a weak internal wireless card, will be close enough for you to be able to capture his side of the handshake as well.

Also, have you tried to inject to the AP, for example performing a fake-auth attack with aireplay-ng, instead of using the test command?

It is, and they actually boost both the signal strength and reception quality quite nicely as well.

Same problem here, Linksys wusb54g ralink rt73 - put it on monitor mode, started airodump and no networks found, even having backtrack 3. Adapter is not faulty, works perfectly ok with kismac.
