   git clone https://github.com/poseydonianexe/Monitor-Managed-mode-changer.git
   cd Monitor-Managed-mode-changer
   chmod +x monitor-mode.py

2. Then run the code

Modes (manual or cli)

We have two modes. You can see these in help menu

┌──(.venv)─(user㉿user)-[~]
└─$ ./monitor-mode.py -h      
Usage: monitor-mode.py [options]

Options:

  -i INTERFACE  Enable/Disable Monitor mode

This is list of them:

• Manual mode

 ./monitor-mode.py

: In manual mode, you can see list of active interfaces like this:

┌──(.venv)─(user㉿user)-[~]
└─$ ifconfig -s

Select the interface :: (Target interface)

Then program does it automatically. If your device is in managed mode, program changes it to manual mode or vice versa.

• Normal mode

  ./monitor-mode.py -i <interface>

  : In normal mode, just write text -i <interface name> after the program name. Then program does it automatically. If your device is in managed mode, program changes it to manual mode or vice versa.

Each mode chaning time you see this kind of text:

Enabled monitor mode in  wlan1

or

Enabled manager mode in  wlan1

Nowadays I have problems in enabling monotor mode. I write this code and put it on Github to help you. If you heve any issue raleated with code, start an isseue on Github using this link
