Hi, I want to monitor traffic coming from iphone connected to my wireless network. My Modem+wireless router is Motorola SBG901 and I am on windows laptop. When I run wireshark, It just shows interfaces for my laptop, does not show iphone interface. Is my router capable of this type of sniffing? Can someone please tell me how to do this, without requiring any configuration on iphone? Thanks asked 09 May '12, 20:12  Lex edited 09 May '12, 20:15 |
One Answer:
If you were trying to do this with just the wireless interface of your laptop you will have a problem. You will need an AirPcap adapter to pull that off. Otherwise You won't see the iphone traffic unless you are 'tapped' in to the AP or in between the handhoff from the router to the rest of your network with a mirrored switch (eg Dual-Comm) or hub. They are easy enough to spot via the MAC resolutions - I see them all the time. Eric answered 09 May '12, 20:40  EricKnaus |
Can I simply monitor traffic leaving my router? I have admin access to it.
