I have installed the new Wireshark 2.2.7. The problem is that when I run a capture on my Wifi, the only packets I can see are from protocol 0x0800 and are of IPv4.
I have all protocols enabled, and I run the capture on my Wifi with no filters.
What can I do to see all of the protocols and the other packets ?

After setting up promiscuous mode on my wlan card, I started capturing packets with wireshark. But only broadcast packets or packets destined to my localhost were captured. I cannot find the reason why.
Also, after changing to monitor mode, captured packets all had 802.11 headers unlike promiscuous mode where Ethernet frames were captured. I know devices communicate with 802.11 protocols when wireless. But how is it possible that packets captured in wireshark is displayed in Ethernet frames? (when not in monitor mode)
I am trying to send the wifi direct probe packets using raw sockets so that mobile devices will show them in wifi direct device list.
I am trying to capture packets first in Wireshark in monitor mode in order to understand the packet structure and compare with the P2P probe request packet mentioned in Wifi Direct specification.
But I am not able to capture the correct probe packet in Wireshark. Can anyone suggest me what I am missing in my approach?
I wasn't able to capture packets with filter WLAN.addr= XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX. (Actual wifi Mac address), as WiFi Direct Mac address is different and the first byte was different.For example If your wifi mac is 00:04:CB:CX:DE:E7 then WiFi-Direct address is 02:04:CB:CX:DE:E7.
Also, I am able to show the device listed when I sent probe response packet to the device.
I have a basestation (beaglebone running linux) at my home which is connected to multiple cameras. I connect my iPhone iOS9 to the basestation via TCP and the basestation will stream the video of each camera to a specific UDP port. All is well.
I want to be able to see the cameras when I am not connected to the local network. When my phone is connected to LTE, I have the iPhone connecting to the public address of my router via TCP and with port forwarding, all data is forwarded to the basestation. I am connecting and talking just like it was on the local network with the TCP client. All is well.
The problem is when the video is streamed via UDP on a specific port, no different than when on the local network, the basestation has no problem sending the packets, but the iPhone is not receiving anything. I am using GCDASYNCUDPSOCKET and my cellular carrier is Verizon.
I am wondering if this issue is due to Verizon blocking UDP packets? Or possibly there needs to be something else done other than just binding the iPhone UDP socket to a specific port and calling the beginreceiving function. I feel if it works on the local network, it should work on the cellular network.
I have also tried to ping the address of my cellphone from my computer which does not work. I am guessing the reason is because the iPhone has blocked this. It should be no different than pinging the address of google or anything else.
Please give me some insight on the possible issues or work arounds. I don't think I need to port forward the UDP since it is only outgoing and my Netgear router does not limit any outbound traffic (from the router to the iPhone). I was doing all this TCP before trying to send the video via UDP. It is much slower waiting to receive acks for 5 cameras streaming live video. And when it doesn't receive a packet it backs up the buffer and causes more issues. Also I had an issue with the TCP packets combining together so then I had to implement some kind of custom ack which made the delay worse, or add an end of message, but then it slows down on parsing and since I don't know exactly what data is coming it made things more difficult.
UDP is the way to go, just cannot receive the packets at this time. My understanding is a lot of games use UDP and they work on LTE network, so I'm not quite sure what the problem is. Is there special UDP ports that only work with Verizon?
On an iPhone I have created a UDP socket and bound it to the WLAN interface. I enabled SO_BROADCAST and I am able to send broadcast packets to the network (confirmed by a client running on my notebook.) But the UDP socket on the iPhone is unable to receive broadcast packets.
In my opinion this is a kernel bug, because not allowing a socket with SO_BROADCAST enabled to receive any broadcast packet, is a bad design decision.
The problem is further described here and here. The most popular solution to this problem is to bind to INADDR_ANY. However, it would be nice to be able to bind an UDP socket to only one interface while still receiving broadcast packets! Is there really no way to achieve this?
(When I bind a socket to 192.168.1.7 on a class C net (/24), it should accept packets sent to 192.168.1.7 and packets sent to 192.168.1.255!)
Thanks!

I want to analyze networks traffic but not by connecting it Just
switch on wifi and sniff the packets (IEEE 802.11 Frames)
in promiscuous mode
I have tried libpcap but it may be internally changing datalinktype as i am giving wifi interface in
descr=pcap_open_live("en1", MAXBYTES2CAPTURE, 1, 512, errbuf);
(as we know mac OS x have en1 as wifi interface )
now when i do this
printf("%s", pcap_datalink_val_to_name( pcap_datalink(descr)));
It gives me result "ethernet"
I have tried to capture packets using wireshark without connecting to my wifi network and it worked!!
I was able to capture Beacon , Acknowledgement and Authentication frames without connecting to my wifi network.
now:
do I have to make a network card driver for that or libpcap can do that ?if yes how?
Is wireshark making some kind of driver for that? if yes please help me to locate that in it's source code.
I have tried Apple's CFNetwork but it too can't capture without connecting to the network.
It will be very helpful if i get some suggestion on some user space code as kernel level coding is a little tuff :(
I am coding on MacOS 10.7 in xCode 4.5.1
Update:
I am already doing this:
descr=pcap_create("e1", errbuf);
pcap_set_rfmon(descr, 0);
pcap_set_promisc(descr, 0);
pcap_activate(descr);
descr=pcap_open_live("en1", 2048, 1, 512, errbuf);
And yes there is a little monitor icon at the wifi and I can sniff the
packets but only when I connect to the network, I want to do the same
when I am not connected to wifi like capturing Beacon and
Acknowledgment Frames means packets through which our network card detects available wifi network
If you're running on Snow Leopard or later (which you are, as you're running Lion), you should use the new pcap_create()/pcap_activate() APIs, and turn on monitor mode by calling pcap_set_rfmon() between the pcap_create() and pcap_activate() calls.
That's what Wireshark 1.6.0 and later do if you check the monitor mode checkbox, and what tcpdump 1.0.0 and later, and TShark and dumpcap in Wireshark 1.6.0 and later, do if you specify the -I command-line flag.
By default, Wi-Fi interfaces on many OSes, including but not limited to OS X, supply Ethernet headers, not 802.11 headers, which is why pcap_datalink_val_to_name(pcap_datalink(descr)) is reporting Ethernet headers. On Linux and OS X, you have to go into monitor mode to get 802.11 headers; on *BSD, you can get 802.11 headers without going into monitor mode.
You do not need your own driver to go into monitor mode on OS X; Wireshark does not supply its own drivers.
