Eee PC and Backtrack 3

So my Eee pc was laying dormant on guitar amp for a bit and I decided that it was high time for me to do something useful with it. Here I am with an awesome wee bit of kit and I'm not doing anything with it. Sacrilege!

So I installed Backtrack 3 to my SD Card (after laughing at people selling pre-installed cards on Ebay for £19!) and it booted up fine.

So after firing up airmon-ng and kismet I noticed a slight problem, it wouldn't inject. So here's the solution!

Open up a Terminal by clicking once on the Terminal Icon near the bottom left of the display. A text window will open, now enter the commands below.

Type everything after the # and press enter.

# airmon-ng stop ath0
# airmon-ng start wifi0
# airodump-ng ath0

When you find a channel you want to pay closer attention to, press CTRL-C and type.

# airodump-ng ath0 –-channel 11

If you want to save a traffic dump as testcap, CTRL-C again and type
# airodump-ng ath0 --channel 11 -w testcap

So yeah, if that's helped you any, feel free to leave a comment.

I'll be posting more often on wifi cracking and bluetooth fun!
