Kali Linux Virtual Box Pyrit Installation

Update 04/04/2022: use python2 also followed by sudo if needed

sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev

sudo apt-get install python-dev

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev

Download zip from https://github.com/JPaulMora/Pyrit

or from https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xTYyMmc-dazKf95rF4unsYPELJ3doCvw/view?usp=sharing

Use Linux GUI file manager to extract the .ZIP file into Pyrit-master.

cd Pyrit-master

python setup.py clean

python setup.py build
If get error, then sudo ntpdate -v pool.ntp.org and then sudo apt-get update. Then run: sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

sudo python setup.py install

Mind you that these notes are more for me than you. Good thing, because I did a Google search on how to install hcxpcaptool and hcxdumptool and out popped my notes from 2018.

Kali Virtual Box - Hash Sum Mismatch

This error occurs when running sudo apt-get update in the Kali Linux virtual box.

Holy Toledo! This resolved it:

$ sudo bash

$ mkdir /etc/gcrypt
$ echo all >> /etc/gcrypt/hwf.deny
$ sudo apt-get update

Kali Linux Virtual Box and the AWUS1900 USB WiFi Adapter

This is a continuation of the previous post. Now that WiFi is enabled in the Kali Linux virtual machine. I have to log out, shutdown the machine and then plug in the AWUS1900 into the Windows host with the appropriate driver already installed from https://store.rokland.com/pages/rokland-technologies-support..

After Windows recognizes the AWUS1900 adapter, I return to the Virtual Box setting for USB and add a USB 3.0 controller for "Realtek 80211ac NIC".

Then I unplug the WiFi Adapter and start the Kali Linux Virtual machine.

Inside the Kali Linux Virtual machine I open a browser and follow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81bWw7VOlVA&feature=youtu.be to install the AWUS1900 Linux Drivers.

Then I plug back in the AWUS1900 WiFi adapter and after left clicking the network connection icon at the top of the Kali desktop screen, I see available networks.

Hallelujah, sweet Mary, mother of Jesus.

Kali Linux Virtual Box Enable Wireless Interface

After installing the virtual machine: "VirtualBox-6.1.10-138449-Win.exe" and the extension for it: "Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.1.12.vbox-extpack", I imported the appliance: "kali-linux-2020.2a-vbox-amd64.ova" and discovered that when right clicking on the network icon in the top right corner of the the Kali desktop there was no option for "Enable WiFi".

I followed the instructions at https://thetechrim.com/fix-wireless-drivers-problem-in-kali-linux2020/.

The only difference is that I used "sudo make unload" and "sudo make load".

Now I will see if I can get the Kali Linux virtual machine to recognize the USB Wifi adapter.

PS: I also saved a copy of the necessary files at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TyZSLGacFpv2GxpUwQ1GAShIUqi6IDPg/view?usp=sharing

Kali Linux, HackRF One and GNURadio Not Generating Osmocom Sink

sudo apt-get install hackrf libhackrf_dev libhackrf0

sudo ldconfig

sudo hackrf_info

sudo apt-get install gnuradio gr-osmosdr gr-gsm

sudo ldconfig

sudo gnuradio-companion

The following construct kept generating errors in the Python code that alternated among gain_mode0, irq_balance0 or dc_offset NOT FOUND. I installed GNURadio with sudo apt-get install gnuradio gr-osmsdr gr-gsm.

Mind you that Osmocom source generated okay but not Osmocom Sink. After repeatedly failing to build gr-osmosdr from source, I went directly to the file "/usr/share/gnuradio/grc/blocks/osmosdr_sink.block.yml" and removed all the code between:

"make: |
    osmosdr.sink(
        args="numchan=" + str(${nchan}) + " " + ${args}
    )"

AND

"documentation: |-
The osmocom sink block:"

Then I put back only the following lines:

self.${id}.set_sample_rate(${sample_rate})
    % if context.get('nchan')() > 0:
    self.${id}.set_center_freq(${freq0}, 0)
    self.${id}.set_freq_corr(${corr0}, 0)
    self.${id}.set_gain(${gain0}, 0)
    self.${id}.set_if_gain(${if_gain0}, 0)
    self.${id}.set_bb_gain(${bb_gain0}, 0)
    self.${id}.set_antenna(${ant0}, 0)
    self.${id}.set_bandwidth(${bw0}, 0)
    % endif
callbacks:
    - set_sample_rate(${sample_rate})
    - set_center_freq(${freq0}, 0)
    - set_freq_corr(${corr0}, 0)
    - set_gain(${gain0}, 0)
    - set_if_gain(${if_gain0}, 0)
    - set_bb_gain(${bb_gain0}, 0)
    - set_antenna(${ant0}, 0)
    - set_bandwidth(${bw0}, 0)

And I set defaults in "/usr/share/gnuradio/grc/blocks/osmosdr_sink.block.yaml" to what I would normally use.

Now this construct interacts with a Harbor Breeze ceiling fan using a file that contains the captured signal between the remote and the fan.

Oh joy.

HackRF One and Harbor Breeze Ceiling Fan

Using a software defined radio (SDR) program call GNURadio, I was able to control a Harbor Breeze ceiling fan from my computer. Imagine replacing "Harbor Breeze" with "Mercedes Key Fob". How secure is your car?

PS: I followed the instructions here to install GNURadio on Windows 10. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzrjkZJCBvI

Files were obtained from here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1E-fl3C55wpAZyqESjt1S5UyDY5Q_1sy2/view

Most of the wheel files were installed with pip install [package name], e.g.:

pip install lxml

pip install numpy

pip install PyQt5

pip install PythonQwt

pip install Cheetah3

pip install PyOpenGL

pip install setuptools==3.8.1

pip install PyGTK

Finally GNURadio was installed from http://www.gcndevelopment.com/gnuradio/downloads.htm
