Now, we are all set to capture wireless packets. tcpdump relies on libcap, therefore it can produce standard pcap analysis files which may be processed by other tools. Step 4: Launch Wireshark and Start Capturing. It may be used to capture packets on the fly and/or save them in a file for later analysis. Tcpdump is a network capture and analysis tool.
