its ok just admit you were mistaken and move on. you basically insinuated in your post that there was no way this could work in windows. If I was going to spend money, I'd save and just buy one from Cace: Īny card on any platform is capable of monitor mode if theres a driver written for it. I am also not going to pay for a Commview license to use my wifi card in monitor mode when I can easily use Linux to do the same thing.
Again as I stated above, you need a driver written for your card to do it as the default windows drivers do not do monitor mode. ( )My Linksys card will nto workwith Commview, so while it is nice for prism2 chipsets, not all cards are going to work with it and not with the DEFAULT windows drivers.
You must install a special driver for your adapter.Īnd only if the card is compatible with their driver. The list of compatible adapters can be found at. Do I need special hardware to use CommView for WiFi?Ī. If you want to use windows, then you need to do something like a MITM to see someone elses traffic with wireshark. In short, if you want to capture in monitor mode, use linux. Linux does this for most wifi adapters, but only if they support it and the driver is written for the specific card. Airpcap works, but again, because the driver is written for their hardware. A driver would have to be written for it to do that, and windows just doesn't seem to support it at this time.
Windows does not do monitor mode by default. Using the USB version of backtrack3 I can successfully capture packets in wireshark so I know the wifi is compatable.ĭo I need to find a madwifi driver for windows XP and then run a command to put it into monitor mode or will I have to go and buy an AirPcap usb adapter so that I can capture in a windows enviroment? I have a HP nc4000 laptop with a w400 wifi adapter built in - this has the atheros chipset My question is about data capture in windows : My mouse is all clicked out looking for answers so I thought I would post a question here This is my first post so I just wanna start by saying well done to all the HAK5 team for an excellent technical resource.even with the beer Ads :o)
