Hi guys,
I am working on a network analysis tool for a project in college, I am using airodump-ng to find all networks in the general area,
when I run the following command airodump-ng wlan0 --write tempfile --output-format' in the python script nothing gets created but when I run it manually a csv file with the output will be created
it does seem to be working now after I put my wireless card in
I changed the code a bit and made airodump-ng run in another thread
thanks

from subprocess import Popen,PIPE import sys,os import csv def execute_command(command): process = Popen(command,stdout=PIPE,stder=PIPE) return process.communicate() tempfile = "\root\Desktop\networks # instance of WPA class test_WPA created, only execute_command method is of relevance out,err = test_WPA.execute_command(['airodump-ng','wlan0','--write',tempfile,'--output-format','csv'])
it does seem to be working now after I put my wireless card in
I changed the code a bit and made airodump-ng run in another thread
command = ['airodump-ng','wlan0','--write',tempfile,'--output-format','csv'] thread = threading.Thread(target= test_WPA.execute_command,args= (command, )) thread.start() thread.join(1)the great thing it now creates the file, but the the process remains open I want the airodump-ng(thread) to stop running after 30 seconds, should set thread to be a daemon thread?? or is there another way I can get airodump to stop running after 30 seconds?
thanks
