About WifiChannelMonitor

WifiChannelMonitor captures Wi-Fi traffic on a selected channel and displays information about access points and connected or probing clients, including signal, security, and traffic details. It can also import capture files created with airodump-ng or Wireshark.

Live capture uses Microsoft Network Monitor and works best with a wireless adapter and driver that support monitor mode. Without monitor mode, it mostly shows traffic from your own network.

Strengths

  • Shows access point and client details from captured traffic
  • Can import capture files for offline inspection
  • Can display clients probing for network names

Limitations

  • Live capture requires Microsoft Network Monitor and a wireless adapter and driver that support monitor mode.
