Hey there, In the past, I've used various linux distributions such as BackTrack/Kali, BlackArch, ArchAssult, Fedora Security, etc. to run penetration tests and other shady things without an issue. But in particular I've been using the aircrack suite for probably close to 4-5 years now and I have yet to run into this problem. So here's the skinny: I got a ThinkPad obsession back in January, and just not too long ago, a Lenovo TP T60 (Type 2007) was gifted to me, and because the number of jobs that I have had lately requiring forensics tools, pen testing, etc, I was needing a dedicated mobile machine for such purposes. So it came to me with Windows XP and the recovery (Lenovo R+R) partition was all in Chinese... so I formatted that garbage off, and I got into booting various live environments to see what worked best for me. Kali Linux: Nogo. Too commercial/branding in your face. Wireless did not work (could only monitor) OOTB. Fedora 21: Nogo. Goddamit anaconda, can't you work for a change? Crunchbang almost worked for me... As did Blackarch. And so I tried out Manjaro with LXDE. Now on Kali, blackarch and crunchbang, the aircrack suite worked perfectly. But the reason why I mention these different distros is for a reason. Kali's (Debian) wireless interface came up as wlan0. Crunchbang (arch): wlan0. Blackarch (...):wls3. Manjaro: (arch): wls3. So I'm guessing that is because of the integration of systemd, or driver differences (ipl3945 firmware loaded vs not loaded). So what I did was I added the blackarch repository to Manjaro after using my google-fu, and discovering that other people have done so (I still wish I came up with the idea first). After some newbie fiddling around with pacman, I got some tools installed from the blackarch repo, and I proceeded to run them: airmon-ng start wls3 -> works just fine. Sometimes if I've stopped it during the same user session, I have to run it twice to get it to generate a mon1, as mon0 gives me error to start airmon. The next command, airodump-ng mon1 generates-> "ioctl(SIOCSIFFLAGS) failed: Name not unique on network". And this is where I reside stuck at the moment. I did some googling and edited my hosts file based on something that worked for two people: # # /etc/hosts: static lookup table for host names # #<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname> 127.0.0.1 paradigm ::1 localhost.localdomain localhost # End of file Where paradigm (the name of my computer) replaces the localhost.localdomain entry- thus pointing the loopback at the correct "network". I'm thinking I'm missing something here though... hosts files have never been my cup of tea. Any and all help is appreciated!
