So we installed the NetGear Adapter driver by following the commands listed here: $ git clone Installing a driver for AirPcap in Ubuntu or any Linux distribution seems to be a master degree, so we didn’t fight too much with it.

We installed Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS in a bootable USB and install Wireshark (which it’s different from the Windows one as the interfaces shown are USB, SSH…and of course, only promiscuos mode available because the hardware without NetGear is the same). Using NetGear WiFi Adapter in Ubuntu with Wireshark Therefore, this alternative is also discarded ? However, it’s not really accurate, as it could be something else. When using Acrylic, things go smoother and faster BUT we are not able to discern the WPS packets (it doesn’t show the WiFi protocol and we didn’t find a proper filter to apply), so we have to guess the following is the WPS handshaking process: Using NetGear WiFi Adapter in Windows 10 with Acrylic Therefore, this does not look like a good/effective/easy/clear solution, but we give the adapter another opportunity… In addition, we didn’t find a way to select the channel we want to sniff from (something possible with the AirPcap Control Panel). So yeah, it shows how it fails and the interesting thing to do would be capturing the WPS handshake process between the AP and another device without loosing the connection or having Wireshark frozen… Then, we try the WPS functionality between the AP and the NetGear Adapter (we also tried between the AP and the PC and the AP and another PC in the network, but we didn’t capture anything…) and, as before, this fails, but at least we got something: So at first sight: yay! WiFi 2 interface is working in monitor mode (although Wireshark keeps getting frozen same as the connection to the AP). Also, Wireshark gets frozen… but, with lots of patient, we carry on with the experiment and wait for Wireshark to show what we wanted: Then, we run Wireshark as an Administrator and we start seeing the AP disconnecting and connecting to our PC, all the time. The WiFi 2 interface is the one created by the NetGear dongle (the PC’s NIC is named simply “WiFi”). However, when doing it manually (entering the WiFi password), we get it to work: Using NetGear WiFi Adapter in Windows 10 with Wiresharkįirst, the adapter per se works fine on Windows 10, although some functions like the WPS connection to the AP fails:

However, when we tried the previous tutorial, also explained in the Acrylic website, we found some issues… According to their website, the NetGear A6200 WiFi Adapter is able to do this and it’s a cheaper alternative.Īlso, as explained here, by installing their driver and using the NetGear adapter, you can capture in monitor mode using Wireshark, which sounds like an awesome solution, doesn’t it? Having 2 PCs with Windows 10 and NICs that don’t support monitor mode, it would be an incovenient to downgrade them and then buy this expensive solution, so we looked for alternatives…Īcrylic is a propietary alternative to Wireshark that also allows capturing WiFi packets in monitor mode when having the appropriate hardware.

There is no driver for Windows 10 or Linux.However, there are 2 main disadvantages to use it: This is, it’s able to capture packets in monitor mode from an specific WiFi channel. Many PCs NICs are not suitable to capture WiFi packets, because they are not compatible with monitor mode.ĪirPcap is a WiFi adapter able to capture 802.11 packets when using with Wireshark. At least, not for Windows 10… If you want to know why, then yes: keep reading! ?

Don’t worry, you won’t need to read the full post to know the answer: the NetGear WiFi adapter is not an alternative to AirPcap.
