--> 00:00:06,370 The band of a network 4 4 00:00:06,370 --> 00:00:08,450 defines what frequency it 5 5 00:00:08,450 --> 00:00:11,400 can use to broadcast the signal. 6 6 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,030 This means it also defines 7 7 00:00:13,030 --> 00:00:14,930 the frequency that the clients 8 8 00:00:14,930 --> 00:00:17,030 or the computers need to be able 9 9 00:00:17,030 --> 00:00:19,150 to support and use in order to 10 10 00:00:19,150 --> 00:00:21,680 be able to connect this network. 11 11 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,570 The two main frequencies used in 12 12 00:00:23,570 --> 00:00:28,120 WiFi networks are 2.4 and 5 gigzhertz. 13 13 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,010 Now previously, when we use airodump-ng 14 14 00:00:31,010 --> 00:00:32,970 we were only sniffing on 15 15 00:00:32,970 --> 00:00:35,423 the 2.4 gigahertz frequency. 16 16 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:37,790 You can see first of all 17 17 00:00:37,790 --> 00:00:38,795 my wireless adapter is in 18 18 00:00:38,795 --> 00:00:41,690 monitor mode mon0 in here. 19 19 00:00:41,690 --> 00:00:44,190 So if I just do airodump-ng mon0 20 20 00:00:49,470 --> 00:00:50,700 you'll see that I can get the 21 21 00:00:50,700 --> 00:00:53,310 wireless networks around me. 22 22 00:00:53,310 --> 00:00:55,620 But you might have noticed that 23 23 00:00:55,620 --> 00:00:58,170 you won't actually see all the networks 24 24 00:00:58,170 --> 00:01:00,633 around you when you run airodump-ng. 25 25 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,550 I'm gonna control-c this 26 26 00:01:03,550 --> 00:01:05,370 and if I go here to 27 27 00:01:05,370 --> 00:01:07,520 my normal host machine 28 28 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:08,530 and it actually has a 29 29 00:01:08,530 --> 00:01:09,790 built in wireless adapter 30 30 00:01:09,790 --> 00:01:11,925 so it's not as strong 31 31 00:01:11,925 --> 00:01:13,270 as my alpha adapter. 32 32 00:01:13,270 --> 00:01:15,270 But if I look for networks, 33 33 00:01:15,270 --> 00:01:16,540 you'll see I actually have 34 34 00:01:16,540 --> 00:01:18,203 much more networks in here. 35 35 00:01:19,050 --> 00:01:21,250 And mainly I have networks and 36 36 00:01:21,250 --> 00:01:24,030 in here and the name by 5G. 37 37 00:01:24,030 --> 00:01:25,410 Now the network doesn't have 38 38 00:01:25,410 --> 00:01:27,570 to necessarily end in 5G 39 39 00:01:27,570 --> 00:01:28,990 but here in Ireland if 40 40 00:01:28,990 --> 00:01:31,750 a network broadcasts over five gigahertz 41 41 00:01:31,750 --> 00:01:33,400 the service provider adds 42 42 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,370 5G to the network name. 43 43 00:01:35,370 --> 00:01:36,950 But we also have other networks 44 44 00:01:36,950 --> 00:01:38,540 broadcasting over 5G 45 45 00:01:38,540 --> 00:01:40,710 that don't end in 5G. 46 46 00:01:40,710 --> 00:01:42,400 But basically the main point that 47 47 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,660 I want to talk about is I'm not able 48 48 00:01:45,660 --> 00:01:47,680 to see all the networks around me 49 49 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,690 in here in airodump-ng. 50 50 00:01:49,690 --> 00:01:51,840 And the reason for this is 51 51 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,465 because airodump-ng is only sniffing 52 52 00:01:54,465 --> 00:01:57,760 on 2.0 gigahertz frequency. 53 53 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,370 So if you do this and you don't 54 54 00:02:00,370 --> 00:02:02,340 see all the networks around you, 55 55 00:02:02,340 --> 00:02:03,550 or if you're sniffing 56 56 00:02:03,550 --> 00:02:04,707 on your own network, 57 57 00:02:04,707 --> 00:02:06,650 but you don't see all the clients 58 58 00:02:06,650 --> 00:02:08,550 in your network it's possible 59 59 00:02:08,550 --> 00:02:09,400 that your routers is 60 60 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:10,930 broadcasting over two bands, 61 61 00:02:10,930 --> 00:02:13,470 over 2.4 and five gigahertz. 62 62 00:02:13,470 --> 00:02:14,440 And if you're not seeing 63 63 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:15,380 the router at all, 64 64 00:02:15,380 --> 00:02:16,640 if you are not seeing the network 65 65 00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:18,440 at all like what's happening 66 66 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,930 here for me, then the router 67 67 00:02:20,930 --> 00:02:22,580 is probably just broadcasting 68 68 00:02:22,580 --> 00:02:24,560 over five gigahertz. 69 69 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:25,950 Now this doesn't mean that 70 70 00:02:25,950 --> 00:02:27,970 your wireless adapter is not good. 71 71 00:02:27,970 --> 00:02:29,360 it just literally means that 72 72 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:30,980 this adapter is not able to 73 73 00:02:30,980 --> 00:02:32,720 see five gigahertz frequency. 74 74 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,640 It's just outside of its limit, 75 75 00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:37,010 outside of its reach. 76 76 00:02:37,010 --> 00:02:38,920 The main problem with five gigahertz 77 77 00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:40,250 is that, there are a lot 78 78 00:02:40,250 --> 00:02:41,750 of wireless adapters that can 79 79 00:02:41,750 --> 00:02:43,960 see it and can communicate with it. 80 80 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,700 But not many of them support 81 81 00:02:45,700 --> 00:02:48,060 monitor mode and packet injection. 82 82 00:02:48,060 --> 00:02:50,330 So you might see me and other people 83 83 00:02:50,330 --> 00:02:52,270 recommending wireless adapters like 84 84 00:02:52,270 --> 00:02:53,340 Alpha AWUS0360NHA 85 85 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,920 This is my most favorite wireless adapter. 86 86 00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:02,040 I use it all the time, even now. 87 87 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,780 But the problem with that adapter is 88 88 00:03:03,780 --> 00:03:06,163 it doesn't pick up five gigahertz frequency. 89 89 00:03:07,356 --> 00:03:09,030 So it doesn't mean that that adapter is bad 90 90 00:03:09,030 --> 00:03:10,560 it just means that it can't see 91 91 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,103 five gigahertz frequency. 92 92 00:03:13,710 --> 00:03:15,190 Like I said, there aren't many 93 93 00:03:15,190 --> 00:03:18,750 wireless adapters that support five gigahertz, 94 94 00:03:18,750 --> 00:03:22,450 but I have an adapter here it's Alpha AWUS0360ACH 95 95 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,070 and this adapter supports both 96 96 00:03:27,070 --> 00:03:30,790 2.4 gigahertz and five gigahertz frequencies. 97 97 00:03:30,790 --> 00:03:33,200 It's not as good as the Alpha 98 98 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,520 but it does the job. 99 99 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,090 Now if you want more information about 100 100 00:03:37,090 --> 00:03:38,260 wireless adapters check out 101 101 00:03:38,260 --> 00:03:39,330 the link in the resources. 102 102 00:03:39,330 --> 00:03:40,670 I'm not going to talk a lot about 103 103 00:03:40,670 --> 00:03:42,930 what wireless adapters do. 104 104 00:03:42,930 --> 00:03:44,760 But in this lecture I wanna show you 105 105 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,100 how to sniff and discover five gigahertz 106 106 00:03:47,100 --> 00:03:49,060 frequency networks and then so that 107 107 00:03:49,060 --> 00:03:50,850 you can use all the attacks that you've 108 108 00:03:50,850 --> 00:03:52,292 learned in my other lecture and 109 109 00:03:52,292 --> 00:03:55,010 in my previous videos with 110 110 00:03:55,010 --> 00:03:56,713 five gigahertz networks. 111 111 00:03:57,550 --> 00:03:59,800 So, the adapter that I'm using right now 112 112 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,790 supports five gigahertz but 113 113 00:04:01,790 --> 00:04:03,260 as you can see, I still 114 114 00:04:03,260 --> 00:04:05,300 can't pick up these networks. 115 115 00:04:05,300 --> 00:04:07,410 That's because I need to specifically 116 116 00:04:07,410 --> 00:04:09,730 tell airodump-ng that I want you 117 117 00:04:09,730 --> 00:04:12,680 to listen on five gigahertz frequencies 118 118 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,473 and five gigahertz channels. 119 119 00:04:15,570 --> 00:04:17,260 To do that, all we have to do is 120 120 00:04:17,260 --> 00:04:19,910 just do airodump-ng like we always do 121 121 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,160 and then we are gonna use a new argument 122 122 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,780 that we haven't see before and 123 123 00:04:25,780 --> 00:04:27,573 this argument is called band. 124 124 00:04:29,470 --> 00:04:30,990 And we're gonna tell it that I want 125 125 00:04:30,990 --> 00:04:33,550 you to sniff on band A 126 126 00:04:33,550 --> 00:04:34,840 and that's the band that 127 127 00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:37,680 supports five gigahertz frequency. 128 128 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,192 And then I'm just going to give it 129 129 00:04:39,192 --> 00:04:41,180 the name of my wireless adapter 130 130 00:04:41,180 --> 00:04:43,473 in monitor mode which is Mon0. 131 131 00:04:45,940 --> 00:04:48,340 So the command is very simple. 132 132 00:04:48,340 --> 00:04:49,610 It's very similar to what 133 133 00:04:49,610 --> 00:04:51,050 we have used before. 134 134 00:04:51,050 --> 00:04:52,060 And all we have to do 135 135 00:04:52,060 --> 00:04:54,250 is just type in airodump-ng 136 136 00:04:54,250 --> 00:04:56,013 followed by the band and 137 137 00:04:56,013 --> 00:04:58,760 that band that we want to use is A 138 138 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,140 and we're following that with 139 139 00:05:00,140 --> 00:05:01,873 our wireless interface. 140 140 00:05:03,530 --> 00:05:04,713 So I'm gonna hit enter, 141 141 00:05:07,430 --> 00:05:08,620 and as you can see as soon 142 142 00:05:08,620 --> 00:05:09,870 as we hit this I'm actually just 143 143 00:05:09,870 --> 00:05:11,490 gonna do control C now 'cause 144 144 00:05:11,490 --> 00:05:13,490 you can see the results. 145 145 00:05:13,490 --> 00:05:15,390 You can see that we got much more 146 146 00:05:15,390 --> 00:05:17,720 networks right now and we have 147 147 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,130 the five gigahertz networks. 148 148 00:05:19,130 --> 00:05:21,110 So we have this network and 149 149 00:05:21,110 --> 00:05:21,980 this network that we 150 150 00:05:21,980 --> 00:05:23,590 weren't able to see. 151 151 00:05:23,590 --> 00:05:25,150 We have the JamesSmithWhiskey 152 152 00:05:26,042 --> 00:05:26,875 newtwork as well. 153 153 00:05:26,875 --> 00:05:28,660 And basically we're able to capture 154 154 00:05:28,660 --> 00:05:30,600 all the networks that use the 155 155 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,040 five gigahertz frequency. 156 156 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,850 Now what you can also do, 157 157 00:05:34,850 --> 00:05:36,550 let me clear the screen. 158 158 00:05:36,550 --> 00:05:39,860 You can specify multiple bands 159 159 00:05:39,860 --> 00:05:41,970 using the band argument. 160 160 00:05:41,970 --> 00:05:43,920 So again, using the same command, 161 161 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,993 instead of just saying band A, 162 162 00:05:47,092 --> 00:05:49,208 we can do band a-b-g 163 163 00:05:49,208 --> 00:05:50,943 and what this will do is 164 164 00:05:50,943 --> 00:05:54,880 it will tell airodump-ng to capture data 165 165 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,820 on both 2.4 and five gigahertz frequencies 166 166 00:05:59,820 --> 00:06:01,073 at the same time. 167 167 00:06:02,420 --> 00:06:03,423 So let me show you. 168 168 00:06:05,330 --> 00:06:06,740 So as you can see right here 169 169 00:06:06,740 --> 00:06:09,760 we're capturing some 2.4 gigahertz networks 170 170 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,950 and we're capturing five gigahertz networks 171 171 00:06:11,950 --> 00:06:13,980 as well at the same time. 172 172 00:06:13,980 --> 00:06:15,960 and we'll also be able to discover 173 173 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,840 clients connecting to both bands. 174 174 00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:21,210 The only problem with using 175 175 00:06:22,299 --> 00:06:24,130 airodump like this is first of all, 176 176 00:06:24,130 --> 00:06:25,110 you need a powerful 177 177 00:06:25,110 --> 00:06:27,250 wireless adapter to do this. 178 178 00:06:27,250 --> 00:06:29,820 Also it will be slightly slower 179 179 00:06:29,820 --> 00:06:32,040 than only sniffing on one band. 180 180 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,380 Because when you're sniffing on 181 181 00:06:33,380 --> 00:06:35,260 two bands you have a lot of channels 182 182 00:06:35,260 --> 00:06:37,330 that airodump-ng has to hop on 183 183 00:06:37,330 --> 00:06:39,840 all of them and discover clients 184 184 00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:43,203 and networks broadcasting on these channels. 185 185 00:06:44,140 --> 00:06:46,140 So, if you want quicker results 186 186 00:06:46,140 --> 00:06:48,980 then you're better off specifying the band A, 187 187 00:06:48,980 --> 00:06:50,400 when you want to sniff on the 188 188 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,570 five gigahertz frequencies and just 189 189 00:06:52,570 --> 00:06:55,403 not specify the band when sniffing on 2.4. 190 190 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,660 But, as you can see you can 191 191 00:06:58,660 --> 00:07:00,460 just run the command like so, 192 192 00:07:00,460 --> 00:07:03,470 with band a-b-g and this way you'll 193 193 00:07:03,470 --> 00:07:06,203 be able to capture data sent over 194 194 00:07:06,203 --> 00:07:09,863 2.4 and five gigahertz frequencies. 195 195 00:07:10,780 --> 00:07:14,290 Also keep in mind, in order to sniff data 196 196 00:07:14,290 --> 00:07:17,400 on five gigahertz frequency, like I said 197 197 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,740 your wireless adapter needs to 198 198 00:07:19,740 --> 00:07:22,200 be able to support this band. 199 199 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,690 So simply adding the band argument 200 200 00:07:24,690 --> 00:07:27,714 will not work unless your wireless adapter 201 201 00:07:27,714 --> 00:07:32,143 can support and can sniff data on this band. 202 202 00:07:34,110 --> 00:07:36,180 One more thing that I wanna note, 203 203 00:07:36,180 --> 00:07:37,920 I've actually said this before. 204 204 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,220 If you run airodump-ng against a network 205 205 00:07:41,220 --> 00:07:43,530 and you see some devices missing 206 206 00:07:43,530 --> 00:07:46,260 then there is a high chance that these devices 207 207 00:07:46,260 --> 00:07:48,700 are connected over five gigahertz. 208 208 00:07:48,700 --> 00:07:51,380 So again, use the band A and then 209 209 00:07:51,380 --> 00:07:53,583 you should be able to see these devices. 16320
