Hello,

That's because you need to tell it what to do. Type the following:
A more common way to start monitor mode is as follows:
Hope this helps!

They don't make a virtual wireless do they?

It depends. If the wireless device is USB you are able to pass it through to the guest OS. The current version of Virtualbox even has experimental support to do that with PCI-devices.

i've written airmon-ng --help and the terminal gives me:

usage: airmon-ng <start|stop|check> <interface> [channel of frequency]


i need to discover something under interface chipset and driver typing airmon-ng... i don't know how to do... i've checked a guide on youtube that says to go on virtual machine - removable devices - disable "network adapter" and enable my wireless adapter... unfortunately in the interface i've only "network adapter" and not my wireless adapter (something like realtek wireles...) so i can't enable it.

if i disable network adapter and i type airmon-ng i've nothing below... help me pleaseeee

We need more information from you:
1. Which virtualization software do you use in which version?
2. Is your wireless a USB or a PCI device?

for virtualisation i use vmware player and i think that my wireless device is a PCI because i'm using a notebook hp pavilion

Could you post the output of lspci for us?

VMware Player isn't capable of passing PCI devices through to the guest OS, so you will not get that running. Either get yourself an USB wireless device or install Linux natively on your physical hardware.

I hope you're not trying to crack my home wifi!

noooooo why you think so??
so i need to install linux in my notebook??

Yes, or at least run it as live-medium, but you have to run it on your physical hardware.

To the OP - I would personally go the live cd route, then see how you like it. I completely forgot in my last post that you are running it virtually; Definitely run it natively and post the output of the command I asked before. Most likely, it will work when it is not being ran via virtual box or whatever software that you are using.

Out of curiosity: what's the background of the request?
What do you need aircrack for?
