Techniques

Common

ifconfig - show network interfaces iwlist <interface> s - scan the interface

Add IP to interface

ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.200 netmask 255.255.255.0

Where:

• wlan0 is the interface
• 192.168.1 is the network and 200 is the IP. We have 254 IPs available
• 255.255.255.0 is the netmask

Connect to a network

If we want to connect to a network, we can use wpa_supplicant:

wpa_passphrase WLAN_NAME PASSWORD > wpa_supplicant.conf
wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c wpa_supplicant.conf

Where:

• WLAN_NAME is the name of the network
• PASSWORD is the password
• -B runs in the background
