How to install ALFA AWUS036ACH, AWUS1900, AWUS036AC on Kali Linux 2020.3 w/ monitor mode & injection

The Alfa AWUS036ACH, AWUS1900, and AWUS036AC can run with monitor mode and injection support on Kali Linux 2020.3. But Github has a new driver package for Realtek RTL8812AU and RTL8814AU based devices that is different from past versions. We have a new video showing how to do the driver download and installation.

    Follow the following steps using a freshly installed latest Kali 2020.4 and the latest rtl8812au (origin/v5.6.4.2).

    ┌──(c0d3ki113r㉿xps)-[~/Code/rtl8812au]
    └─$ uname -r
    5.9.0-kali1-amd64

    Note it’s outputting the kali1 and not kali4.

    ┌──(c0d3ki113r㉿xps)-[~/Code/rtl8812au]
    └─$ apt-get update -y && apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get dist-upgrade -y
    … … …

    Once the update is done, REBOOT the computer.

    ┌──(c0d3ki113r㉿xps)-[~/Code/rtl8812au]
    └─$ uname -r
    5.9.0-kali4-amd64

    It’s not outputting the expected kali4.
    The following command will now download the correct headers:

    ┌──(c0d3ki113r㉿xps)-[~/Code/rtl8812au]
    └─$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libelf-dev linux-headers-`uname -r`
    … … …

    Then make should now work well.

    ┌──(c0d3ki113r㉿xps)-[~/Code/rtl8812au]
    └─$ make
    … … …

    Install using sudo.

    ┌──(c0d3ki113r㉿xps)-[~/Code/rtl8812au]
    └─$ sudo make install
    … … …

    Enjoy :-)

    Hi there. Thanks for all the great information.

    Second the request for update for Kali 2020.4. The AWUS036ACH is totally broken on this version and no older versions are available anywhere.

    So I’m dead in the water. Any assistance you can offer would be appreciated.
