Generic Packet Capture

Packet Capture

Capture raw 802.11 frames on the selected channel and saves them to .pcap for analysis.

How to Use

1. Select a target in Wi‑Fi Recon (sets the channel).
2. Click Start Packet Capture. The button flips to Stop only after the device confirms start; brief lag means it may be queued/busy. If stats are increasing but the button hasn’t flipped yet, capture is running.
3. Watch live stats: Packets and Bytes.
4. Click Stop Packet Capture to finish.
5. Download .pcap from File Manager. When using the default auto filename, captures are named by type in the captures/ folder:

• captures/all1.pcap, captures/all2.pcap, … (filter: ALL)
• captures/mgmt1.pcap, captures/mgmt2.pcap, … (filter: MGMT)
• captures/data1.pcap, captures/data2.pcap, … (filter: DATA)
• captures/ctrl1.pcap, captures/ctrl2.pcap, … (filter: CTRL)
• captures/beacon1.pcap, captures/beacon2.pcap, … (filter: BEACON)

Handshake captures continue to use the handshakes/ folder and naming:

• handshakes/handshake1.pcap, handshakes/handshake2.pcap, …
