Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Use Wireshark to snif other computers on the same wifi net

Hi;

To verify if your network card can support monitor mode, you can do the
following in KALI;

#airmon-ng start wlan0 (or what ever you adapter is wlan1 etc)

This should put your card in monitor mode if it supports it.  Then do;

#airmon-ng

you should see wlan0 and mon0 as a listing of adapters.

If you see mon0 then you know that the card is capable of monitor modem
and use the mon0 adapter in Wireshark.

Hope that helps.
