I am interested in being able log packets going over a unsecured wireless network. Specifically, I want to see HTTP POST / GET requests and responses going between the router and computers on the network. Which software do people use for this? I am running OSX and I have a RT73 chipset USB wireless card that supports passive mode.
Is there a way to do this over WEP encrypted networks (provided I know the key) as well?
I would recommended Wireshark which will track any traffic on a particular network card.
From a Wireless router perspective I am not aware of any software that can do this unless the router itself is linux based in which case you can use tcpdump
A program like AirMagnet will allow you to sniff directly from your wireless adapter, even if you aren't connected to the networks.
A program like WireShark will allow you to sniff any network you are connected to.
