Packet sniffer that supports all wirelless connections. by Zeh on 09-04-2006 at 09:01 PM

The packet sniffer that Pai created is great but it has some problems with some wireless connections in wich it isn't able to make raw sockets. Can anyone make a packet sniffer that supports all wireless conections?

Wow, they added a lot [Image: msn_disappointed.gif]

If you must keep track of a thread, use the Subscribe link at the bottom of the page instead of posting, especially if you have nothing to add.

And as for this raw sockets biz, they should exist on wireless too, since the only difference between that and a wired connection is the physical hardware.

Well yeah. But that seems to be the problem that the other sniffer has with wireless conections. At least that's what i have read in some posts.

It is also many times the fault of the network drivers themself, you can't do anything about it except for installing another driver. Some drivers for wireless do not allow for it, simple as that.

That was my theory, but then the Live Notifier script worked on my wireless connection that Xniff and the others don't, and it surely must use packet sniffing. *-)

and that theory is still correct and still stands though....

Some drivers do make it impossible for whatever method you use.

However that doesn't mean there are no other methods you can use to actually make the raw socket. Some methods might not allow for wireless connections at all, other methods might allow it... but they all still would depend on the network drivers, despite what method you use...

So even if you use the complicated everything supporting method, it might still not work because the network driver is crappy.

I don't think it's the drivers cookie but for the case it is could you tell me what are the best drivers for the "INTEL Pro/Wireless 2200BG network connection" hardware version 0.1.3. My current driver version is 9.0.1.9.

RE: Packet sniffer that supports all wirelless connections. by alexp2_ad on 09-06-2006 at 08:19 PM

DING! I have intel wifi too... coincidence?

RE: Packet sniffer that supports all wirelless connections. by Zeh on 09-06-2006 at 08:21 PM

LOL. You think that's what causing the problem? Intel's crappy drivers?

search the web for code for sniffers. In almost every piece of code you'll find they talk about it and say that some drivers are the cause for raw sockets not being able to be opened (on wireless). After changing drivers they work...

I can't unless I search for them myself; there are hundreds if not thousands of drivers out there... sorry...

RE: Packet sniffer that supports all wirelless connections. by Zeh on 09-06-2006 at 09:32 PM

Ok. Actually my new theory is that the intel drivers suck! lol. It seems its people with intel wireless hardware and drivers that have this problem. I hope intel released drivers that correct this issue. If not I can't use scripts with Xniff.

EDIT: Ok I've downloaded the latest driver from intel's site for my adapter, v. 9.0.4.17, going to download nudgeback again and see if it does work now. You should try to download the latest driver from itel's site for your adapter too alex and then try to see if the xniff starts working on you connection.

EDIT(2): Well the nudge back doesn't work but i don't think it's the Xniff fault, it crashes the WLM when I import or activate it and when active the "/" command it is supposed to add doesn't appear in the list so i'm gessing this is the scripts fault. Can anyone tell me another script that uses Xniff.ocx that I could try to see if my wireless is working well now with the sniffer?

Pai,

How do I access your activex onData event in c++?

I've done a wrapper class but can't use the event.

Thanks
