Matt {Undead} Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I have tried to use cain, ethereal and many other packet sniffing programs on my laptop but they never seem to work. I downloaded a program called shadow im sniffer, installed it on my pc and set it to scan my wireless network card on my laptop. It didnt work, i added it to windows firewall and to zonealarm but still it doesnt work, whats all that about? can anyone help me, dunno why its not working but it seems that somethings blocking it from packet sniffing.

VaKo Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 You installed winPcap? Is your card supported? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pseudobreed Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 You are going to have to explain in more detail. Both Cain and Ethereal (Now, Wireshark) both have to be setup to the network before you can start sniffing. Especially if you have more than one nic. It's really simple, however, you can not just open the program and hit the sniff button expecting to see packets on your screen like the matrix. A couple other questions, are you on a switch? How many other computers are on the network? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt {Undead} Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 Yes ive installed winpcap drivers but im not sure if my cards supported, how wd i find that out. I have a belkin wireless router connected to 4 computers, my laptop is also connected to it through wifi. I decided to install shadow IM sniffer to see the IP addy of my mate, he told me he was on holiday but I thought it was bulls**ting me so i set out to find his ip addy. So i installed the software and ran the sniffer, it didnt work and i allowed it in windows firewall and zonealarm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
