airmon-ng did not find any wireless interfaces

Question

I try to start wifite on VMware (Kali) but doesnt work, is there a possibility to use the local network card (Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3168) to let search the VM for available networks?

This is the error message i received:

Solution

sudo apt-get install pyrit
sudo apt-get install hcxdumptool
sudo apt-get install hcxtools

and say yes to everything. After that, all recommended apps have been installed.

Unless passed to the VM the actual network connection doesn't matter because virtualization will use an emulated Ethernet connection which is not compatible with the use you want. But if using Kali you should know that and a lot more already.
