Wifi monitor mode with Kali in ec2?

0

When I ssh into Kali image ec2 instance from my windows 10 Lenovo Thinkpad, no wifi adapter is shown for intel dualband wireless ac 8260 which is in the motherboard, not external USB wifi adapter. I'm a beginner please help. Is it not possible to put my wifi in monitor mode using ec2 instance??

Hi AWS-User-7198048,

I understand that you are attempting to enable Monitor Mode using your Kali Linux EC2 instance.

When an EC2 instance is launched, the default Elastic Network Interface (ENI), or virtual network card (eth0), is created and handles all traffic sent and received from the instance. To collect data packets sent through WiFi, Kali Linux Monitor Mode requires a wireless adapter that supports it. You can attach more ENIs to your EC2 instances, but no WiFi or wireless adapters (wlan0). Most laptops, tablets, and mobile phones have built-in WiFi adapters, but making your local WiFi at home or in an office accessible to an EC2 instance is not a functionality provided by Amazon Web Services.

If you would like a way to log and analyze network traffic on your instance, you can try using Amazon VPC Traffic Mirroring [1][2] and monitor traffic using CloudWatch [3]. You can also look into using other popular network analyzer tools such as tcpdump and Wireshark.
