Overview

The Raspberry Pi 3B+ (and all other current Raspberry Pis) has built in WiFi. The "wlan0" interface is typically the default gateway of connection besides Ethernet, but it is not capable of entering "monitoring mode". In this tutorial, we will show you how to ensure a separate network adapter is capable of monitoring mode and how to enable it. We will also go a bit into how to install and use software to utilize the monitoring mode feature, namely kismet.

Materials/Prerequisites

The main component you will need is a network adapter that is capable of monitoring mode and is compatible with the Raspberry Pi you are using. This tutorial also assumes you have the necessary drivers installed, but most network adapters associated with Raspberry Pi usage should be compatible straight out of the box. The network adapter used for this tutorial is found here: [Network Adapter]
