Setup monitor mode on the RPI

  1. Kill problematic services
    $ sudo airmon-ng check kill
    
  2. Stop NetworkManager
    $ sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager
    
  3. Set the Broadcom radio to monitor mode on the desired channel
    $ sudo airmon-ng start wlan0 <CHANNEL>
    

Capture traffic via tcpdump

  • Note: make sure to save in /tmp (since we are using NFS mounted home directories there is a problem with sudo privileges accessing them)
  • Capture the traffic on the current (please note to save files on the /mnt/ramdisk partition)
    $ sudo tcpdump -i wlan0mon -w /mnt/ramdisk/<FILENAME>.pcap
