- jzelinskie 9y agoNo external device needed, just root access and I usually make a symlink to somewhere on $PATH: $ sudo ln -s /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport ~/bin/airport $ sudo airport sniff $ tcpdump -r /tmp/airportSniffxxxx.cap | less
- alexvay 9y agoYou can even use the GUI: http://osxdaily.com/2015/04/23/sniff-packet-capture-packet-trace-mac-os-x-wireless-diagnostics/ http://osxdaily.com/2015/04/23/sniff-packet-capture-packet-t... There's bunch of cool options, including WiFi quality scan.
- heartbreak 9y agoIt sure does, which is awesome! The UI even has support, and when it’s in monitor mode the WiFi status icon even turns into a solid fan shape with a little eye in it. It’s the little things. ‘jzelinskie has the short instructions in their comment.
