I recently installed Wireshark on my Windows 7 PC and noticed that most of the packets were either broadcast, multicast, or to/from my own machine. I want to capture packets from my iPhone. My PC is connected to the same wi-fi network that my iPhone is. Is there any way to get wireshark to read packets sent and received from another device on the same wireless network? Keep in mind I don't know a great deal of information about networking, so please explain how to do this in layman's terms. asked 01 Jan '17, 06:23  orchface |
One Answer:
It's complicated, especially on Windows, as you need to get the wireless interface into "Monitor Mode". See the wiki page on WLAN capture. answered 01 Jan '17, 06:28  grahamb ♦ |
Is your WIFI network listed in Windows as a "secure" one? If so, is it important to you that the iphone's traffic be captured in an unencrypted form?
