Capture Android WLAN traffic

0

Hello! I need to capture WLAN traffic on an Android tablet. I'm running Wireshark on a Windows 7 laptop. Can I capture this traffic using an AirPcap adapter, or is there a better solution?

You can indeed capture this traffic when using an AirPcap adapter. You can also boot your laptop into a linux live distribution (like Kali linux) to capture wlan traffic in monitor mode.
