Hi, I have others conected to my wifi network, I don't have physical access to their machines but I want to be able to view all packets that's going through my wifi; is this possible? In fact, I only want to view remote traffic going through my wifi, not my own. asked 19 Jan '15, 07:51  Triodysin |
One Answer:
There are a couple of options. First, if your Wireless Access Point can span traffic to one of it's ports that could work. However, most Access Points can't do this. That is really the only option to get all traffic that goes through your Wireless network. The second option is to get a wireless NIC that supports Monitor mode (Macs do), place it near the access point and run Wireshark. If you don't want any of the Mac's traffic to go out/get captured you can disabled your TCP stack. Here is how you do that on a Mac: System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Change "Configure IPV4" from "Using DHCP" to "Off" Hope this helps. answered 20 Jan '15, 15:35  patrick_harrold |
