[Kernel][CM/AOSP][5.1.X/M][06 Dec] PwnKernel - Pwn The Networks - Base Franco/Despair - Nexus 6 Android Development

Let me introduce you to a new kernel, PwnKernel, Finally a kernel to Pwn Wifi Networks
Just to let you know that, whatever you do with the Kernel/Attacking is your own responsibility
If cats are starting to attack you and break your wifi dongle it's all your fault
Flashing a kernel is your own responsibility, if your music stops playing it's not my fault
I am doing this in my free time, I will gather whatever performance tweaks I can find.
Please don't request complete features as I won't implement those, just performance tweaks

Tested with the following roms:
Android 5.1 AOSP Euphoria
Android 5.1 CM Resurrection Remix
Android 6.0 (M) - JDX 3.0.4
Android 6.0 (M) - The Pure Nexus Project
How to use it
Plugin the usb dongle
So you got Linux Deploy working and you SSH'd into your distro ? good job!
You might want to install now the goodies and getting some good fun
There are loads of tutorials on google for Linux Deploy out there...
Want to verify it's working ? simply do "lsusb" or do "iwconfig" and see if wlan1 is available, if you see wlan1 on your phone that means it's working
Code:
sudo -i
apt-get install aircrack-ng
apt-get install mdk3
apt-get install reaver
apt-get install wifite
apt-get install fruitywifi
Now you're able to use your favorite tools :laugh:
Why would you want to install this kernel ?
This kernel is meant for people who wants to have their usb wifi dongle working in android
Not only that you would be able to put the wifi dongle in monitor mode and packet sniff all the packets in the air
You could kick people off the network/Internet even if you're not connected to the Access Point
You could crack and attack their Access Point by attacking WEP, WPA, WPA2, WPS etc...
If you always wanted +2 wifi's at the same time you're able to
No more need for a laptop, just a phone to be more mobile
Tested it in Kali Linux and it works fine and fast
And why more ? It just looks super awesome THAT'S WHY :laugh:

This is Amazing!
Props to the devs! I'll give it a try this weekend with my ALFA AWUS036H and check if it works.
Thanks for this!

Does the internal Wi-Fi interface support monitor mode?

Thanks for all the awesome comments so far

Where are your kexec patches?

Thanks for making it. I have installed your kernel. Any guide on how to use the said features on Nexus 6 ?

---

Thanks for the outstanding work. I've rooted and flashed your kernel, but I'm not sure how to test my AWUS036H. How did you get Kali on your N6? Any help is appreciated!

I was running Code_Blu and it was running great, flashed this and it made my phone as slow as a phone from 2011. Flashed back to Code_Blu with cache wipe, still slow. Did factory reset and flashed again with Code_Blu and still crawling slow. Flashed Lean Kernel and all is well. This was all with Pure Shamu 3.98, not sure what's going on, especially after factory wipe and Code_Blu was snappy before.

Sorry to hear this, I'm not sure what's going on with this as I'm running my kernel for a couple of days now and it's running just fine (no slow downs etc), I just did a antutu bench and the score was 52966 (higher then a Galaxy Note 4, one plus one etc)
Not much I can do about this obviously by just hearing this story

DragonHunt3r, did you actually test the functionality on the N6? I've searched around lots, and it appears that Kali is only most recently available for the N5 and N7 - nothing for the N6. Thanks!

---

How is this for normal/daily use??? As a Network Security student this is amazing! I just dont want to cripple my phone experience when not "playing around."

---

Out of the devices supported, could you recommend one? I'm about to buy a dongle...

---

Do you see adding USB OTG support , ExFat, and NTFS to the kernel?

You could try changing your governer from Conservative to Blu_active. The default governer is Conservative which was damn slow for me.

I always test if the kernel works, I have a nexus 6 myself and it works fine, I use Linux Deploy, so you can run kali, ubuntu etc

The ALFA Network AWUS036NEH is a low powered device and does a good job, it's having a better signal then the other dongles I support
When using the TP-LINK TL-WN722N I noticed there the power usage was alot more, as I kept plugging in more dongles on a usb hub the TP-LINK TL-WN722N usually didn't even light on when too many dongles were plugged in

I either have to wait and see if eng.stk will add it, it probably works already, not tested yet as I mostly use Total Commander for this stuff
