Re: Use Wireshark to snif other computers on the same wifi network

I'm authenticated to the wpa network with wlan0, but not with mon0, because you can't be authenticated in monitor mode. 
I presume the traffic is all encrypted if I'm on wpa and not if it's open.

Are you authenticated to the wireless network? If not then you will not see
any clear packets since they are encrypted. If the network is OPEN with no
WEP WPA etc then you will see the protocols such as TCP and UDP etc. I know
I have done it myself.
