I was looking at the Kali Linux 2017.1 Release notes and saw that they included drivers for the RTL8812AU chipset (802.11AC) that support packet injection. That really caught my interest so I immediately placed on order for yet another Alfa card the AWUS036ACH. I purchased it through Amazon where it was $54 with prime shipping the last week of April.
The adapter arrived and came with the antennas, USB cable, and a little clip mount that I've yet to try out. Overall, the quality is what I've come to expect from Alfa and I've had no issues with it.

Setup was fairly painless and I've included the basic steps below:

This is meant to supplement the aircrack-db test database for the newer Alfa cards,I’ve had a chance to test for injection in the 802.11.ac spectrum. Apt install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms Working cards.
- Install the drivers in Kali
- apt-get update
- apt install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms
2. *Set your USB compatibility to USB 3.0. I had to do this for VMware Fusion 8.5.6 for the adapter to function properly. Nero 5 serial number free download.
Rtl8812au Aircrack-ng
3. Once the device is showing up as an interface (iwconfig and in my case it was wlan0) you want to run airmon-ng check kill per the wireless driver troubleshooting guide which will check for processes that might interfere with the aircrack-ng suite and then kills them.
4. Put the device into monitor mode by running 'iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor'
Rtl8812au Aircrack
5. Test out injection by running 'aireplay-ng wlan0 -9'

Now that I've verified that it works I need to setup an 802.11AC access point for further testing.
