Can't connect to wireless network using wpa_supplicant - OSWA-Assistant

mdce4 · 09-30-2016, 08:07 AM

Hello,
I have been trying to work with OSWA-Assistant. Its a version of linux used for wireless auditing. I'm having trouble getting my wifi usb adapter to connect to my wireless network. I have not gotten anywhere with Google, and I'm about at the limit of my abilities. Any ideas you have would be great.

I have the Alfa AWUS036H wireless USB adapter. OSWA will recognize the wifi adapter, and it shows up as wlan0 if I do "iwconfig". However, no matter what i do, I can't get it to connect to my wifi network. I am running WPA2-PSK [AES] as the security option on my wireless router.

I keep getting a "Segmentation fault", and "failed to set GTK to the driver" among other things. I can get you a screen shot of all the results if you want them.

Here is the command that i run.
wpa_supplicant -Dmadwifi -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd

Here is a copy of my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:
#do not remove or modify the next 4 lines
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicantctrl_interface_group=0ap_scan=1fast_reauth=1
#select 1 or 2 below, depending on your AP configuration
eapol_version=1

network={
ssid="monkey1" scan_ssid=1 key_mgmt=WPA-PSK proto=WPA2
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP
psk="........."}

Is there any mistake that you can see on this configuration?

Thanks

By the way, this is my first post on here, so just wanted to say its good to meet you all.

hi

i run it this way on arch

wpa_supplicant -D nl80211 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i wlp2s0 -B
after this run dhclient.
my script

Code:

#!/bin/bash

sudo wpa_supplicant -D nl80211 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i wlp2s0 -B
dhclient

i newer use madwifi driver and only that i found that worked for me is this nl80211 driver

I tried it with nl80211 driver, but I got error message that it does not support that driver. If I put in the command without any driver at all, i.e.

wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd

it starts scanning for available networks. A list of available wireless networks in my area comes up, but then i get message
"no suitable AP found" for each one of them. It skips right over the network that i configured in wpa_supplicant.conf, giving the message: "skip - no WPA/RSN IE". I can disable this scan by changing "ap_scan" from 1 to 0.
In this case, I see this message:
"could not read SSID from driver". I still have no luck either way.

I have tried this on 2 different wireless networks and it does the same thing on both of them. I guessing its still a driver issue. Any other ideas that I could try?

try this

-Dnl80211,wext

and try remove proto=WPA2

my wpa_supplicant.conf

Code:

network={
ssid="670746 2"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="...."
}

and my wireless use TKIP+AES

It keeps give me an error for unsupported driver on that n180211 when I tried it. I think if I can somehow get that nl80211 driver installed on my system maybe it would work.

I have the driver CD for the Alfa AWUS036H.
I was able to mount the CD on the linux system, but it won't compile the Makefile for some reason. I got this error: "make: /lib/modules/2.6.19/build: no such file or directory. Stop" This directory does seem to exist, so I don't know why it does this.

Is there a package I can download with this driver? Maybe that would be easier.

hy,

that error when compailing make indicate missing linux headers so you need linux headers for your os.
try search linux headers for your distribution and try make again.

post after that we will figur out somehow

nl not n1

try enter sudo wifi-menu see is it installed and try connect that way. is alpha only card on your pc
