Hello, How would one go about identifying an access point when looking at packets through wireshark? From what I understand, it's the source mac adresss of a Beacon frame(which would also be the BSSID), is that right?

Thanks!
Just to be completely clear, in terms of beacon frames, by sender are you referring to the Transmitter adress or Source adress from the IEEE 802.11 Beacon frame packet header?
correct .
So Transmitter adress and Source adress are identical in this situation? My question was which one was it, source or transmitter heh.
For a beacon frame in 802.11, the transmitter address and the Source address are the same.
