IT BS thread

One thing to note is your wireless and eth0 will have different MAC address. If your pi has an address on eth0 when you disconnect it a second MAC will have a second IP from DHCP. Have you tried doing another search?

 

A search with fing? I will try later tonight.

My second thought is, since I have both wifi dongles set up and working, just assign two different access points to the pi, at school I can put one wifi dongle on A and put the second one on B. That way each gets assigned an individual ip from two different networks. Not sure if it will work, but I'm gonna try and see what happens.

 

You can do that. What would be the purpose though? You will want to make sure only 1 side has a default gateway otherwise you can have weird session based issues as WAN IP can change.

 

To be honest, I don't really need two individual ip's. I just need to make sure I can connect through and establish an ssh session through the TL-WN725N, which I can, and I just want to be able to put the other into monitor mode. Since both dongles work, I think I should be able to do this.

 

Like I said man if you have a wifi connection to your home wireless and a cable plugged into the same wifi-access point/L2 switch/firewall router combo (or whatever it is), youhave 2 IPs on the same network. Two different MAC addresses.

That explains why if you plug in with a cable you can ssh into THAT IP, you're getting eth0's IP. If you then setup wifi, unplug the cabled connection you'll drop. The wifi is at a different IP on the same network as every NIC has it's own MAC address (spoofing not withstanding....).

 

Unless you're on a PS3/PS4

 

Like I said... spoofing not withstanding.

 

Got them both working. I think it is set up how I want it. I haven't tried running aircrack-ng or monitor mode, but I can log into the IP associated with wlan1 which is set to the mini wifi dongle WN-725N and the wlan2 which is dongle WN-722N, the one I can get into monitor mode, has its own ip. I can still run the command: sudo iwlist wlan2 scan | grep ESSID from wlan1 and scan SSID's.

So I am hoping I will be able to get it into monitor mode and still be connected to the mini dongle

 

Those SSID's are boring

Did you honestly hide your private IP's? bruhhh

 

I'm not Jedi yet and some of the shit that you guys can do scare me. So yes, I did black out my IP's.

 

ips inside your network are trivially easy to obtain.

 

If the IP you have is

192.168.0.0/16
172.16.0.0/12
10.0.0.0/8
169.254.0.0/16

You do not have to hide it.

 

Do you foresee any problems with having the wifi dongles set up this way?

 

Nope. If wlan1 is on network 192.168.0.0/16 and wlan2 is on 10.0.0.0/24, if your computer is on 192.168.0.0/16 you can communicate with the device and it will be able to reach both networks.

Again though, like I said, if you have a gateway on both IPs and the route priorities are wrong you may have weird issues. ESPECAILLY if the 10.0.0.0/24 network happens to have some route built that would point to another network with a 192.168.0.0/24... say via a VPN or MPLS.

 

my noobeness.

 

Those are all private non-routable networks.

My computer is 192.168.1.100
My vHost is 192.168.1.10

YOU CAN'T HACK ME

 

I haven't hacked anything, just started with all this stuff a few weeks ago, but then again, Neo did fail the jump test the first time around....

Do yourself a favor. Crack open the first few sections of NET+ or CCNA/CCENT you'll thank me later as you cannot really begin to understand your tools if OSI or the different protocols don't make sense. You gotta know at least how it works in order to exploit it.

 

Sweet. Any other book reccomendations would be greatly appreciated.

 

So i got called in to fix someone's network issues yesterday. It's tiny office on AT&T DSL with 10 static routable IPs and a new Arris DSL modem. 1 Linux "server" (old dell desktop), 1 QNAP storage box and an Airport Extreme. Everything is plugged into and old dumb 100mbit switch.... The server and QNAP both have 2 ethernet cables going to the same dumb switch and they tell me that both of these boxes have internal and external IP addresses..... while connected to the same dumb switch. My had exploded. They are mixing internal and external traffic on a dumb switch with no VLAN support of any kind.

Apparently, geniuses at Arris decided that it was a good idea to some internal woodoo and route external IPs to the internal network all willy nilly.... because you know, NAT is somehow not cool anymore.

Here is a kicker... AirPort was set into the bridge mode and gave out routable internet addresses to internal DHCP clients.

Anyway, I have tried to fix things but turns out they use the QNAP as L2TP VPN server, and this Arris modem is not able to properly NAT GRE, so no vpn connections timed out. Had to leave everything as is for now and told them that they need a proper Linux or pfSense firewall, so we could bridge that stupid Arris and have proper control of how things work.
