Not working for RPi3

[Former user]

An error is reported - Operation not supported (-95), within the run.sh script for the iw command (i.e., creating the monitoring mode). Any suggestions?

Not really. I haven't played with the code in ages. There seems to be a good number of folks that do though. Perhaps one of them will stumble upon this question and be able to provide you some info. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Hi Anonymous User - I play w/ this stuff from time to time, can you show "bash -x run.sh" ?

I don't recall the exact issues, but had problems w/ "iw" pushing the interface to mon mode in the past, and had used "airmon-ng", but find that iwconfig works fairly reliably. KEEP IN MIND THIS HASN'T BEEN TESTED ON THE RPI3/your interface .. but try this version of "run.sh":

#!/bin/bash
# run WUDS
#  -- uses first wireless interface if IFACE isn't set in config

IFACE=`grep IFACE config.py | cut -d'=' -f 2 | sed "s/['\" ]//g"`

if [ "$IFACE" == "" ]; then 
    IFACE=`iwconfig 2>&1 | grep IEEE | cut -d" " -f 1`; 
    fi

sudo ifconfig $IFACE down
#sudo iw dev $IFACE interface add $IFACE type monitor
iwconfig $IFACE mode mon
sudo ifconfig $IFACE up
sudo python ./core.py
sudo ifconfig $IFACE down
