Hello everyone and welcome back to part seven of lean ethical hacking.
Now that we've enabled to monitor mode on your wireless card we can actually start to sniff pockets
so I'm just going to show you how to do that.
And I'm going to open the terminal and just zoom in then what you can type is I w config click enter
and make sure the modus monitor on your wireless card.
So if you haven't watched the previous video you need to find out how to operate and to monitor mode
but to actually start sniffing pockets I'll do clear so gets rid of that you need to do aero Dom hyphen
engine then the name of that card's w 1 0 0 and now like I said in the previous video it might be different
for you but for me it's w line 0 man if I click enter as you can see it's starting to sniff the packets
locally.
I'll explain what each one of these mean in a second I'm just going to let it sniff more Wi-Fi routers
in my area
let's see if it picks up any more.
Now there's not many around me but in fact this should be enough.
So if you want to stop sniffing pockets now you can be a compress control unsee that will stop and it
will leave the informational but it won't search for any more packets so you should see a few Wi-Fi
reaches here.
Now the B.S. as I.D. is basically the MAC address.
So the MAC address is like the unique identifier which has the source MAC address and a destination
MAC address to the pockets again getting sense of the right to him from the right location.
P.W. R is basically power and it's how close your wireless card is to that router.
So obviously the farther away and the power increases but obviously you want a you want this power to
be as close to zero as possible because that means then you're going to have an easier time sniffing
the pockets and getting the most useful packets from it hence why the furthest one away from me is actually
minus 70 full well just 70 74 beacons and basically beacons signals that the router sends out to left
all the devices no that actually exists.
So think of it like a beacon or like a lighthouse for example.
So let ships know that there's land or it can you know when it knows it's close to land.
It's very similar in the sense that it's letting all the devices know it's the data is the number of
useful packets that we have sniffed from these Wi-Fi reaches.
I will explain more on this later this one here so s is basically the number of packets we have snipped
in the last 10 seconds.
CBH is the channel.
So each router will work from a different channel.
Now you might see some that are the same in this case.
These are all ones but if you have two routers right next to each other next to your computer for example
or downstairs wherever you have your reasons if you have two separate ones and run the same channel
it can sort of like interfere with each other.
So if I had two of these my from my second one the channel should be like eleven or six because you
don't want that you don't want them to have the same channel because then no like I said there'll be
interference.
The second will be weaker etc. and B is basically the maximum speed allowed.
So they're all the same 50 for E and C is encryption.
So basically what they use to encrypt the packets most Wi-Fi breaches these days are WPA to cipher is
the cipher used chewing them decrypt the packets so all of these are used in C MP There's other ones
though.
Such as t k IP I believe from the top of my head.
But don't quote me on the oath is the type of oath and authentication required.
But I will discuss more of this once we get into WPA cracking.
And the SS idea is just basically the name of the router.
So that was a for this video.
If it is helped please leave a light comments.
If you stuck with anything and subscribe for the latest videos I'll see you in the next video.
