If you want to see the how to install Kali Linux in Virtual Box, you can view here Step by step enable the network in Kali Linux: This is the preview of my ip address before I make some change. Open your Kali Linux Virtual Box like this.
Click “Devices” menu and choose “ Network Adapters“. Now the new window to set up the Kali Linux Virtual Box will open. By default the network adapter is attached to NAT. You need to change it to Bridged adapter. The next step you need to choose which network interface you want to bridged to. If your network interface have more than one (e.g: 2 LAN port, 1 wireless, etc) it will show here. Just choose which network interface you want to bridged to.

Click “Devices” menu and choose “Network Adapters“. I install kali linux in virtual box. But it did not detect my wifi. My host O/S is win 10. How i use my wifi in kali. In the virtual box i create a kali linux virtual machine.my laptop has a wifi card. VMs don't always play well with usb devices.
Because the one connected to internet is my wireless card, then I choose wireless network adapter. After I make the change, I get the IP address directly from the network not from the Virtual Box adapter. Here is the result.
Notes: Your default wireless network cannot be used while you are using Virtual Box. If you want to use wireless network in your Virtual Box, you can use the wireless usb card, then the virtual machine can detect it.
Hope you found it useful 🙂.
Following recommended USB Wireless cards appears to be working for Kali Linux (i.e. Monitor, injection etc.).Note.
These are not in any type of order.Note. A common problem in pentest distro such as Kali or BackTrack Linux is when users trying to use a card which is not supported or there just isn’t a supported driver. Most of the following cards are priced below $50USD and they take care of a massive headache and saves time to troubleshoot driver issues rather than investing time to actually do something. With each update these makeshift fixes seems to break old drivers and you end up doing the whole thing again and again. A good card will allow you to crack Wifi on the fly or at least make it easier. Some examples are:. This whole drama goes away when you get one of the recommended usb wireless cards.
Then again, I got few different Wifi cards and I managed to make all of them work with Kali Linux including injection and monitor mode etc. It really depends on the user and type of card. This guide will possibly help someone who just got an unsupported card and/or tired of wasting time troubleshooting existing card and would rather spend some $$ to have this problem go away once and for all.

Detachable antenna (SMA). IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n. 300Mbps. WEP, WPA/WPA2, WPS. USB 2.0 Update: I should add that the Rosewill RNX-N600UBEs they’re selling at Amazon come with Ralink 5572s now so someone looking for a plug-and-play option will be disappointed, and frustrated, and praying that someone will see this comment on a half-year old article and give them a little help. Comment:So unless someone else can verify that Ralink RT3572 was replaced by Ralink 5572, I am marking Rosewill RNX-N600UBE incompatible. Thanks, for the post.
I am trying to hack my own 802.11n Belkin Router or My old Belking 54g running dd-wrt to see if I can get the passwords I made up and have them locked down with. I am using a Toshiba Satellite with Kali Linux Live 32bit Disk.
I will let you know how it goes once I get going. To Start I was wodering if the wifi card in the toshiba was compatible with Kali Linux but I now know it is because i see all the networks around us. I guess it uses an intel card for wifi but i may have to look it up to get exact model # I am a wedding photographer and use a lot of band width on my uploads. My websites: link removed (Portfolio) link removed (Free Wedding Websites, Services, Help, Forum, Q&A link removed (Classified Ads Never Expire Unless Deleted). Thank you so much, UUI. I struggled with this for many days (almost to the point of suicide), but then read your helpful comment and (as if by magic), had success! It really works!
I’m so eager to show other people my discovery, but I must give you the credit. At some point or another, we’ve all been there. How much time and wasted effort could be saved if more caring and insightful people (like yourself) would just take the briefest moment to extend a hand to others as you have done. I also want to praise your honesty. Too often, the commenter seeks under-handed ways of trying to impress their peers.
You, otoh, simply “tell it like it is” without the usual politics and divisive remarks totally refreshing! I do have one clarification, though; what happens if you change your position? What I mean is, “What if I eat the other side?” Do you know if that will still work? Hi blackMORE Ops, I am trying to get into this world and your website is the most clear Ive found.
I have one question (here, I have thousands of questions): Eventhough you said there isnt a better card, I guess thee should be differences between them, specially about range issues. The alfa one looks to have 800mW, so makes that the most powerful one speaking about range? Some friends recommended me to get directional antennas instead of omnidirectional ones, but as far as I know, I can plug those directional antennas into the alfa one to increase its range right?
Thanks in advance and go on with this awesome website! Hi Unkim, Thank you. Amazon got bunch of Directional Antennas which looks promising. In my mind, Directional Antenna’s would be best as you can pin point and isolate signals. But if you can get a powerful enough omnidirectional antenna, then I guess it doesn’t matter anymore. At the end, it comes down to how good the hardware is and how subtle the signal is.
I’ll add a link soon when I have some spare time. I’ve read about people who got Rapsberry Pi setup with Omnidirectional antenna and drive around the neighborhood to capture handshake packets. Don’t know if those stories are true or just hoaxes, (or legal in most countries?) but you can understand it is certainly a possibility.
Thanks again for your comment and kind words. I try my best.
Feel free to register and post your own articles if you feel like. Today I ordered from Amazon Alfa AWUS036NHA for $38.
I am completely new to Linux. I saw 6 awesome books on Amazon for beginners (i.e. Linux Bible) to teach me all the commands and other important things. I can’t wait to get the books and start reading! I have never penetrated a network before so I am excited to do it for the first time.
My only worry is about wordlists. I just don’t understand how the #$%@ a wordlist can have my password in it. For example, my real password for my home network has this combination, “3 letters + 7 digits + 1 capital letter + 4 letters”.
I know an incredible password should be 35 characters long and should have a combination of everything, especially special characters, so I will change it to that soon! Anyway, my current passphrase iis completely unique and no one on Earth could think of this password.
How the @#$% can a wordlist have my password if I’m the only human on Earth who could have thought of it? Someone please explain this to me:(. Will I waste countless hours trying to crack my own password and for nothing? Did I just waste $38?
My e-mail: I’m new to linux so any tips or info will be greatly appreciated it, especially about wordlists to download!. I have ordered 10+ TP-Link WN722N wifi adapters over the last 3 months and ALL are BRAND NEW in the sealed box which ALL of them are “v1.0″.
