LinuxFest Northwest 2023 Minifest: Open Source Wireless Packet Capture on Linux

Alex Gavin
Software Engineer, Candela Technologies

Want to snoop network traffic from “smart” devices in your home? Why do it the easy way when you could do it the hard way? *Over the air*

This talk will give a gentle introduction to WiFi concepts as well as a demo of open source tools you can use to do wireless packet capture on your own.

The intended audience is folks with some experience using Linux (primarily the shell) and with introductory networking knowledge.

DISCLAIMER: This talk is purely educational. Anything you do with this knowledge on your own is your responsibility.
