In this article, I am going to explain about basics of Packet Sniffing using airodump-ng.

Before learning about packet sniffing, we must know that the devices on the same network, communicate with each other using packets. So, regardless of what we do on a network, whether we are watching a video, chatting with someone, logging into a website or doing anything on the internet, all the data sent in the form of packets.

So, in a network, all the devices ensure that these packets are going to the right device using the MAC address of the devices. So, each packet has a source MAC address and a destination MAC address, and it flows from source to destination.

Now to start Packet Sniffing we have to put our wireless adapter into monitor mode. For do the same you have to follow the below steps:

How to put your wireless adapter in monitor mode

a)Open the terminal and run sudo iwconfig command. It will show all the wireless interfaces available on your machine.

b)Now note the name of the wireless interface you want to
