Reads title... sounds like a spacehuhn project. Watches video yep it is and as always its really cool and I have to order another esp32

[@DDBAA24]

Yep , the only thing that is negative about it is that it will only be useful with http traffic as a pcap dev.. PoC but nevertheless still very cool

I don't understand u do this you concet to the access point or u sniff all the access point around you? Thanks

[@mrockabdelmajid2022]

Same question

[@emaayan]

here are some tips , if you don't care about channel hopping you can turn the esp into an AP and join it (or have esp join an existing ssid) , create a TCPServer and access the capture directly via IP, wireshark supports the use of named pipes which can also be tcp ip's so for example you could do wireshark -i TCP@ with the default port being 19000) and wireshark will connect directly to esp and start streaming packets, no need for clunky python serial script. another option would be to try and use esp32 s3 or s2, with the OTG ports turned into etherent using TinyUSB framework, but that's another issue , i didn't try yet .

[@user-rd4jg9it4y]

Can the dstike watch be used to prevent these sniffers?

[@mechabits197]

This seems like a good place for me to start my little idea, i'd like to be able to access the pcap(not that i have figured out how to interpret those) file remotely or have it sent via gsm device, so I can try to pinpoint the devices location. Now i realize this might be a dumb idea and some other way of locating device, but it would be helpful to tie thieves to position with ID's of phones or routers(i think).

[@user-rd4jg9it4y]

How do you detect these sniffers? If someone has put them in your house or car how do you detect them?

[@hughhefner4774]

You should do a review on the tornado tool supplied by ec council

Hi can this be used to capture the public ip?without connecting to a the router?

DAMNNN I wanted a video about this for sooo long

[@peteroo-hv1cj]

pcap.h => File file type not declared error ,

[@bens4446]

Line 52 in PCAP.h throws "error: 'File' does not name a type; did you mean 'SdFile'?" EDIT: Replacing "File" with "FsFile" in line 52 seems to fix this, but now I am having baud rate issues (gibberish in the serial monitor).

[@mty4821]

So actually the cool part of this is that I can load the code, then power on the device using a power bank maybe, keeping it hidden in my pocket, right?

[@sammedbanu8962]

Is that so Is It possible

[@lemd49]

Another nice episode with a solid structure. Can you point me to your d1 mini driver coverage as I am having real headaches w my d1 on the Mac (no problems w nodemcu however) tks

[@mnageh-bo1mm]

I am searching for an esp that can work as a handshaker. .. deauths the clients then capture the handshake from all APs or a selected one. and cheks if it's valid or not .

[@lash1co]

There is any way to detect devices not connected to any AP?

[@Lasnikers]

1:28 oh lol I am from Germany

[@Lup1n_3]

I don't understand how it connects to the Wi-Fi network?

[@soubhikbiswas1202]

does it captures handshakes?

[@yacine661]

what's gonna be the point from sniffing packets when most web sites use HTTPS ?

[@ddjazz]

Indeed It will only decode 802.11b/g/n HT20 packets supported by the api ,most will be management packets since the sniffing is in promiscuous mode. So most packets will contain meaningless or encrypted stuff. It will also miss a lot of packets if there is a lot of traffic nearby. As a pcap sniffer i dont think it is useful at all. It would be great as a packet counter , wifi device counter or deauthing packets visualiser .

[@Matt-ir1ky]

@@ddjazz You gotta be like the Hugh Jackman in Swordfish. He can't explain it he just sees the code.

[@DDBAA24]

@@ddjazz A lot of people use this chip as an attendance checker and its even useful in that sense for a diy security system. Or if you want to know who is in and out of your house and you can ID people by their MAC. To be fair on the github spacehuhn does say that this is just a proof of concept that packets could be malformed, his deauth devices on the other hand they're very cool and useful. He does some nice work and has good ideas.

[@ddjazz]

@@DDBAA24 I didnt say anything about the usefulness of the chip , but about using the esp8266 as a packet capturer.I gave some examples where using the data in management frames can have benefits.

[@Abdega]

It can be useful for observing WiFi traffic that is not https

[@Lup1n_3]

I do not understand how it connects to the wifi network

Do these sniffers run on 2.4 or 5 ghz?

2.4 , the esp8266 got only the capability to 2.4 as its cheap

[@punitdarji1871]

I am not using SDCard. I want to store pcap files in my hard-disk. What should I do?

[@DDBAA24]

get a usb to serial cable, the one on the adafruit website has a good chipset. Then you just have to run an application to monitor and or record the traffic and choose to save the capture to your hdd...................... Hope that helps

[@arminrud7550]

Unfortunatly it won't compile.

[@bappesarker864]

sir , i installed kali linux on my rasperry pi 3 B+, but few days later when i try to format the sd card it shows write protected and sd card was not formatted. please help me.

[@DDBAA24]

Are you using a full sized SDcard adapter to flash your microSD cards ?? If you're there is a tiny little switch on the side of the SD to microSD Adapter card. Make sure the switch is in the ' up ' position. If you managed to slide it to the 'down' position it puts write protection on your adapter which would make it impossible to write to any microSD's using that adapter. This has nothing to do with your file system or Linux installation its just a tiny slider switch on the side of the adapter.. Hope this helps

[@DDBAA24]

@@bappesarker864 Well I am glad to hear you at least sorted your problem out. I wish I could have done more to help out. I never asked you what brand it was, but there are a lot of crappy cards with false specs and all together fake cards, Chinese replicas. When buying things on the internet there is always a chance of having to deal with that. Or it just could have been defective with flash memory its always a gamble. Good luck to you.

[@sanxingbaby3823]

I know that this maybe irrelevant, but I think that you may provide a solution. I connected my MacBook to a TL-WDR7300 router using a cable with RJ45 and could get access to the internet. But I don't know the password for the router. Is there any way that I can get the password for wifi network of this router? Thank you!

[@sanxingbaby3823]

@xOr Thanks for your reply. The router has no default password, it requires the user to set a password. If I reset the router without knowing the password, I couldn't set the password the same as the old one. Thus, the owner would know. Is there any way to get the WiFi password other than brutal force? Besides, I am connecting the router physically.

[@DDBAA24]

You need to do a 30/30/30/ reset and you will be able to set a new password, but this will purge all network and router configurations. Also if your looking to use the router more ore less as a dongle unless its bridged to a wireless network connected to the internet its not going to work. Hold the reset for 30 sec , still holding it in unplug the power waiting another 30 seconds, still never letting go of reset plug the power back in and wait the last 30 seconds and you will be prompted to set a new password. If your looking to use the router as a wireless dongle I would check to see if it is DD-WRT or Openwrt compatible. Then you need to watch a tutorial on setting your router up as a client bridge, on youtube there are many tutorials on how to do that. The regular firmware is not going to allow you to scan and connect to networks like a dongle would. If I totally mis understood what you said then you mean you want to bridge to someones network but you do not know there password, in that event the only solution would be to capture a handshake and decrypt it or ask for the password lol.

[@gcanary562]

Try to get a good cpu like any i5 or i7. Running Kali you ain't need any dedicated gpu. So you can go with an integrated one. I recommend you to buy a Lenovo Thinkpad.

@@gcanary562 Yeah the Thinkpad came up a few times in my research. I also looked at System76 laptop and also saw that Dells had pretty good Linux support too so I'm looking at the XPS lineup. But it does seem an i5 or i7 is a must.

@Null Byte , Check out this shield hackaday.io/project/27566/gallery#28223587c208f896d629f97985cba9a9 , it lets you add 16 additional gpio pins to the d1 mini. Your microSD breakout is eating up all of your pins by adding this shield you can add additional parts like a tiny screen or whatever you want. They're not as powerful as the internal pins and cant do pwm but it will free up internal pins that you can use for that should you choose or need to do so.. Just thought you might appreciate this. Also I saw the megasync tab in your file manager , I would recommend the mega-cmd utility to anyone that uses that service, it gives you a shell into your mega cloud and it runs on Debian 9 . It makes it crazy easy to manage your storage and it comes with several server options for staying connected and file transfers. Even the free version of Mega is just great, there is one that is a little better but it gives you a few months of 100GB and then you have to sign up. If you need to back up a bunch of stuff up to 100GB maybe to move to another machine or whatever try adrive.com . You can ssh,sftp,ftp,rsync, right from the terminal or even setup a webdav. Plus for a free service the transfer speeds aren't too bad, you know how it goes.
