[DEV] Get Monitor Mode/Injection/Aircrack working on Galaxy S Devices(bcm4329)

Surprisingly we dont yet have monitor mode, airsniffing, or aircracking capabilities within android. The drivers are open source and require some modifications for these features to be taken advantage of. How hard would it be for the dev's here to rewrite the wireless drivers to enable monitor mode? Also wouldnt it be neat to have a android/debian mix'ed rom where we can apt-get things right to the phone instead of a chrooted environment? It would be cool to see some more hacking at this and other things. Let's unleash the wireless functionality of these devices.
It would be cool to get aircrack working on our devices, people with iphones got monitor mode working, just not injection. From what I have seen injection is possible for us, so whats keeping us back from unleashing it?
Also Metasploit Mobile would be a killer addition to android if it only requires python
Ok It seems monitor mode is possible on the bcm4329 chipset which is in our devices and needs a rewrite

Anyone want to post a link to the Vibrant wifi driver source code? It may need to be taken out of samsung's source

Bump. I would like to see this, albeit it would suffice with just the monitor mode for me (wireshark type app would be pretty awesome (

yea it would be really nice to be able to sniff via monitor mode

Yep. if anyone knows much about this sort of thing. This would be a nice add-on

This will be one of the best feature of the phone =D

Noob here. Can someone break down what all this can do for us?
Thanks!

For once it will allow the phone to act as a packet sniffer. Pretty useful if you are into monitoring network activities
I'd love to see a port for our phones.

Yes, this is exactly why I made a thread asking for help getting Debian running on our phones
BTW which someone already has done and has a how-to guide here http://blog.coralic.nl/2010/08/17/ubuntu-on-samsung-galaxy-s-android/
Don't want to lead anyone off with that link, just wanted to plug that in in case anyone else wanted to try it.
But truly this is where the true FUN is, you know. I would love to use a wireshark like type app or aircrack for that matter. I would die to have apt-get built in to the OS.

I have actually been considering working on a project like this for a few weeks. I'll see what's involved next week when I'm on vacation. Ultimately I was hoping to port something similar to kismet to the Galaxy S phone with nice GUI for wireless network penetration testing.
If anyone else has systems development experience and wants to work with me on this, PM me and we can get in touch.

To be honest with you guys.
It would be best to get in contact with HD MOORE of Metasploit or the authors of this software and request for a port.
The metasploit port woul be easy. as it only requires python.
I am personal friends of his.

Metasploit, if it only requires Python, is probably trivial to port to Android. I'm personally interested in working on Aircrack, Monitor Mode, and Packet Injection. These are very different projects and perhaps should be two separate threads.

get ahold of him and see what he can do, metasploit would rock
metasploit mobile, I like the sound of that

quote from HDmoore
via Twitter
HDMoore: @androidunleashd would be slick, we need a solid ruby, persistent daemon, less mem use

Correct. Get those things ported to android. and his frame work will work. Which includes WEP cracking.

I think this is one of my most favorite threads so far. I'm excited to see what comes of all this, I too would love to see metasploit ported to Android, how pwerful would our precious little vibrants be then?

I have been wondering when a project like this would happen. Thinking of all the possibilities makes me giddy.

Ubuntu on p990

After looking around on other devices and prevoiusly owning a htc touch pro 2 and porting ubutnu on it, I have decided that this summer (I finish uni in 3 weeks) I would try putting it on the p990. At first i was going to do it by vnc however i saw this yesterday
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045910
Considering the superior specs of our device and the possibilty of hdmi out
Is anyone else interested in trying to make this possible? If so I thought I would get the thread going, the more people developing the better

I have been requesting this myself, so if this is made possible, I'd be a very happy man!

i would be very happy to help you in any way.
it was my dream to run a full linux on this phone (either meego or fedora).
i'm a heavy linux-user, but a noobie when it comes to android.

+1 On this. Does anyone know if there are people working on this?

instead of going for Native boot,why not try to run it in chroot first?I am trying to get it to run on a chroot envoirnment using VNC first..but till now no success.
Edit:Got it to work on the chroot envoirnment..If any one is interested then let me know i will post the instructions

If there really is usb host mode on this device (dont know why it shouldn't be), then running it natively could be really cool, even be of some good use to people. It's a pretty powerful device so. Drivers will get kind of hard to get though, especially for the gpu, or am I wrong? chroot isn't really that useful, so natively is the way to go. If only I knew more about this, I would help, but one thing, the bootsequence is already done for the DHD, so that part atleast shouldn't require much work to get working on this phone?
Edit: And if we get ubuntu running, there shouldn't be that hard to get a working meego on there either, whenever that's finished ofc.

That can be cool, but we need to know more info about the o2x before :
O2x support USB-HOST ?
If not, can linux support O2x bluetooth stack ?
What about audio ? the only phone that get supported by ubuntu dont have sound support.
The Toshiba Folio 100, a NVidia Tegra 2 device, support ubuntu, anyway to use it on O2x and not start from beginning ?
There is an interested developers ?

I have found the sulotion : you must follow this guide
http://androlinux .com/android-ubuntu- development/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-android/
So dowload the ''ubuntu.zip'' but when you unzip the file replace all ''loop1" by ''loop5'' in bootubuntu file. That all
I'M NOT RESPONSIVE IF YOU BREAK YOUR PHONE !!!

Haven't had much time to look into this yet with being end of year at uni but this might be very useful to us.

Pwn Pad Build

For those of you who do penetration testing, InfoSec, or for the (greyhats), I'm planning on trying to recreate the Pwnie Express Pwn Pad as a side project. If you don't know what I'm referring to, take a look at the following link:
http://pwnieexpress.com/collections/pwn-pad/products/pwnpad
I would never pay $800 for a N7 but I will pay the $20 for the wifi adapter and then build my own!
I work full time and am a n00b when it comes to Android development so any help or testing offers are greatly appreciated.

Holy sh*t they really over price that :/
You would need a WiFi adapter capable of doing your task. Most WiFi adapters are not compatible with aircrack-ng etc...
Also I know some programs listed need the drivers for the specific WiFi adapter used. Let's just say its not a beginners job, but hey, research and test and maybe it will be possible.

Thanks for the replies guys, I have a working knowledge of several of the tools used (aircrack-ng suite, reaver, john the ripper, etc). I have a few good wifi adapters that support packet injection, however I'm not sure about any Android capability. I think I even have the wifi adapter they sell with the Pwnie Express version but I'll have to take a look. If so, at least I know that specific adapter will work as intended via OTG cable.
adxgrave, thanks for the thread. I know that the aircrack-ng suite does work on the ARM architecture because I've run it from my Raspberry Pi before, however I understand that's not at all close to making it work on the N7. I'll keep digging into this topic this week and get back here with some more information.
Again, thanks for the replies fellas.

Even if android doesn't support air crack, I'm pretty sure it does, as I had the alpha app waaaay in the past, you could just boot up Ubuntu and use air crack from there assuming there are Linux drivers for your adapter. Remember, using air crack to crack pass codes is against the law in many places. *unless perhaps you are trying to crack your own to try to increase your security defences on your network.

We are currently working to have the image available soon. You'll want to have a nexus 7 32GB / 4G in order to load the image .
So I have an Nexus 7 32GB but sadly not the 4G how hard do you guys think it is to remove the 4G part of the rom?
or do I have shell out $300 for the stock Nexus 7 4G still cheaper then buying it together from the Pwnie Express.

Looking at the screenshots, it is just using a Ubuntu chroot to accomplish everything, so you should theoretically just be able to do a Backtrack chroot and hook up a WiFi adapter the same way. I'll try it out when I get home

Basically unless someone can get the atheros drivers working on the nexus 7 all this discussion is useless. Pawnpad has already done that.
Everything else is simple as you can use deploy linux to run kali or your own distribution for all the tools.
The broadcom drivers could be ported (they already work well on the samsung S2)
However much better to have the atheros usb adapter as the range is much greater.

Ok, i wouldn't mind buying an atheros usb adapter for N7.
But i need to be sure that i can get or compile the drivers for it.
Has anyone managed to get the drivers from PwnPad release and knows the correct NIC to buy?

no need for multirom. simply install linux deploy from google play and inside the program choose kali linux as the distribution that you want to use.
Linux will run on top of android and use the Nexus 7 connectivity. However you can't inject or monitor, however you can presently do almost everything else like use metasploit, arpspoofing, etc...

Couldn't you just plug in an Alfa and use that instead of the built-in wifi?

The Android sticks have USB WiFi and USB-LAN support out of the box. Funny they throw in a few $5 accessories and repackaged it as $800. Wow.
When I test work, I like to test with a mobile devices since they run on batteries and typically a "worst case scenario". If you can connect with a less powerful device then everything else should be good to go.

changing video card on a laptop

alright guys my friend has a toshiba satellite L755 (this might not be the entire model number im going to look into it again) and its spec are alright but the video card and possible the cpu are ****. he wants to play alot of the newest games but isent able to run most of them, but im sure a simple getting a video card and installing it should be easy but i dont know if the video card is attached to the cpu and that would be very expensive . i wouldnt know how to tell if it would be that problem can anyone help us?

No, yes, no ...
Desktop and Laptop thread? You can't have missed it?

I have never heard of changing a video card on laptop. It's like built in feature and look that you won't find anything on the market that fits GPU for laptops. You could of course buy a graphics card and connect it via usb but from what I remember It was very expensive and was only given support to some intel cpu's

Better luck asking here.

I've done it several times. It all depends on the laptop and wether or not you can even access the Videocard. Most high-end Asus laptops can easily be customized.
Best go to a computershop if you've no experience with it yourself, it isn't always easy.

using as IOT board advice

I have a broken screen S6 that I've been using as an IOT device. I've been having fun with it, but really want to do a little more with it. I'm using But adb and my Chroot I can do quite a bit with it, including using sidesync. But, I'm just not able to access a lot of the hardware with the Chroot setup, and having problems with typical Chroot conflicts with running things. Busybox and ports for pkgs like brew are okay-ish, but then I still have all Android doing everything in the BG and IPtable issues. (idk why I have IPtable problems with only my Samsung devices, never hard the issue with my Nexus's)
Has anyone tried janos.io on the S6? Is there a native Linux I can flash that I'm unaware of.
Basically if someone could please point me in a direction that gives me a better experience for using it as better linux box. Something that allows me to make it more of a IOT board alternative. Thanks!!

Sell it and get proper iot boar with linux support that you need. You may buy few for that.
Or fix the screen, sell and then buy even more.
It's hard even to get MM update on S6, not to mention any other linux os. It is quite useless as IoT board and quire expensive.

Hi,
After some goof'n around I actually have a decent setup. I'll do a write up and provide files on here if people want, regardless I'll post them on my site when i get to it. Basically, paws, brew, full busybox, adb, ssh give me everything I need. Anything missing my chroot seems to take care of. i wanted LAMP, MEAN and dnsmasq. works great and paws gives me hardware access, gps,mic,cam, even accelerometer. I'm pretty happy with it and its a hell of a lot faster than a Pi. Flashing in the future will be strange, if not frustrating. does fastboot work on Samsung's?
thanks for the reply! under normal circumstances i'd just get a proper one, but it was just sitting there screaming to be used.

Hi, I am very interested in this. Surprised there is so little intrest on XDA. "old" phones have some excellent hardware that can be very useful and cheap. I am playing around with an old S4 and IBM Watson\Bluemix at the moment and a little frustrated with the limitations.
Actually just ordered a Nexus with a broken screen to load JanOS or Firefox OS. Sadly I am a noob, and just getting started. Can you please post anything you have, code, links, resources.. anything at all?

Hey, sure! Here's the thing about the S6. I couldn't get anything like janOS on it. Eventually I got Android to stop booting and i could get into a chroot shell via adb. This is after I experimented with PAW and other apps.
The advice above; get a proper board, is damn solid advice. I spent so much time trying to just get an environment I liked. Raspberry Pi might not be as powerful, but after getting my zero I had it running headless and transmitting fm/am in less than 15-20min. I learned shortly after this frustrating experience that using something that has a large community behind it is extremely valuable. Doing it alone I was constantly over my head and had little places to turn for help. Plus, honestly; After really really thinking about it, a rooted android with chroot linux can handle almost everything I needed.
My nexus 5. JanOS was a fun experiment. I put it back together and just kept ubuntu on it. Again, a lot you can do there as well.
Seriously consider a dev board like the guy above said. More powerful boards and probably better suited for deep learning
-ODROID-C2 armv8 cortex A53 64bit
-UDOO x86

Take demon_xxi's advice.
