Initiate Wireless Card

Occasionally you may get a device busy or your card will not be loaded in BackTrack or Ubuntu. To get around this, I created the following shell script that:

• Powers down your device
• Kills all processes associated with your card
• Powers up your device
• Places your card in monitor mode
• Scans for networks
• Tests to see if injection is working

Code:

Select All

sudo iwconfig wlan1
sudo ifconfig wlan1 down
sudo iwconfig wlan1 mode monitor
sudo ifconfig wlan1 up
sudo iwconfig wlan1
sudo airodump-ng wlan1
sleep 30
 
dmesg| tail -20
sudo rmmod rtl8187
sudo rfkill block all
sudo rfkill unblock all
sudo modprobe rtl8187
sudo rfkill unblock all
sudo ifconfig wlan1 up
sudo airmon-ng start wlan1
sudo airmon-ng
sudo airodump-ng mon0
sudo ifconfig wlan1 down
sudo iwconfig wlan1 mode monitor
sudo ifconfig wlan1 up
sudo iwconfig wlan1
sudo aireplay-ng -9 wlan1

Note that if you download the attachment script that you might need to set permissions as 755 by chmod before you can run it as a script. E.g:

Code:

Select All

sudo chmod 755 '/root/Desktop/Aircrack-ng-SCRIPTS/Device-Busy.sh'

Also note that this script is for those who have an rtl8187 device, but it can be changed to other cards if required.
