Software: Wireshark Is it possible to analyse Wireless Packet captures on VMWare using Linux Ubuntu OS? I ask this as I’m using Windows for my computer but I’m struggling to get all the information I need so I’ve had to resort to a virtual machine.
On windows, wireless packet captures will appear as if they were on a wired network (the 802.11 header is replaced by an Ethernet II) It is possible to capture raw 802.11 traffic on Windows, but only a small number of network cards support it. I’ve been told It is much easier to capture 802.11 raw data using Linux or a MAC compute
Thanks
