A number of processes can interfere with Airmon-ng. Using the check option will display any
processes that might be troublesome and the check kill option will kill them for you.

root@kali:~# airmon-ng check

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'

Enable monitor mode (start) on the given wireless interface (wlan0), fixed on channel 6. A new
interface will be created (wlan0mon in our case), which is the interface name you will need to
use in other applications.

root@kali:~# airmon-ng start wlan0 6

PHY Interface Driver Chipset

phy0 wlan0 ath9k_htc Atheros Communications, Inc. AR9271 802.11n

(mac80211 monitor mode vif enabled for [phy0]wlan0 on [phy0]wlan0mon)


(mac80211 station mode vif disabled for [phy0]wlan0)

The stop option will destroy the monitor mode interface and place the wireless interface back
into managed mode.
