If you attach it to a "Small, Parabolic Style Dish", you can actually make it perform like a "directional antenna." If used @ home,you can even use an outdoor style antenna with a repeater every 50 ft. if needed and cover a much broader area for Wi-fi signal's. When I used it as a mobile device for my laptop, I could easily cover 2 plus miles in any direction I pointed my antenna mounted on a tri-pod. A lot of fun!!!!
I honestly want to say thank you I’m a student in CS Security and I e learn I would say more from you than my actual classes and your tips truly help me out with any projects I may be doing so thank you a bunch for all the advice Sensei
I just found this channel when searching for wifi adapters and i have to say that the creator is amazing at breaking down very complicated concepts into easy to understand principles. I work in the IT Security industry but don't do any pentesting at the moment. But i'm going to subscribe because if the rest of the videos on this channel have this kind of quality content, I'm definately going to stick around to learn the right information.
Thank you sir. Great content as always! The best thing about you, as compared to most IT professionals, is your ability to break down things and explain with detailed clarity. I truly appreciate the time and effort (and money) you put in, to help us understand certain IT concepts or topic.

Always love your work sir... I wanna say plz Take TP Link WN722N v2/v3 into consideration, as I used them and they work both for monitor mode and packet injection and to create fake AP too. THE REASON WHY: I'm asking you is that many peoples like me won't be able to purchase these expensive adapters. AND IF YOU MAKE VIDEOS on what are other possibilities that this particular TP Link Adapter(costs 8.16dollar) can do, which i don't know, It would be very beneficial for us. Thank you so much, I've always considered myself to be your student. Thank you for your great content sir !!!
@@rajeevchourasiya3889 I covered the adapter in the video. The v2/3 don't work. Only the v1 in my tests and from what I have seen on aircrack website and elsewhere.
This is going to be a video that people will reference in 2024 when trying to buy a antenna. thank you for this david; very rare that people invest this much into their own content!
I covered some of this in my discussions with Neal here: th-cam.com/video/jsMp65-piIc/w-d-xo.html - but, basically, don't spend lots of money unless you want to.

Great content! I always walk away with a decent amount of knowledge. (I would really like to know who would downvote David’s videos and why? If the video is not right up your alley, just walk away... some people... smh)
i got every single of my adapters in monitor mode on several linux distress. Kali, Manjaro, Mint you name it I finally figured them all out scanning and injecting
OMG YES! I have been struggling to find a vid on this that goes into detail with all the requirements and setup, been a sub for a while now on a few accounts. Great stuff thank you so much!
It doesn't . I bought a win722n v2 for 10$ but unfortunately it doesn't work neither on kali Linux nor on other Linux distributions like wifislax . Yes of course , you can install the drivers but you will end up wasting your time because it won't work .now I am looking for win722n v1 is the best option in my case.
@@aminefarahateamine7646 Man I know what i'm talking about, I have this wi-fi adapter, but V3.20. I've installed special drivers from github and it works. Just search on youtube "how to enable monitor mode on tp link wn722n V2/V3".
I just bought a new ALFA AWUS036ACH and yes, you're right, it doesn't work with Kali out of the box, I'm struggling with the driver's, I'll try with parrot, new sub here. 👍
Thank you for subscribing Jose. I'm going to upload a video soon showing you how to get the AWUS036ACH to work with Kali. But, let me know if Parrot works for you.
@@davidbombal Thanks, i've tested the AWUS06ACH on Parrot and i can confirm that works without any driver install, the only thing is that the adapter name is shown as wlx(MAC) and not just as wlan0.
For the BEST range, eBay has some 25dB Yagi antennas for under $20 but for 2.4Ghz only. I have one. They only come with poor grade coax so you may want to replace the coax (with the shortest length possible) of quality microwave coax, such as Times Microwave LM-600. Another alternative is to cut the cable short and install an RP-SMA near the antenna then mount your WiFi adapter there as near the antenna as possible. If necessary, use a USB extension cable or active repeater cable. You need soldering skills to change the cable and an RP-SMA connector. You don't want all of your incredible gain to be lost in bad coax. For 5GHz, you can get 6dB or 8dB for about $50 or you can go with a dish for 30dB but only a single band (2.4 or 5) and again, get a good cable. Some of these come with an N connector and a very short cable so you can get an N-to-RPSMA adapter, change it to RP-SMA or get a microwave cable with N on one end and RP-SMA on the other. A dish or Yagi is NOT an antenna that you can conceal. Another choice is a single or dual-band patch antenna for under $30 with 6 to 10dB gain but more easy to conceal. Watch your connectors. Some may be SMA, RP-SMA or N.
PS. WOW! Now that's a well done index page, I like that thank you! I was thinking as I was opening it that I hope there's some links, and while you've done all the work for us- thanks!
Cool video Doug! I started with a Broadcom. In the end it didn't work out so well but I learned more about repo's, bash, modules and sysctl, blacklists, adapters, nm, oh man it goes on and on what I was forced to learn along the way. I suppose not too bad a thing but I must say watching your video is probably better. Lastly, another pretty good reason to have an external (2nd) adapter is that many scripts and tools make use of multiple adapters, not always necessary but you can do some neat stuff when you got two in play. Hopefully I didn't just miss you already saying that.
David! Chuck has crossed 1 million subscribers. Now let's make your youtube channel cross 1 million subscribers. Well you are becoming smart from fat. #love_from_fatty
Thanks a lot david, i did never meet a person (in the internet) just like you. Also i have some questions (i dont know if you told this already and i making you junk questions, but my English is very bad).: Does all of theese adapters support monitor mode? Does all of theese adapters support packet injection? Can i use them with windows wifi hacking tools (like Network Stumbler)?
Hi David. I've recently fallen down the hacking/pentesting rabbithole thanks, in part, to your videos! I've downloaded VMware, I've got a Kali build for it. I bought a wifi nation WN-H2 (its the one you showed on the leaflet without the antenna). After downloading some drivers I've got it to a point where Kali detects it. I can change the mode to monitor in iwconfig but when I run airodump-ng nothing is detected. I've tried the adapter in every USB my machine has and I've tried messing with the USB 2.0/3.0 settings in VMware and nothing works. Any pointers?
Could be the settings on your VirM make sure the network adapter is bridged in the settings. IIRC airodump uses a separate capture method for the handshake from programs like wifite or wifihoney. So if it is not bridged its read as a wired connection. That could be why the pentest stops at the capture but still reads your configuration. Hope this helps. If I were you I would try a few of the other methods like cracking with rainbow tables after you capture or a dictionary attack which you can use in promiscuity mode.
Thanks for thr great content. Does the Panda Pau09 work out of the box with kali? Or which stick would you recommand for 2.4 and 5ghz which works out of the box. Thanks👍👍👍
Hello Mr Bombal , thank you for your excellent job , there is a Small correction in your script in order to return all the adapters not only wlan0 , below is the correct one : pattern = r'^wlan[0-9]+' check_wifi_result = subprocess.run(["iwconfig"], capture_output=True).stdout.decode() wifi_adapters = re.findall(pattern,check_wifi_result,re.MULTILINE) print(wifi_adapters) Thanks
Hi David excellent video as usual! quick question I am going to buy one this week can you advise one ? I will be using with Kali and also with Raspbian on mi Pi3b+. Thanks and looking forward for more videos really awesome work!
I really appreciate you David, you have the potent and in depth knowledge on the topics you discuss. You really do a lot of background work before revealing the videos. God bless.

Hallo sir, i am recently find you, so thanks for your efforts and i have a question if you could respond me for it ,and the question is , can the access point be used as a monitor mode for hacking wifi password or not? Please respond me and thank you 🤗
Very nice explanation David, I already own AWUS1900 and frankly become very tricky to configure it with Kali cause drivers, with early version of Parrot (4.10) it work just out the box. I would be also very curious to know what is Best INTERNAL WiFi Hacking Card, do you have plans to do a review about that too?
Could you share your experience with this AWUS1900? do you like it? is it working without any issues or are you encountering problems? how stable is the driver? I am considerin buyong one. Thank you for sharing your thoughts
Absolutely love your videos. Your content is always relevant and timely. Question, Have you looked at the tp-link AC600 High Gain Wifi adapter? It runs on both 2.4 and 5Ghz. I am just starting in the cybersecurity field and wasn't sure if I should purchase this one or not. Any feedback you may have would be appreciated. Thanks!
You make great content man thank you so much. I would love to see some videos on attaching external Wi-Fi cards to Kali NetHunter. As always I can't wait for the next video 😎
You're really, really good compliments. Make more videos of real attacks if possible..... Could you make a video of how to control an Android phone over the internet?
I am from Nepal and for getting a good wifi adapter I should do bus travel for more than 15 hours and then also I could get hardly good one. It's quite trouble in Nepal if you are espically belong to remote area like me and if you are a programmer or a hacker. Love you sir from Nepal. Huge respect.
David Thank you so much man You are doing Amazing Work.I needed this Video to buy my new Network Card. Btw Alfa AWUS036ACM is compatible in Linux for 2 and 5 Ghz Bandwidth?
Awesome video that provided me some good info. Using ACHIrtl stupid antenna and have always had major problems to get it work. It's either I need to install drivers again or the 5ghz doesnt work... OP is switching to parrot OS :D ff that sh** :D ALSO the way you say CHIPSET (chupset) made my day. xD
hey David i loved watching and learning everyday from your channel I tried purchasing one online but it can't be shipped to my location..... love from Sierra Leone
Alfa AWUS036NHA is hard to find the driver for online if you don't have the disk anymore, or if you don't have a disk drive, such as using a Pi4. I finally found one but you really have to dig the web for it. But glad you mentioned the 2 and 5 bands.
For TP-LINK network adapter There is a solution to the problem of Tl-wn722n v2 , v3 by writing a set of commands and then it will support the injection and monitoring feature I tried it personally and it worked when I discovered that I had purchased the third version
While true that TP-Link TL-WN722N V2/3 isn't supposed to work as monitor mode but it actualy can work if u upgrade headers and install support for it (speaking from personal expermint ) anyways I just wanted to thank you alot You introuduce me to this wonderful industry and I learned alot from you ❤
Dude u rlly earn millions of subs for buying all these to show us how they r... and just wow because in my place even only one of them costs over 10 millions!!! it's just mind blowing that u could buy all of those :')
I am so lucky to have an onboard wifi adapter on my 15 years old dual core that allows me to use wireshark and such! That's my good old "mess around with" machine! :) (currently running kali linux for the fun of learning)
I'm really happy to announce I finally am able to purchase a WiFi adapter. My birthday has passed and I also will be able to pentest outside my home now. This is gonna revolutionise my studies. Finally I can finish 90% of the things I couldn't do for years. Thanks David for recommending the right adapters
review the alfa APA M25 antenna, and also the tupavco tp513 yagi antenna...awesome chanel by the way....by the way , which of those adapters provide the longest range, which ones can pull up signals farther away?
Oh god, this is like a dream come true.
Not many professional TH-camrs talk in depth about this topic.

Always love your work sir...
I wanna say plz Take TP Link WN722N v2/v3 into consideration, as I used them and they work both for monitor mode and packet injection and to create fake AP too.
THE REASON WHY: I'm asking you is that many peoples like me won't be able to purchase these expensive adapters. AND IF YOU MAKE VIDEOS on what are other possibilities that this particular TP Link Adapter(costs 8.16dollar) can do, which i don't know, It would be very beneficial for us.
Thank you so much, I've always considered myself to be your student.
Thank you for your great content sir !!!
@@rajeevchourasiya3889 I covered the adapter in the video. The v2/3 don't work. Only the v1 in my tests and from what I have seen on aircrack website and elsewhere.
David please give a adapter. In my country there are not available any adapter which support monitor or injection. I am from Bangladesh.
@@davidbombal It is working great by some custom drivers.
@@rajeevchourasiya3889 Can you give me a link to the documentation showing the driver installation and process etc? I'll create a video showing that.
This is going to be a video that people will reference in 2024 when trying to buy a antenna. thank you for this david; very rare that people invest this much into their own content!
Must be analogs noobs😉
Thanks for comparing the different wifi adapter
This help me to buy a suitable wifi adapter for myself
Really happy to hear that the video helped you Ashish
You help me so much in using termux
Thanks for your help
Planning to buy adapter but confused which one select 🤔 after watching your video its clear now😃
Really happy to hear that Ganesh :)
Thank you as always! Always great information. I would love to hear your laptop picks or pick for networking/hacking.
I covered some of this in my discussions with Neal here: th-cam.com/video/jsMp65-piIc/w-d-xo.html - but, basically, don't spend lots of money unless you want to.
@@davidbombal hi
@@davidbombal sir my question is can we use dual power y cable for alfa card to give extra power? I am asking this question because usb 3.0 give about 700mw power but some alfa card works on 2000mW .Sir waiting for your reply.
Great content! I always walk away with a decent amount of knowledge. (I would really like to know who would downvote David’s videos and why? If the video is not right up your alley, just walk away... some people... smh)
Please make a Wi-Fi antenna vid! Love the video!!1
i got every single of my adapters in monitor mode on several linux distress. Kali, Manjaro, Mint you name it I finally figured them all out scanning and injecting
Thank you David. Really appreciate this sort of content for some of us noobs
OMG YES! I have been struggling to find a vid on this that goes into detail with all the requirements and setup, been a sub for a while now on a few accounts. Great stuff thank you so much!
Thx for the video I was looking for something like this...
Omg thank you guys for recommending me to gwin_tech on Instagram that guy is a genius and reliable he’s a really good hacker all thanks to him 💯💯
Sir I am your big fan You are my hacking ideal we are blessed to have you on TH-cam !!!
i use cheap terabyte and tenda wifi adaptor and they both works out of the box on kali. Both supports monitor mode.
Tenda wifi adaptor which one? can you put a link? Thanks
Hi which models u r using?
An update on how to install WiFi adapters on Kali would be amazing can’t wait
Using virtual box?
You might see a tab for usb select your WiFi adapter. Done
@@cyberquest3985 I actually got it working on VMware this morning after ordering the alpha adapter brand but thanks for trying to help me
Please update the new adapter for 2024.
Yes update
Yes
Second that
Please update
Please
Can we possibly touch on this topic again, but cover ups and downs, look at db and noise floor etc...
I’m so glad that there’s a place above my experience level that doesn’t have that baseball hat music.
Thank you for buying and reviewing David ❤ and which application do you use for creating your avatar or emoji in the thumbnail
10:09 Even if it's version 3, you can install drivers that support monitor mode and packet injection.
It doesn't . I bought a win722n v2 for 10$ but unfortunately it doesn't work neither on kali Linux nor on other Linux distributions like wifislax . Yes of course , you can install the drivers but you will end up wasting your time because it won't work .now I am looking for win722n v1 is the best option in my case.
@@aminefarahateamine7646 Man I know what i'm talking about, I have this wi-fi adapter, but V3.20. I've installed special drivers from github and it works. Just search on youtube "how to enable monitor mode on tp link wn722n V2/V3".
It's not working
@@tawfiqhafeeza2398 lel i have the version 2 and its working after installing driver....
Thank you David! Im in the market for an adapter and got bogged down. You made my choice easy!
Sir how to deauth attack on bluetooth device like wifi deauthetication attack. Pls sir make a video on it . Love from India ♥️
I'm working on this :)
@@davidbombal thanks you sir .
I love your contents♥️♥️♥️
Awesome! I can't wait for that video 🤓
Simple , you want to do with Bluetooth?
@@8080VB yes brother
I just bought a new ALFA AWUS036ACH and yes, you're right, it doesn't work with Kali out of the box, I'm struggling with the driver's, I'll try with parrot, new sub here. 👍
Thank you for subscribing Jose. I'm going to upload a video soon showing you how to get the AWUS036ACH to work with Kali. But, let me know if Parrot works for you.
@@davidbombal Thanks, i've tested the AWUS06ACH on Parrot and i can confirm that works without any driver install, the only thing is that the adapter name is shown as wlx(MAC) and not just as wlan0.
@@snakemx87 Cool. That was my experience as well :)
Definitely test and review some antennas. Itd be interesting to see whether that dish shaped one performs better or worse than the long ones.
For the BEST range, eBay has some 25dB Yagi antennas for under $20 but for 2.4Ghz only. I have one. They only come with poor grade coax so you may want to replace the coax (with the shortest length possible) of quality microwave coax, such as Times Microwave LM-600. Another alternative is to cut the cable short and install an RP-SMA near the antenna then mount your WiFi adapter there as near the antenna as possible. If necessary, use a USB extension cable or active repeater cable. You need soldering skills to change the cable and an RP-SMA connector. You don't want all of your incredible gain to be lost in bad coax. For 5GHz, you can get 6dB or 8dB for about $50 or you can go with a dish for 30dB but only a single band (2.4 or 5) and again, get a good cable. Some of these come with an N connector and a very short cable so you can get an N-to-RPSMA adapter, change it to RP-SMA or get a microwave cable with N on one end and RP-SMA on the other.
A dish or Yagi is NOT an antenna that you can conceal. Another choice is a single or dual-band patch antenna for under $30 with 6 to 10dB gain but more easy to conceal. Watch your connectors. Some may be SMA, RP-SMA or N.
PS. WOW! Now that's a well done index page, I like that thank you! I was thinking as I was opening it that I hope there's some links, and while you've done all the work for us- thanks!
3:08 hey David sir
Can you tell me of this adapter supports packet injection and monitor mode or not
Cool video Doug! I started with a Broadcom. In the end it didn't work out so well but I learned more about repo's, bash, modules and sysctl, blacklists, adapters, nm, oh man it goes on and on what I was forced to learn along the way. I suppose not too bad a thing but I must say watching your video is probably better. Lastly, another pretty good reason to have an external (2nd) adapter is that many scripts and tools make use of multiple adapters, not always necessary but you can do some neat stuff when you got two in play. Hopefully I didn't just miss you already saying that.
a review of the antennas would be awesome too by the way
I second this! and would also like the use of extension cables, DIY antennas, and LR equipment to be gone over. Please.
David is right some unbranded adapters are pretty solid. Github will have every driver you'd need.
David! Chuck has crossed 1 million subscribers. Now let's make your youtube channel cross 1 million subscribers.
Well you are becoming smart from fat.
#love_from_fatty
Thanks a lot david, i did never meet a person (in the internet) just like you.
Also i have some questions (i dont know if you told this already and i making you junk questions, but my English is very bad).:
Does all of theese adapters support monitor mode?
Does all of theese adapters support packet injection?
Can i use them with windows wifi hacking tools (like Network Stumbler)?
Hi David. I've recently fallen down the hacking/pentesting rabbithole thanks, in part, to your videos!
I've downloaded VMware, I've got a Kali build for it. I bought a wifi nation WN-H2 (its the one you showed on the leaflet without the antenna). After downloading some drivers I've got it to a point where Kali detects it. I can change the mode to monitor in iwconfig but when I run airodump-ng nothing is detected.
I've tried the adapter in every USB my machine has and I've tried messing with the USB 2.0/3.0 settings in VMware and nothing works.
Any pointers?
Could be the settings on your VirM make sure the network adapter is bridged in the settings. IIRC airodump uses a separate capture method for the handshake from programs like wifite or wifihoney. So if it is not bridged its read as a wired connection. That could be why the pentest stops at the capture but still reads your configuration. Hope this helps. If I were you I would try a few of the other methods like cracking with rainbow tables after you capture or a dictionary attack which you can use in promiscuity mode.
could be that you need to install the adapters driver
Good content. I didn't know your channel, but I've just subscribed.
One question: Does the WiFi Nation 802.11ac AC600 work plug&play with Kali?
Thanks for thr great content. Does the Panda Pau09 work out of the box with kali? Or which stick would you recommand for 2.4 and 5ghz which works out of the box. Thanks👍👍👍
Hello Mr Bombal , thank you for your excellent job , there is a Small correction in your script in order to return all the adapters not only wlan0 , below is the correct one :
pattern = r'^wlan[0-9]+'
check_wifi_result = subprocess.run(["iwconfig"], capture_output=True).stdout.decode()
wifi_adapters = re.findall(pattern,check_wifi_result,re.MULTILINE)
print(wifi_adapters)
Thanks
My favourite Professor love you With Regards ❤️
Thank you Ajay
@@davidbombal it's lovely for getting a heart from you Sir Thanks India Loves You

Thank you Vishal. Let me know how things go with the adapter :)
Hi David excellent video as usual! quick question I am going to buy one this week can you advise one ? I will be using with Kali and also with Raspbian on mi Pi3b+. Thanks and looking forward for more videos really awesome work!
Well simplified and informative video on buying wireless adapters you can find on TH-cam, please try to mention range in the comments.

Hallo sir, i am recently find you, so thanks for your efforts and i have a question if you could respond me for it ,and the question is , can the access point be used as a monitor mode for hacking wifi password or not? Please respond me and thank you 🤗
Very interseting video to watch!
By the way, any 6GHz Wifi adapter you recommand?
Great review David. Thanks for your channel. Such fantastic videos.
Very nice explanation David, I already own AWUS1900 and frankly become very tricky to configure it with Kali cause drivers, with early version of Parrot (4.10) it work just out the box. I would be also very curious to know what is Best INTERNAL WiFi Hacking Card, do you have plans to do a review about that too?
Could you share your experience with this AWUS1900? do you like it? is it working without any issues or are you encountering problems? how stable is the driver? I am considerin buyong one. Thank you for sharing your thoughts
Absolutely love your videos. Your content is always relevant and timely. Question, Have you looked at the tp-link AC600 High Gain Wifi adapter? It runs on both 2.4 and 5Ghz. I am just starting in the cybersecurity field and wasn't sure if I should purchase this one or not. Any feedback you may have would be appreciated. Thanks!
Does kali detect it automaticly
the explanation is very well. thanks. btw I'm from indonesia
You make great content man thank you so much. I would love to see some videos on attaching external Wi-Fi cards to Kali NetHunter. As always I can't wait for the next video 😎
You're really, really good compliments. Make more videos of real attacks if possible..... Could you make a video of how to control an Android phone over the internet?
I am from Nepal and for getting a good wifi adapter I should do bus travel for more than 15 hours and then also I could get hardly good one.
It's quite trouble in Nepal if you are espically belong to remote area like me and if you are a programmer or a hacker.
Love you sir from Nepal.
Huge respect.
Thanks a lot for spending that money to help us to pick the chosen one adapter! ;)
You're welcome Alejandro :)
Panda, EASTECH, and Pineapple Mark VII....I have them all and they work AMAZING! All support monitor and injection.
David Thank you so much man
You are doing Amazing Work.I needed this Video to buy my new Network Card. Btw Alfa AWUS036ACM is compatible in Linux for 2 and 5 Ghz Bandwidth?
Excellent tutorial David! Amazing content. Usefull for my CEH study and my job as pentester. Thanks!
Real good info. Thanks! Also could you do a vid on the Pineapple 7 ?
Awesome video that provided me some good info. Using ACHIrtl stupid antenna and have always had major problems to get it work. It's either I need to install drivers again or the 5ghz doesnt work... OP is switching to parrot OS :D ff that sh** :D ALSO the way you say CHIPSET (chupset) made my day. xD
Really helpful video that's what i am looking for the last few hours and here i find my all answers
Hi David, thank you for your awesome videos. Can these WiFi adapters work with Kali in WSL2?
That's why it's very important to change your wifi password on a regular basis and to monitor wifi clients
Thanks sir I am very confused before
Love from India 👨🏻💻👍
david you are just amazing ; i just wish i found your channel sooner
hey David i loved watching and learning everyday from your channel I tried purchasing one online but it can't be shipped to my location..... love from Sierra Leone
Can you also start showing us how to protect our computers? I love your videos a new subscriber
Alfa AWUS036NHA is hard to find the driver for online if you don't have the disk anymore, or if you don't have a disk drive, such as using a Pi4. I finally found one but you really have to dig the web for it. But glad you mentioned the 2 and 5 bands.
For TP-LINK network adapter There is a solution to the problem of Tl-wn722n v2 , v3 by writing a set of commands and then it will support the injection and monitoring feature I tried it personally and it worked when I discovered that I had purchased the third version
Great explanation sir and now I have no confusion. Love from India!
Thank you!
While true that TP-Link TL-WN722N V2/3 isn't supposed to work as monitor mode but it actualy can work if u upgrade headers and install support for it (speaking from personal expermint ) anyways I just wanted to thank you alot You introuduce me to this wonderful industry and I learned alot from you ❤
I've found the solution and will create a video about it :)
Thanks so much, i joined your discord server and asking what adaptor for kali Linux and now you making this video, thanks so much❤️❤️
You're welcome Luis :)
Dude u rlly earn millions of subs for buying all these to show us how they r... and just wow because in my place even only one of them costs over 10 millions!!! it's just mind blowing that u could buy all of those :')
Yes am interested in a video on antennas ... how much they improve coverage etc
I am so lucky to have an onboard wifi adapter on my 15 years old dual core that allows me to use wireshark and such! That's my good old "mess around with" machine! :) (currently running kali linux for the fun of learning)
Amazing video Sir i learnt a lot from u than my school 😂😂
I'm really happy to announce I finally am able to purchase a WiFi adapter. My birthday has passed and I also will be able to pentest outside my home now. This is gonna revolutionise my studies. Finally I can finish 90% of the things I couldn't do for years. Thanks David for recommending the right adapters
I would be careful putting "I also will be able to pentest outside my home now."" could be considered "cause" by some govvy orgs :D
Amazing, please do more about hacking gadgets 👌🏼
Thanks mr bombal you've unlocked a memory.
Sir you are really great, super even, I just subscribed to your wonderful channel you really deserve it. smile smile!!!
review the alfa APA M25 antenna, and also the tupavco tp513 yagi antenna...awesome chanel by the way....by the way , which of those adapters provide the longest range, which ones can pull up signals farther away?
