## SYNOPSIS

**airmon-zc** \<start\|stop\> \<interface\> \[channel\] **airmon-zc** \<check\> \[kill\]

## DESCRIPTION

**airmon-zc** is script can be used to enable monitor mode on wireless interfaces. It may also be used to go back from monitor mode to managed mode. Entering the airmon-zc command without parameters will show the interfaces status.

## OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

- *check \[kill\]*

  List all possible programs that could interfere with the wireless card. If 'kill' is specified, it will try to kill all of them.
