I want to enable monitoring mode to work with Wireshark. I have macOS, but I use Wireshark via the UTM emulator in Ubuntu (I’m making a system to study the pentest), but I’m not sure what I’m doing right
To begin with, I entered a command into the mac OS terminal:
sudo ifconfig en0 monitor
Got the error:
ifconfig: monitor: bad value
I realized that monitoring mode is not available for all network interfaces.
1 Question – Do I need to buy a network adapter that supports monitoring mode and macOS only? Or Linux too? If the adapter supports only macOS and I turn on monitoring mode in macOS, and then go to Ubuntu, will monitoring mode work there? Or do you need Linux support?
2 Question – Did I enter the right command? Maybe I entered something wrong. If something is wrong, please write the correct commands.
If the adapter must support both macOS and Linux, please advise such adapters.
