using phone as a wifi adapter

[ilyas001]

hello guys well , i(m using virtual machine so i can't use wifi connection on the guest OS , and because i can't buy a adapter i had the idea to just use my phone as a adapter for my virtual machine , the thing is that it is reconsidered as a lan network and not a wifi one so it doesn't work ,any ideas of the problem ?

you have tethering enabled? is it over bluetooth or usb?

in my experience I ended up using clockwork mod software to enable a software tether between phone and machine

 

more details are helpful, like what you've tried, or screenshots

it won't be directly considered as an adapter, but it should say you have a network connection or that one is available based on what your phone is connected to

if you need the software on your computer as well you may have to download it through the phone first then transfer it over to install, it can be an arduous process

being a VM doesn't prevent you using the WiFi adapter, you just got to configure your network right.

why does it need to be wifi? if you're worried about the connection to a given signal you control that from your phone...

getting it working is about the extent of my expertise

I see, you're going to probably need a bit more than your phone for proper packet monitoring if that's how you're going about it, my suggestion is build a kali-linux raspberry instead, much better over a phone solution for more hacking purposes than just getting access

 

also consider buying a pony express??? just thoughts
