[ATTN DEVS]Monitor Mode Working on BCM4330 Chipset w/Aircrack - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey guys im reposting this here, original thread can be found here
Since the Galaxy Nexus has the same wlan chipset as the Nexus S and Galaxy S2 we should be able to get this working as well, would love to see kernel dev's implement this functionality to all kernels!

Greetings,
We are a group of 3 researchers and in the last few weeks we have successfully added "monitor mode" support to the common broadcom wifi chipsets: BCM4329 and BCM4330. We have a working PoC on Galaxy S 2 and Nexus One.
We opened a new blog with all of the details at:
http://bcmon.blogspot.com
For the lazy ones the current status is:
bcm4329 - Fully working monitor mode on our Nexus One
bcm4330 - successful PoC - monitor mode on Galaxy S II
We havent tested it yet, but if you have a phone with one of those chipsets (and you most probably have one), it should also work on your phone too.
We would appreciate any comments on the forum or to our mail "contact dot bcmon at gmail dot com"
Its been a long day (with little sleep) so good night/morning and enjoy
Ruby, Yuval and Omri
UPDATE: if you had wireless-tools errors with airodump-ng try the new utils.zip version.

Making our wifi chipset turn into monitor mode from AP (access point) mode, most of it for hacking, just like in linux by using a program called kismet.

Any News ??

I cant imagine even after capturing enough ivs that decrypting the key would be very fast. WEP could work but WPA shouldn't even be tried. Except most WPA passwords now are just 10 numeric characters which are default on most gateways today. I've noticed that most people in my area aren't configuring their routers on their own. Even not being wep, default WPA is just as vulnerable if you can get a handshake.

[TMOUS] Since S3 has wifi calling - can it be ripped and put into Galaxy Nexus?

Hi all,
Since the Galaxy S3 has now been released on TMOUS, can the setup/framework/etc be ported onto the GSM Galaxy Nexus?
Is that a reasonable expectation?
There is a lot of FUD going around about how the wifi calling is device-specific and cannot be ported to any device.
I can understand that to a certain extent but the S3 and Galaxy Nexus have a lot of similar innards from what I understand so I wanted to revisit the situation.
Short answer: no because of the ril.

Don't see it happening. The SGSIII and GNex actually don't have a lot in common in terms of insides.

This actually isn't relevant anymore. Since T-Mobile switched to IMS it no longer requires custom IRL/Kernel to authenticate over GAN.
IMS has already been open sourced: see imsdroid or andoird-ims
This should/could be supported in any current version of Android if someone took the time to figure this out and hand the know-how to do so.
Unfortunately, I am not that person, but I think this could be realized considering the information available.
I have confirmed with T-Mobile that this requires an IMS SIM card, which they have just shipped to me for free (Arrives Friday). Other than that, it should be handled at the application level.
This may be of some use to someone:

Android beam SUCKS!

Google screwed android beam, i was super excited to learn android beam had been updated to share pictures and even videos on jellybean, but guess what? android beam just activates bluetooth! and you send pictures and videos using bluetooth they take ages to transfer , how come the galaxy s iii use wifidirect ( with their marketing name "s-beam" ) ? so silly
Isnt there a way to force android beam to use wifi direct instead of bluetooth?
WiFi direct is in there along with Android beam
Samsungs S3 brings all three
WiFi direct
Android beam
S Beam

Is your friend's S3 running jelly bean?? I thought picture sharing was only available with Jelly Bean if you're using GNex's beam feature. I understand the S3 has S Beam but that won't work if you try to pair with a GNex, right?
Yep he is. You guys really should do research before creating forum topics.. Android beam uses NFC not Bluetooth. S-beam while yes using WiFi direct, the s3 also has the ability to share content through NFC.

Where is the Wifi Direct setting in JB? I don't see it.
Nvm...found it in the Wifi settings.
I have to agree Android Beam is stupid slow. It took almost a full minute to transfer a 2mb image from one GNex to another.

It is a chip stored in a battery do you expect it to take 2 seconds to transfer?

Maybe not 2... but less than 10. 1 MB/s isn't unreasonable though so yeah, he probably does expect that.

Maybe you should do some research as well.
In Jellybean:
Android Beam uses NFC as a matchmaker and transfer for basic things like URLs. For images, it is a matchmaker for BT.
NFC initiates connection and BT transfers.
NFC is too slow to transfer images. Are you really going to hold your devices together while you transfer a ~3+mb image for that long?
Max speed for NFC (standardized) 424Kbps. Slowest is 106. I have no idea which speed the Gnex uses, but its probably NOT the top end speed.

I've transferred several mb images in a few seconds from my Gnex to N7. However it is wonky. The matchmaking process has issues. It took me 4 tries to get it to work to my N7, and Gnex to Gnex, it hasn't worked at all.
And your point? A radio needs an antenna does it not? It's supposed to be used to share light files not megabits of files. It may not be much, but again were talking about something slower than Bluetooth.

Maybe you missed the features of Jellybean.
http://mashable.com/2012/06/29/jelly-bean-android-beam/
My point is, IT IS for transferring pictures but the transmission medium is not NFC like you said.
It uses Bluetooth.
Also, my point about the antenna being in the battery, not the NFC chip, is to correct your mostly wrong information in this thread. You can't be going and telling people to research while you post incorrect information yourself.
The SGSIII uses Android Beam with Wifi Direct and calls it S-Beam....so there has to be a way to do the same with the GNEX!
Btw when I tried transferring an image to a SGSIII, it popped up with an error about not supporting such a big file or something. But it transferred fine GNEX to GNEX.

Not without surgery. S-Beam uses wifi-direct as the matchmaker, Android Beam uses BT. It would likely take changes to the source code to fix it, and I don't believe Android Beam is completely open source.
Dear OP
You don' t say something sucks unless that item/services trully really sucks. In this case your GN since it's you that seems to have issues with it.
As far as Android Beam is concern everthing works fine. Perhaps it's time to get yours check?

WiFi direct

I am a bit confused. Saw the specs on some of the websites and some indicated that Galaxy nexus has WiFi direct whereas some indicated that it doesn't. Although I found WiFi direct settings in the settings menu, I am unsure how to use it. I mean, after connecting the galaxy Nexus to my laptop through WiFi direct, I can't find an option to share files through it. Please can someone help me out. Am I missing something?

I think this only works phone to phone. Like another phone with WiFi direct.

I forgot to mention that when I tried WiFi direct on my galaxy S2 and Note, it gave me a option to send files through WiFi direct in gallery and it worked flawlessly but on galaxy nexus neither does it gives me an option to send file through WiFi direct nor it is able to receive file from the other end.

So I have been struggling with this for a while but now have a solution. Our Galaxy Nexus has the capability to use it but you need an app to get it going for large files. URLs and small items will work, but pictures, videos and files need more.
WiFi Direct on the Galaxy Note and Galaxy S III uses NFC to establish the connection, but WiFi to send the material. On the Galaxy Nexus, it uses Bluetooth.
There is a WiFi direct app in the app store that you need to install to be able to send large files between the Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Note or Galaxy S IIIs.
You really have to fiddle around with it to get it to work but once it does, you can send videos and stuff from your Galaxy Nexus to a Galaxy Note or a Galaxy S III. Also, as far as I know, you have to have the app on BOTH devices.

Hello,
Is it the New Nexus 7 released in 2013?
If yes, I am not even aware it is available yet although I did read in the news that a man from China got it by mistake while shipping it from USA.
Do not tell me that you are that guy
Well, if you have the old model, Nexus 7 2012, then you have posted this in the wrong thread.
If you have the new Nexus 7, It depends that you can run custom roms or not. No one has seen the binaries or flash images for the New Nexus 7 so I can not say it might work or not. You might have to take the risk if you still want to try.
Also, I think unless LTE is integrated with some system files, you will be cool to go and not be able to use communications but that is still highly unlikely because from the old Nexus 7 LTE model, I know the source binaries were quite different.
You can even hard brick your device.
My advice, enjoy the LTE till it is official.
I work for a mobile company in the UK. So I have a final test one. A nexus 2013 LTE.

Probably never will make any voice calls, they so far go on overlaid 3g networks due to lots of upgrades required in the backhaul. Voip, ie. CSipSimple, is the way to go. And you will need a headset.
The Phone App is in the filesystem but doesn't show in the ui.
I'm hoping this will be different as it uses a different chip than the nexus 7 3g(2012)
The 2013 N7 LTE should be using a APQ8064-1AA + MDM9615A + WTR1605L,
which is very similar to the APQ8064 + MDM9615A + WTR1605L on the N4.
While it might be (hypothetically) possible for it to do so in hardware, it could still be disabled.
Both the N4 and 2013 N7's wifi/bt chips also support fm radio at the silicon level, but it's disabled at the chip level.
The LTE on the N4 is disabled at the firmware level (as the lte mod is due to leftover code, if it were not for that it doesnt have LTE period)
It could have voice calls disabled at the silicon level, chip level, firmware level, or rom level, since they can easily spec modems that have broken voice call support since it's not used in the first place.

Is WiFi really this bad?

Hey all. I'm temporarily using a galaxy nexus (man, I missed this device) but I've noticed some real flaky WiFi behavior. It constantly disconnects and reconnects. Not to mention the range ain't that great. Don't get me wrong--i know what a special device this is, I'm just wondering if b/c maybe its a few years old this is simply as good as it gets with the WiFi radio it has. I've been using the galaxy s4 for a bit but I just sold it and am waiting for the note 3. This nexus is my "back up" device.
Thanks.

WiFi isn't related to the radio. Its controlled by the kernel. And for the record my WiFi works fine.

I'm running paranoid android on 4.2.2. Can u recommend a good kernel for better WiFi performance? After a bit more testing yesterday I realize that the range is really the issue. If I'm close enough to my router I have no problems. But with my other phones I don't have this issue anywhere in my house. On this nexus tho, if I'm in my spare bedroom the WiFi goes in and out constantly.
Thanks again.

give it a try, check if your router uses the 5ghz band.
my router is capable of 2.4 and 5ghz using the same ssid for both.
always had the problem that my phone connected to the 5ghz and lost connection to wifi through 2 walls.
after setting it to 2.4ghz only it got better.

No release is bug free for me it fixed some anoying bugs like the data drops without bringing new ones.
