Since I'm in the access_bpf group, I inherit the permissions to read from and write to those devices.Įvery time my computer boots, /Library/LaunchDaemons/ runs. The second "rw" represents the permissions granted to "access_bpf" for that device read and write is granted. This says that access_bpf is the group that owns that device. My bf* entries have permissions and ownership that allow me to do that.Ĭrw-rw- 1 root access_bpf 23, 99 Nov 7 09:50 bpf0 I believe that "bpf" refers to "Berkeley Packet Filter", those devices allow you to monitor traffic on network interfaces (assuming you have permission to read those devices). For example, everything under "/dev" is actually a device. That's not to say that a bunch of non-file things can be found in the file system. That is a user group and I'm not sure if it's represented anywhere in the file system. I think you're saying that you expected to find "access_bpf" somewhere as a file. I have tried Apple's CFNetwork but it too can't capture without connecting to the network.Perhaps we can puzzle through this together, until someone with actual knowledge chimes in.Is wireshark making some kind of driver for that? if yes please help me to locate that in it's source code.do I have to make a network card driver for that or libpcap can do that ?if yes how?.I was able to capture Beacon, Acknowledgement and Authentication frames without connecting to my wifi network. I have tried to capture packets using wireshark without connecting to my wifi network and it worked!! Now when i do this printf("%s", pcap_datalink_val_to_name( pcap_datalink(descr))) (as we know mac OS x have en1 as wifi interface ) I have tried libpcap but it may be internally changing datalinktype as i am giving wifi interface in descr=pcap_open_live("en1", MAXBYTES2CAPTURE, 1, 512, errbuf) Switch on wifi and sniff the packets (IEEE 802.11 Frames)
I want to analyze networks traffic but not by connecting it Just
