Wifi Scanner
Deny Debwany
I,m new to the world of pentesting and am keen to learn . I would like to know how I can get my flipper to work on wifi so I can use deauther and wifi scanner etc as well as some other stuff . I have a wifi dev card but I am not sure how to set it up . Everytime I connect it to the flipper it says insert wifi scanner module so somethings now right . Any help or advice me great
I am assuming that you have a wifi device in your laptop. Its a fair assumption, but hot a given. You could be connected via a wired connection to a router. If that were to be the case, nothing I can say would help you.
But you could use LinSSID (sudo apt-get install linssid) . Run it in privileged mode (ie, via: sudo linssid). It needs sudo because it goes to the device driver of your wifi device and puts it in to what is known as promiscuous mode. That way it can listen to any device that is out there and which your device can see. It has a graphical interface, so its pretty easy to understand.
One word of caution. I don't know for certain, because I have a wired interface that I am using, plus I have a wifi device that I generally don't use (it was free on the motherboard!). But if you are using the wifi as a general interface to the outside world, you may find that you lose connectivity when doing a scan. I can't be certain, and it may be device dependent, but it is a possibility.
One of the downloads was for setting up wifi comms but i do not know how to implement this feature . Looking for some advice on how to set up this scanned for wireless communication. I am using windows 10. The USB connection works fine but my table is small and want to place the scanner further away and also be able to use it with more than one computer.
If you have the network adaptor, please click HERE and download/install the wireless setup tool from the Canon website. When the page opens, click the software and drivers option and scroll down to access the file.
i did download the setup tool. it comes with no installation instructions or how to use it. nevertheless i managed to download and run it. when it ran it asked me to choose a scanner model. mine was not on the list , its tce c230. when i choseone of the listed ones it showed me how to prepare the canner for wifi connection usin on touch but my ontouch does not have such a tab. I am guessing this download does not cover my scanner or my scanner has no wifi connection feature but thank you for taking the time to answer my request.
Hi... Hope I have a very easy question... I have a new Dell i7 Win 10 laptop and I need to connect a USB scanner to it. Normally, the scanner would use a USB 2.0 cable to make the connection, but I don't want to use a cable. (The scanner has its own power supply, and does not draw its power off the USB connection...) The scanner is not equipped to handle wireless... How do I get the computer and scanner to talk with each other using wireless? I do have wireless wifi setup in the house if that helps. The computer and scanner are about 10 feet apart, and the computer and scanner will be dedicated to each other -- no need for multiple computers to access the scanner. TIA... Alan
Respectfully, "impossible" is inaccurate... USB is just a transfer protocol (pretty simple too...) As I mentioned, I do have a wifi network... I just checked, and my first floor machine easily talks with one of my second floor machines, including a scanner. All I need to do is hook up my new scanner into one of my network machines (I think I'll buy a dedicated machine), and wifi and Windows will take care of the rest... Easy breezy...
I don't know if I need a router or not... I don't see why USB wireless can't work with scanners... In fact, I have a wireless scanner/printer/fax that works with both USB or wireless, and that works fine as a wireless USB scanner. Beyond that, wireless has been around since 2010 (look up WUSB). Iogear used to make a standard wireless dongle, but they no longer make it... There must be some manufacturer out there that makes such a thing...
USB adapters depend on drivers and things. These need an operating system. Sadly, your scanner cannot run an operating system. Netgear's adapters won't even work on Unix systems, and only some will connect with Macs.
It is a rule of thumb around here, that people who turn up claiming IT expertise are generally the least reliable when it comes to understanding problems and solutions. They rarely work in the area, and allow their knowledge of something completely different to get in the way.
Depends what sort of info you are looking for i guess. If you are wanting quick and easy details on signal strength, channel, utilisation and connected clients( as well as a few other things) check out inSSIDer. I use it often.
If you are more so wanting to test the integrity of a WLANs security then there are a suite of opensource tools that can be somewhat customisable to suit your requiremrnts. that being said however, all things have limitations
What would be appealing to me is to be able to build a signal heatmap. I.e. what I get when I look at the floorplan in my UniFi Controller, but based on actual measurements, not hypothetical calculations. With the goal of optimizing AP placement in challenging building environments involving masonry and concrete with rebar.
I had the impression some of the newer/fancier WiFi scanner products can do that. Looks like the Ekahau Pro that you are mentioning offers exactly this feature. Alas, I was hoping for something in the perhaps a couple of hundred price range at most. Appreciate the pointer, though!
For my epson EcoTank (wireless), I had to use all the below config.
services.printing and services.sane are quite obvious, but services.avahi could be the missing part in your config. It allows detection of device over the network in a protocol that the driver probably expects.
I guess you could use wireshark to detect the ports that are used. But it could be that the port is not always the same. It may be simpler to disable the firewall on the local network, or to allow anything from the printer IP.
it looks like iscan-network-nt + sane-epson2 should be the solution, but we only package iscan-network-nt as part of epkowa. It may be a good idea to see if we can get iscan-network-nt + sane-epson2 working
Seems like the way to go is to address the scanner directly by ip, provided that this ip remains stable thanks to your local DHCP. See how to do that in the man pages here. That would avoid the discovery issues.
I guess you will have to go with networking.firewall.extracommands and something like the following (but I am no iptable guru, so this may not be a correct iptables rule per se, and the OUTPUT rule may not be needed.)
My scanner already receives the same IP from the local DHCP server (a wireless router). But it is not possible to edit the epson2.conf configuration file because it is installed read only in the nix store, and the sane module does not offer any means of changing it. This is a weak point of the sane module that maybe should be addressed.
One of my points failed to work on me, so I reset it. Upon doing so I've not been able to reconnect it.
It shows up in my google home app as a device to add but refuses to connect. The nearly useless app refuses to accept the QR code on the bottom (keeps on saying this is not the code you are looking for) of the hub, so I try to switch to manual entry. The code that is found on the bottom ring, entered, and then proceed. The point changes to blue, then refuses to work either, saying that the connection failed. Retried multiple times, scanning with different lighting, even tested a different code with shows me no indication I put in the wrong set up code.
I can see the hub on my wifi scanner, so it's there. Cannot connect to it as it has a password that I don't know, so I really have no other ideas. Any help is appreciated.
Scroll to the bottom of the article, select "My device isn't available in the Google Home app" then select the model of Wifi point you have to see the reset steps. Be aware it can take 5-10 minutes for the reset process to complete.
Once reset, follow the steps to add an additional point like you did the first time. Expand the "Set up your Nest Wifi router" section and scroll down to the section "Add a point or an additional router".
I use a XG106 (SFOS 18.0.1 MR-1-Build396) and several AP100c and APX320 access points. LAN has a different IP range than two of the WLANs have. This is by purpose to keep the devices separated in both networks. The printer+scanner (OKI MC853) is based in LAN. Access from within LAN works fine.
This way back is blocked. I tested with Policy Tester and on one notebook using ping to the printer. Printing still not works. Don't want to think about scanning yet. Policy Tester shows that no rule was found.
How do I verify my definitions to be correct for Wireless in my Firewall rule? APs are setup with zone WiFi_WORK. Zone WiFi_WORk is part of the two rules as shown in previous posts. Any hint what to check or where to look at?
