I need your help! The new M1 Macs seems to have broken wireless packet capture. Macs have been a go to tool for many wireless engineers because of the ease of native wireless pcaps. Now, it’s broken.
Can y'all help a brother out and do some testing on your M1s and see if you're getting the same results?
Even better, can you SEND me your pcap (if you are so inclined)?
Thanks! 😃
Due to a recent “snafu” with my Omnipeek licensing, I was on the hunt for multi-channel packet capture alternatives. I believe these two options are currently the best and easiest way, to do this on Windows.
Yes, you can do this with the Ekahau Sidekick, but a.) it requires a Sidekick, and 2.) you can really only do two channels (any more and the two internal NICs start channel hopping). Below are the items you'll need.
Basic intro on how to do a wireless (Wi-Fi) packet capture on Windows, on the cheap, using Wireshark 3.0 and the Netgear A6210. IMPORTANT STUFF!👇
01:54 - Wireshark installation particulars.
04:01 - Supported NICs
07:05 - Putting NIC in RF Monitor Mode
09:31 - Setting the channel to capture on
IMPORTANT! You MUST install the Netgear drivers, to you will not be able to capture on any UNII-2 channels. Download the drivers here - https://tinyurl.com/y23xdl3r

What does it does:
Best of all the app is FREE!
