OR, you could just get a Mac and do it natively. OmniPeek ($2k WiFiNigel shows how to use a WLANPi as an external packet capture device for Windows ($75 US). now supports native Windows Monitor Mode! - ( List of supported NICs) ($800.00 US) Also, will soon have support for WLAN-Pi! TamoSoft CommView ($499 US) (Thanks Eye P.A. Linux and MacOS have been the only ways to cheaply get access to RF Monitor mode without spendy software and hardware, like Omnipeek and the AirPcap Nx.īut, not everyone uses Linux, or Mac OS. Fortunately, and fairly recently, there are more and more ways to get RF Monitor mode in Windows. Here are some relatively inexpensiveoptions (NOT an exhaustive list) to perform an RF Monitor Mode wireless packet capture in Windows using relatively inexpensive hardware. You’d be lucky to find a used one on eBay. Only install drivers if you are qualified to do so. And the AirPcap NX is no longer manufactured. is not responsible for any damages or losses that may arise from incorrect driver installation. And for years, AirPcap Nx was the main NIC folks used for pcap'ing WLANs with Wireshark. Note that older versions of macOS might not support 2.5GB Ethernet. Supports jumbo frames up to 9000 bytes (strongly recommended for 2.5GBit operation). There are some great tools out there like OmniPeek (which I use), the gold standard for Windows packet analysis. Support for TCP/IPv4, UDP/IPv4, TCP/IPv6 and UDP/IPv6 checksum offload. Using the Download Link below, download and extract the new firmware to a convenient place such as your desktop. Win XP/Vista 32/64 bits driver version: 5.1.12.37 Versions Included: V1.0.0.25 New Features and Enhancements: Initial Release. In Windows, you cannot effectively analyze wireless frames, because you are unable to put the wireless NIC in 'RF Monitor Mode' - that is the mode in which the wireless NIC can see ALL 802.11 frames in the air, not just ones intended for itself.
