You can find to which AP a particular packet belongs by looking at the source/destination field. When you were sniffing your AP was the client on wired network or wirelessly? You cannot sniff the wired network wirelessly. But if the client is on wireless then the packets to and fro has to be transmitted over the air. And there is nothing that stops you from sniffing them On 7/8/10, Enis Sahin <enis.c.sahin () gmail com> wrote:
I have tried putting my wireless cards into monitor mode in backtrack and tried to sniff my own wireless connection by tuning into its channel. However all I captured was unintelligible packets (which I'm guessing management packets) and couldn't see any TCP packets. Could it be a problem with my wireless adaptor drivers and I couldn't properly put it into monitor mode? On second thought how would I differentiate between two tcp packets originating from the same IP addess on different APs boradcasting on the same channel...? Probably that's the problem. I am a little confused about this wireless sniffing thing. Can anybody help me to clarify :)? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This list is sponsored by: Information Assurance Certification Review Board Prove to peers and potential employers without a doubt that you can actually do a proper penetration test.
