Question

So, I’m running Ubuntu Linux on my laptop, and Android 4.0.4 on my mobile (I don’t think this is relevant, but just in case). I’ve got my laptop unassociated from any networks, and my mobile is on my network and has been assigned (by DHCP) the IP of 192.168.0.109.

On my laptop, I did this:
ifconfig wlan0 down && airmon-ng start wlan0 && ifconfig wlan0 up .. this created my mon0 interface for promiscuous mode, if I’m not mistaken.

I fired up Wireshark, attached it to mon0 and assigned a display filter of ip.addr == 192.168.0.109, go back to my mobile, and navigate to a few websites. I get absolutely nothing.

The step listed here – unable to read packets captured from wifi network using wireshark – do not help either.

Anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong? 🙁

Thanks!

Answer 1

The problem I was having was that the wifi card I was using wasn’t giving errors when I switched modes, but it didn’t support them none-the-less.

Using another card worked.

Thanks!
