Re: WiFi sniffing need to be connected?

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!

Prove to peers and potential employers without a doubt that you can actually do a proper penetration test. IACRB CPT
