ALFA Networks is a manufacturer of Network Interface Cards (NICs) commonly used in the MSSI course. Historically, we have given out these cards to use with to do Wireless Packet Sniffing.
Installation
There are various ways to install the NICs depending on your chosen platform.
Windows / MacOS
Most drivers for ALFA NICs can be found on their official downloads page.
Linux
Linux drivers for ALFA NICs can be tricky sometimes. Depending on the hardware, drivers may require different custom-compiled 3rd-party sources. This is a list of known hardware and kernel module sources.
| Model | Chipset | Driver Type | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| AWUS036ACS | Realtek | DKMS | rtl8812au (gnab) |
| AWUS036NHA | Atheros | Built-In | ath9k_htc |
| AWUS1900 | Realtek | DKMS | rtl8812au (aircrack-ng) |
