Isn't this expected behaviour? You are killing items like DHClient, Network-manager and WPA supplicant (which manages the wifi connection). Of course its gonna kick you off when you kill it! :D

If you don't want to use kill you can just set the card to monitor mode instead of using airmon start.

ifconfig wlan0 down; iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor; ifup wlan0

Correct Senni, that's the "manual" way.

"airmon-ng check kill && airmon-ng start" gets the job done, but on new/recent WiFi firmware / drivers like the rtl8812/14au package & other fresh ones the manual needs to be used in order to put it in monitor mode.

  • snallam123: the check kill is used to kill other processes that impacts performance (& etc) of your objective with the monitor mode.
