Re: connecting to wireless network

[Bryan Duarte <bryan0731@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just saw this thread so I might be asking/stating something someone else already said but is there not a network manager on kali like nmcli for debian? If there is this is a very simple process.

// enable wifi

       nmcli radio wifi on

// list all wifi access points available

       nmcli dev wifi

// to connect to a network with encription

       nmcli dev wifi con "Cafe Hotspot 1" password caffeine name "My cafe"              

creates a new connection named "My cafe" and then connects it to

              "Cafe Hotspot 1" SSID using password "caffeine". This is mainly
              useful when connecting to "Cafe Hotspot 1" for the first time.
              Next time, it is better to use 'nmcli con up id "My cafe"' so
              that the existing connection profile can be used and no
              additional is created.

These and more are available at this link

is there any easier way?

There are some high-level programs, like wicd-curses.
Otherwise, I can tell you that it's a problem you'll solve
once and not have to worry about ever again.

Here's a good tutorial, 8 steps, but if the gumball comes
out you can be happy! I list the steps below.

The page explains more, but this summary comes at the end.
You should probably become root for this, e.g. sudo su.

1. See what your wireless device is:

root@kali:~# iw dev

2. Assuming it is wlan0, bring up that interface:

root@kali:~# ip link set wlan0 up

3. Look for wireless access point:

root@kali:~# iw wlan0 scan

4. Put the access point and passphrase into the config file:

root@kali:~# wpa_passphrase blackMOREOps >> /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

5. Connect to the access point:

root@kali:~# wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

6. Check that you are connected:

root@kali:~# iw wlan0 link

7. Ask for an IP address (I added the first command, to kill
existing dhclient processes).

root@kali:~# dhclient -x
root@kali:~# dhclient wlan0

8. Check your internet connectivity:

root@kali:~# ping 8.8.8.8

9. That is usually enough, but the article provides a
command to set a default route.

root@kali:~# ip route add default via 10.0.0.138 dev wlan0

I usually just make sure that ethernet interface is turned off:

root@kali:~# ifconfig eth0 down

Cheers, hope this helps.
