One Answer:
You might consider using 'airodump-ng' (http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=airodump-ng) instead of wireshark for capturing wireless-traffic. First you need to know the BSSID and also the channel the WLAN is running on. First start with a simple one like this: airodump-ng wlan0 You'll easily see the channel and the BSSID of your accesspoint. Now adjust the following cmd with the just gathered information and analyze the "ap_linksys.cap" with wireshark afterwards. airodump-ng --bssid 00:11:22:33:44:55 -c 7 -w ap_linksys wlan0 answered 25 Mar '13, 00:30  pfuender |
i want to capture wireless-traffic how to use airodump in wireshark? please guide me..........
airodump is a seperate tool. As stated in the above commandline, it will output all the captured traffic in the file 'ap_linksys', which you can then can just open with wireshark and analyze.
