I got another wifi adapter to use as a sniffer. It is the Alfa AC1900, and now I’m able to see the data packets. Apparently, some of the rates were not supported by the awus036neh.

I'm running an iperf3 test between the client and the AP. I can capture traffic, but the capture doesn't seem to collect nearly as much data as is passing between the client and AP. Do I have something set up wrong? I've got an Alfa awus036neh USB WiFi adapter on a separate laptop booted into Kali Linux (2019.3). I start the adapter in monitor mode using the following commands, and start netsniff-ng. The details are in the attached text file. root@kali:~# airmon-ng check kill root@kali:~# airmon-ng start wlan1 root@kali:~# iw wlan1mon set channel 1 HT20 root@kali:~# netsniff-ng --in wlan1mon --out dump.pcap --silent --bind-cpu 1 iperf3 reports 10's of MB being transferred during the recording (5MBytes per second), but the dump.pcap file is less than 1MB. It doesn't seem that everything is being recorded. Is the data being stripped out? I'm not specifying a filter. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "netsniff-ng" group.
