papaschtroumpf Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 What kind of software can I use to sniff 802.11b packets with my Orinico card? I want to see individual packets, not just locate APs a la wardriving. Ideally I'd like to see 802.11 control and management packets (ACKs, Probes, ....) but I don't know if there are drivers that do that. At a minimum I would like to see raw 802.11 packets in promiscuous mode. I would like to inclide this on a live CD so I could turn my laptop into a wireless sniffer. At work I use NAI sniffer and AiroPeek Netsasyst but those tools are way too expensive for personal use and debugging my own 802.11b projects.

kmack Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 (edited) Take a look at ethereal. Should be on the Mandrake ISO's. I think it might do what you need. I'm a real novice at wireless but this will help you see net traffic that is going on. Edited June 29, 2004 by kmack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
