Data frames

Open stern0m1 opened this issue 8 years ago • 3 comments

Is this supposed to pickup data frames or just management frames? I only see it picking up management frames like when scanning it connecting but not just data frames once connected. Thanks

It picks up all frames in the 2.4ghz range within the selected channel.

I don't notice an increase in activity while browsing the internet vs not browsing or actually shutting off WiFi on my phone. I only notice an increase in activity when connecting or scanning. Regards B hirsch

the sniffer function has the following code:

void sniffer(uint8_t *buf, uint16_t len) {
  pkts++;
  if (buf[12] == 0xA0 || buf[12] == 0xC0) {
    deauths++;
  }
}

It seems that uses all the packets. It could be a hardware limitation.
