Captive Portal attack hangs on AP service start. about fluxion

[MPX4132]

Ok cool, now we know it's an issue with hostapd only. Check what happens when you try running hostapd manually. Get the configuration file, either from /tmp/fluxspace or from the fluxion directory, depending on what commit version you're on. The file is called either APService.conf or MACADDRESS-hostapd.conf. You'll need to run fluxion and try to start the attack with hostapd so that the configuration file is generated. Once you've got the configuration file, and fluxion is still running trying to start hostapd, run the following command:

# hostapd /path/to/file/APService.conf

Post the results of the command here.

I think I found the bug. Check to see if this slightly older version works for you: https://github.com/FluxionNetwork/fluxion/tree/1aa3d96c8abb61922ad01bbab6235910570fa827

Check if only hostapd is affected by trying to use airbase-ng. If airbase-ng works, we can narrow it down to hostapd.

[SiNaPsEr0x]

yes on airbase-ng run correctly! but hostpad why not? and many window xterm remaining open after attack... fix it

when fluxion is running:

root@kali:~/Scrivania# hostapd A0:4F:D4:B7:^^^^-hostapd.conf

when fluxion is off and run hostapd:

[MPX4132]

Did you run the command while fluxion was running the attack?

[SiNaPsEr0x]

yes.. the first part of post ^
error and dont start

[MPX4132]

Try creating the virtual interface yourself. First pick a wireless interface and start it as a monitor:

# airmon-ng start wlanX

That should create a new interface, such as wlanXmon.
Next, create a second virtual interface (in monitor mode) with the original monitor interface:

iw dev wlanXmon interface add wlanXap type monitor

Post the results here. It could be your driver doesn't support virtual interfaces, which is why we're going to try this. Has fluxion with hostapd ever worked with that wireless card?

root@kali:~# airmon-ng start wlan0

Found 3 processes that could cause trouble.
If airodump-ng, aireplay-ng or airtun-ng stops working after
a short period of time, you may want to run 'airmon-ng check kill'

Ok, now try running hostapd with those interfaces you made, without starting fluxion (keep it closed). Make sure your interfaces are all still up by running:

# iwconfig

wlan0mon should exits and should be in monitor mode, and wlan0ap should also still exist and be in monitor mode. If they're still there, launch the same command from earlier:

# hostapd /path/to/APService.conf

If hostapd starts successfully, there's a very high chance it's a problem with fluxion. If it throws an error, there's a high chance it's a problem with your driver.

It's extremely likely you've got a driver issue. I have a similar issue with a card using the rtl8192cu driver. I can't even bring it to monitor mode. As a last resort you can run:

export FLUXIONDropNet=1; ./fluxion

That's the last I can help you with.

[SiNaPsEr0x]

https://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=3751 there is not my problem but of kali

[MPX4132]

Yeah, seems like it’s a driver issue. I’m closing this thread. I suggest using Atheros cards, I’ve never had any issues with them. Good luck.
