Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Promiscuous/Monitor Modes
Hello everybody!
According to the wireshark study guide by Laura Chappell, the wireless
adapter can have 4 combinations of monitor/promiscuous mode
configurations. I don't get one single configuration: when the monitor
mode is enabled, but the promiscuous is disabled. As far as I
understood, the host won't be associated with any AP, because it's in
the monitor mode. In addition, the adapter won't capture any frames with
a destination different than its own MAC address, because it's in the
promiscuous mode. This means no traffic will be captured. What's the use
of this configuration? Or did I understand something wrong?
Best Regards, Daniel
