Hello everyone,

I'm currently working on a personal project to practice network pen-testing skills using Wipwn for Wi-Fi auditing. Since the core tools require root access (a crucial step that beginners often overlook), I'm running into some kernel issues on my spare phone.

My goal is to find the most stable combination for ethical, non-production testing.

My Current Setup & Issues:

• Device: Older Android device dedicated purely to security testing.

• Tools: Wipwn, Aircrack-ng (via Termux from F-Droid).

• The Problem: I'm struggling with Monitor Mode dropping out, which seems to be a common issue when trying to get the wireless card to behave with custom ROMs.

My Questions for the community:

1. For those of you running proper monitor-mode auditing on a spare rooted phone, what specific custom ROMs or kernels have you found to be the most reliable for running these network tools via Termux?

2. Did you find it more stable to run these tools directly in a Termux terminal or inside a separate Proot/Chroot environment (like Kali Nethunter)?

Looking to compare notes before I spend another day trying to get the driver compiled correctly. Any specific technical advice on achieving a stable setup is appreciated!
