WPA decoding problems

0

Hi all,

I'm having troubles with WiFi decoding, WPA2 decoding, to be precise.

I'll explain situation that I have. I'm having WiFi chip on one side with AP set on it, protected with WPA2. And android App on the other side, ASCII is sent to chip, and is received as ASCII. I want to read those ASCII on my Ubuntu laptop. I'm seeing communication between those two, but I can't read ASCII. I have tried to follow decoding 802.11 article, but without success. Actually, I don't have the same GUI, so I tried with using WPA-pwd key with 123:MyWiFI, and 123 passwords, neither helped.

Can you please tell me what am I doing wrong?

When I'm using monitor mode, I see LLC protocol, and when not I'm seeing 802.11 or vice versa, I'm not sure right now.

Thank you,

Bojan

Do you see any protocols on top of LLC? I.e., is there anything after LLC?

No, nothing...

I have checked, I see LLC if LLH is set to Ethernet, and 802.11 if it's set to 802.11 plus radio header. I have catch once TCP protocol (which is actual protocol), but I have no idea how, and anyhow it was also encrypted, so that didn't help...
