Monitor mode is a mode in which Linux can monitor all traffic on a network, regardless of whether that traffic is addressed to the computer. In order to use the monitor mode, you need a wireless adapter that supports it.
Monitor mode can be useful for a number of purposes, such as:
- analysing the traffic on a network
- troubleshooting network problems
- sniff out wireless intruders
Here are the Linux commands:
iwconfig
sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
sudo airmon-ng check kill
airmon-ng start wlan0
iwconfig
