One huge advantage that Apple Mac users have over owners of Windows
10 machines is the ability to perform a native 802.11 wireless packet
capture direct from their built-in wireless NIC. This is extremely
useful for wireless pros who want to take a quick over-the air-capture
into Wireshark to analyze traffic for troubleshooting purposes. Windows
users don’t have the luxury of this native wireless capture capability.
In this article, we take a look at how we can use a WLANPi unit
as an adapter to capture traffic over the air, straight into Wireshark
on a Windows machine. With the WLANPi being powered from the USB of the
laptop, this is a super convenient, portable and powerful capture method
that gets Windows users a little closer to the capabilities of their
cousins on Apple Macs.
