There are great instructions in this thread:
forums.remote-exploit.org/showthread.php?t=1268

for automating DHCP and NIC config. (Make sure you read the whole thread as there's a revised version of the script part way through and a lot of questions are answered).

dead link, anyone know of a way to automate it?

Hello!

First of all, thank you for this excellent topic.

But I have a problem, it gives me the following errors:

I put my card into monitore mode; Then I try:

iwconfig wlan0 key KEY

Following error:

Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A):
SET failed on device wlan0; Operation not supported

I try:

ifconfig wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 key KEY

The same.

Then I tried:

iwconfig wlan0 ap @macAP

Following error:

Interface wlan0 doesn't support MAC addresses
wlan0 Interface doesn't support MAC addresses
Error for wireless request "Set AP Address" (8B14à):
invalid argument "mac@AP"

Have you an idea of the problem?

Thank you!

First of all what type of card do you have? Second did you check the wiki for your card? Find out if it is a supported card or not.

And if your card is supported did you try to connect to the internet with it and see if that works before trying do injection and other things with it.
Do that and then post back the results and then we can offer better help.
Thanks

Come on man don't just post on every thread to get some sort of artificial post count or whatever. At least offer some help or something
not just the above dribble right after someone posts for help.

Actually i post in the threads i am interested in, if you check the forum i am not in
every thread, only the threads where there are problems i know i might be able to
solve or threads i am interested in and if i think it's good then i post.

On other forums you get something called "rep" or reputation if people clicks a little
reputation button meaning the person think you did something good to deserve that.
Post counts on the other hand is not something that shows how good you are, infact
it just shows how much you post or how active you are.

Seeing as you have 3 posts per day, meaning you are either choosing not to reply so
much or you're not very active. I see a lot of threads every day on this forum where
people need help to do things or fix things. I have 8 posts per day which might be a
little too much.

On my own forum i have 5.5 posts per day so that isn't so bad. Posting in a thread
and giving your oppinion is good. But posting in every thread there is only saying like:
"wow this is good" all the time or not making constructive and intelligent replies is
the same as spamming which is not accepted on any forums.

And if you want to find more information about me then you can allways google me
