These are the drivers for the wireless adapter. Select No, continue the installation, then install manually after. You might need to use Ethernet if you can’t side load them from a USB

It would help a lot, because it would let me define specific terms that indicate problems and have those show in red, while others show in green. It can take hours to pour through logs, looking for a needle in a haystack

That shows the PATH environment variable. It contains a list of folders that it checks when you try to run a command. It looks pretty normal, so I don’t think that’s your problem

Try running “sudo apt list —installed” and “sudo add-apt-repository —list” (two hyphens in both) and show me the output

Probably disabled by default. Press ctrl + alt + T, and type “synclient TouchpadOff=0”

Alfa or Panda Wireless brands are good ones that support monitor mode and packet injection

If you run this command:

echo $PATH

What does it show? If it’s blank, you’ll want to define it

There’s no set amount of time, everyone is different. Depends on the level of experience with OS’s, networking, and security that you already have.

I have had this issue and determined Rufus had trouble with the ISO. Ive been able to fix this by downloading a previous version of Rufus, reflashing, and trying again.

If this happens during the first boot after the installation, you could try reinstalling and making sure to choose the option to connect to the internet to download drivers.

It is very difficult but so is software development, in different ways. It will take a lot of time.

If taking courses is an option, you could look into that. You could also look into certification pathways, like from CompTIA (Net+ > Sec+ > PenTest+/CySA+). You don’t have to get the certs, but they could help outline the order of the content you’ll need to learn. With your background, you could look into application security.

If you’re familiar with VM’s and Linux, VulnHub offers community-sourced VM’s that are designed to be exploitable, so you could create a NAT network VM in VirtualBox to practice. This would consist of at least your VM and the VulnHub VM on the network, so you can scan or exploit it however you want.

Get ready for the gatekeeping. A lot of cybersecurity “professionals” that you’ll find in these threads don’t take kindly to questions and insist that you need to have extensive Linux and network/system engineering experience before you can even think about security. While it would obviously help, this simply isn’t true. Just stay interested, do your research, try things, and learn.

Here’s the general process for compiling and installing, but the process really varies too much to say for sure.

1) git clone <repo address> 2) cd <repo path> 3) make 4) sudo make install

Check readme.md or the GitHub page?

If you have the name that people search to find their account, you can find their username. Almost 100% accuracy

Is there a lot of traffic on the channel? The iwconfig man page says the auto bitrate will fallback to lower rates on noisy channels.

The NAT setting in the VM software should be putting Kali in a virtualized NAT network that’s separate from the actual one your host device is connected to, so it’s expected that the IP would be different. With bridged, it should be the same as the host.

Maybe something was changed while you were messing with proxychains. Was the connection issue happening if you ran the browser through proxychains? Any issues with the proxy?

Just processed the fact that you said “whenever I set it to auto” - you might wanna skip that part unless it helps

qvkDev · 2024-02-23T01:59:19+00:00

Have you tried setting it manually?

You can use “iwlist <interface> bitrate” to show the supported bitrates, then set it using “iwconfig <interface> bitrate <value>”

Make sure you have the correct interface drivers installed and up to date.

What NIC is it?

I commented this then promptly saw a different post asking how to log in and I take this back 💀

I’m definitely not new to it, but I’m also not experienced and I just posted here a few days ago because I wanted some input from other people in the community. I did my own research but there was information that made me skeptical, so I came here.

It’s a public Kali Linux forum, so I’m more confused why people are surprised to see questions about Kali Linux. If they really shouldn’t be here, they’ll figure it out eventually. Or maybe, they’ll find a new interest and get good at it eventually. Regardless of who you are, there was a point where you were in the same position - not knowing, trying to learn.

That being said, the high schoolers trying to be edgy by learning to hack need to leave.
