Being Promiscuous with WPA

    Having an issue getting Promiscuous mode to be promiscuous on a WPA-PSK network. I can get this working fine in unencrypted network and i can get this working in a roundabout way on a wep network(monitor mode + wireshark).

    Monitor mode also would be usefully (a little less) but the same issue exists.

    My setup is atheros card with madwifi-ng drivers.

    -Do i need to patch wpa-supplicent to do this?
    -Is there any version of wireshark that can decode these?
    -Has anyone had this issue and solved it?


    The only workaround i have is a MITM attack but this is noisy/messy and causes lots of issues i dont want.

    ogh an yes this is my network.

    What about using a more dedicated tool such as airodump, it seems to happily get WPA packets for me, though I'm not using madwifi-ng drivers.

    I was using wireshark while associated to the network. With what you have already said i have an idea.

    I went digging on airodump-ng and some of the information there might help me out. http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=airodump-ng
    (network manager may have been reconfiguring the card as i never killed the dispatcher):o

    old but worth digging further
    http://lists.samba.org/archive/linux/2006-November/016387.html


    after more digging i may have more issues. Each client may get its own key so i may not be able to do this while associated.


    Will post back if this works out or not.


    Thanks again.

    if you're a windows user with some spare cash, perhaps you should invest in the AIRPCAP adapter.

    Its specially designed to work with wireshark.
    It also runs with Cain & Abel / Aircrack..etc for monitoring 802.11b/g networks.
    different versions allow transmission at an extra cost.

    the alternative is linux based.

    There's a compeltely new 802.11 stack with the 2.6.24 kernel which may help.
