Packets sent on multiple streams if your monitoring wireless interface has lower number of radioĮx: A 802.11n data packet sent on 3 streams at 450Mb/s won’t be seen if your 802.11n monitoring interface has only 2 Rx radios (very common with Windows machine or Airpcap dongles.Packets sent on multiple streams but one or more streams can’t be decoded.Malformed packets at the 802.11 preamble level (due to interference, low signal or bad antenna position).Packets of an adjacent channel can be heard.Įx: a packet sent on channel 10 can be captured by monitor mode in channel 11.All bad FCS 802.11 packets are seen, as long as the 802.11 preamble is valid.All valid 802.11 packets heard by the radio on the frequency, encrypted or not.OSI model level: Physical (PHY) Layer + Data Link Layer (Mac).Connection state: Must be disassociated of any network, but configured with a specific channel & channel width (20 – 160MHz).Monitor mode is enabled, link-layer header is now 802.11 & a pseudo radiotap header added by WiresharkĮncrypted 802.11n data packet captured in monitoring mode on Channel 116. Monitoring mode works specifically for Wi-Fi, allowing to capture packets at the 802.11 radio level, not at the Ethernet level anymore.

Packets not seen: Bad FCS packets: dropped by the network interface before the capture library can be aware of them.Packets seen: depends off the promiscuous mode.Lowest protocol seen: Ethernet (IEEE 802.3).Connection state: Wire: cable plugged (!) / Wireless: associated to an Access Point or ad-hoc network.With or without promiscuous mode, Ethernet packet capture works with:

Typically, Debookee NA module must put the interface in promiscuous mode to see intercepted packets from other devices like an iPhone because the destination MAC address is the iPhone’s one, not our own MAC address.

Packets destined to another layer 2 network interface.

So, you won’t see packets sent to another MAC address on your network if you sniff with a hub or a tap

Packets destined to your network interface.

Ethernet at the top, after pseudo header “Frame” added by Wireshark SIP packet captured in non-promiscuous mode. See the link-layer set to Ethernet and monitor mode disabled Promiscuous mode is usually supported and enabled by default. Using Wireshark, the capture interface options show that you could capture Ethernet packets with or without promiscuous mode. Promiscuous mode is not a packet capture mode, it’s an option of Ethernet packet capture. While speaking with network professionals about Debookee Wi-Fi Monitoring (WM) module, I’ve discovered that promiscuous mode is commonly confused with monitoring mode, although they operate on different media, layers & protocols.
