I think it depends on which client you are trying to sniff. If you are on wifi then if you put your card in promiscous mode you should be able to sniff al the data of wireless clients. I've done this a hundred times. But if your target is on lan then you will need to do some poisoning. Hope this helps contact me if you need help.

Hi Vinicius, In-order to sniff on a network, you obviously need to be connected to that network. Promisious mode concept comes after you are connected to the network. Also, you need to keep in mind, that sniffing on a switched network is not as straight forward as on Hub network. You need to do something extra like ARP cache poisioning in-order to sniff on switched network, else you'll land up sniffing your own data on given network. All the best! --- Nikhil Wagholikar On 2 July 2010 08:14, Vinicius Menezes <cotomax () yahoo com> wrote:Hello guys, I´m trying to snif msn/mail messages throw wifi.
