Reach the rig โ€‹

Three independent paths in. Pick whichever fits your situation.

1. Wireless management AP (default) โ€‹

The Pi exposes a wifi network purely for managing it.

FieldValue
SSIDnosferato-mgmt
Passwordnosferato2026
Pi address10.10.10.1
DHCP range10.10.10.10โ€“50
sh
ssh nt@10.10.10.1   # password: nt

2. USB OTG tether โ€‹

Plug the inner micro-USB (the one closer to the HDMI port โ€” it's the data port; the outer one is power-only) into your machine.

The Pi appears as a virtual ethernet adapter:

FieldValue
Pi address192.168.7.1
DHCP range192.168.7.2โ€“20

If your OS doesn't grab DHCP automatically, set the client manually to 192.168.7.2/24, gateway 192.168.7.1, then:

sh
ssh nt@192.168.7.1

3. Whatever your IoT wifi gave it โ€‹

On first boot the Pi joins your IoT network as a normal client. Find its IP via your router admin or:

sh
arp -a | grep -i nosferato

Then SSH normally.

Once you're in โ€‹

You're nt. You have NOPASSWD sudo. You have:

sh
which aircrack-ng hcxdumptool nmap tshark bettercap
ip a                       # see uap0 (mgmt AP) + wlan0 (STA) + usb0 (tether)
sudo iw wlan0 set monitor control     # nexmon test
sudo iw wlan0 set type managed        # back to STA mode
