Hello Jake,

 

With WPA2 the wireless traffic is encrypted by the radio card.

So if you take a capture on (in my case a Win7 laptop) your own data is not even encrypted yet.

You will be able to see your own data as-is.

 

Regards,

Henk

I have a capture that I took on my own wireless network with the WPA2 key entered.

With that said, that traffic is already decrypted...yes? 

 

Thanks ahead of time....
