Re: WiFi sniffing need to be connected?

I think it depends on which client you are trying to sniff. If you are
on wifi then if you put your card in promiscous mode you should be
able to sniff al the data of wireless clients. I've done this a
hundred times. But if your target is on lan then you will need to do
some poisoning.
Hope this helps contact me if you need help.

Hi Vinicius,

In-order to sniff on a network, you obviously need to be connected to
that network. Promisious mode concept comes after you are connected to
the network. Also, you need to keep in mind, that sniffing on a
switched network is not as straight forward as on Hub network. You
need to do something extra like ARP cache poisioning in-order to sniff
on switched network, else you'll land up sniffing your own data on
given network.

All the best!
