When a WiFi scan has been performed the scan results will be shown in a table at the bottom of the page. The table shows the SSID (if available), the BSS, channel and frequency information and signal strength for each WiFi network. | When a WiFi scan has been performed the scan results will be shown in a table at the bottom of the page. The table shows the SSID (if available), the BSS, channel and frequency information and signal strength for each WiFi network. A link to the raw scan output for each network is also provided. This contains a lot of additional information about the settings of the WiFi network. | ||
=== WiFi decryption === | |||
In this tab the SSIDs and their associated PSKs (Pre Shared Key) are configured for WiFi decryption. For WiFi networks that use WPA2-PSK the traffic of a client can be decrypted if the PSK is know at handshake time. | |||
This works for live WiFi monitoring and PCAP analysis of WiFi traffic. | |||
If traffic can be decrypted the packets are converted into Ethernet packets with the appropriate source and destination MAC addresses. These Ethernet packets are then analyzed and potentially captured by the system just like regular Ethernet packets from a wired network interface. | |||
