Frequent Issues

WiFi Adapters/Cards

  • owt does not support all USB network adapters. If you run into this try using your computers internal WiFi card or try another adapter.
  • Make sure the WiFi-card/adapter you are using supports monitor mode.
  • When owt is started up it will automatically detect the currently used wireless interface. There is currently no option to select a different wireless interface. This means you need to start owt while using the interface you want to use for preforming attacks.

Windows WSL

  • owt may not run properly on windows sub system for linux

Virtual Machine Environments

  • owt does not currently support the use within VM environments. This will be fixed in later updates but is not priority.
  • This is caused by the fact that a Virtual Machine bridges your connection via Ethernet and Ethernet is not currently supported in owt.

Sudo Privileges

  • owt requires root privileges so make sure you run it as super user.
  • Root privileges are required to preform wireless attacks as well as scanning networks. owt has very limited functionality when root privileges are not active, which is why they are required.

Internet Connectivity and DNS

  • owt requires internet in order to make updates. If DNS can not be established then owt will skip updates and continue to the main menu.
  • You do not need Internet Connectivity to preform wireless attacks.

Earlier Versions

  • Not all versions of owt are stable. There is currently 5 versions that are stable and they are listed under "tags" on the main page. Updating to the newest version of owt is often best as bug fixes will occur.

Troubleshoot Option

Run the troubleshoot.sh file in the owt directory.
