An error occurred while setting the listening mode for Aircrack-ng.
In some cases, an exception occurs when you use the airmon-ng command in the Aircrack-ng tool set to the listening mode. For example, SIOCSIFFLA65: Name not unique on network. At this time, you can try to use iwconfig to set. The specific setting method is as follows: (1) disable the wireless network card. Run the following command: ifconfig wlan0 down (2) to set the listening mode. Run the following command: iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor (3) to restart the wireless network card. Run the following command: wlan0 in the ifconfig wlan0 up Command refers to the interface Name of the wireless network card. Therefore, the interface names may be different in different computers. You can use the ifconfig command to view the interface name. Next, you can use the Aircrack-ng tool to set the listening mode. Run the following command: airmon-ng start wlan0. After you set the wireless network adapter to the listening mode, an interface in the listening mode is automatically enabled. The Interface Name Is wlan0mon. Next, you can use the airodump-ng and Aircrack-ng commands in the aircrack-ng tool to capture packets and crack passwords respectively.
