In this guide, I’ll show you how to get the right driver and start monitoring wireless networks ;)Monitor mode allows the device to monitor all traffic received on a wireless channel. You don’t need to be connected to the access point. This can be used to get data from unsecured channels (that’s why we should use https) and attempt to crack router password (I’ll demo it later).
