But, then I wonder, what is the scenario behind all of this? How could my computer know if there are a lot access points around it? Even I didn’t realize where are the routers placed. Once it’s connected, now I could surf the internet. And then, I tried to connect to target Wi-Fi access point, if it ask for password then input the password. As far as I knew, when i was connecting to a Wi-Fi network, first I turned-on Wi-Fi service on my computer to scan available connection/s around me. I didn’t know much about networking at that time. Comments are welcomed below.Did you ever imagine or have some curiosities about how network traffic look likes ? If you did, you are not alone, I did too. I hope you find this article and its content helpful. Here are the Linux commands I used on my lab network: VBoxManage modifyvm "IPv6Sec-Debian-Host" -nictrace1 on -nictracefile1 /home/awalding/netlog.pcap VirtualBox -startvm "IPv6Sec-Debian-Host"Īfter doing my testing, I was able to open the netlog.pcap file in Wireshark, and I was good to go. Caution: the capture is raw and can get big quickly.
You have to issue two commands: the first starts a packet capture, and the second starts the VM. So how do we solve the problem? Well, it appears the VirtualBox folks know about this issue and they have provided a "work around".īasically you have to start the VM from a terminal, not the VirtualBox interface. None of them have screen shots, so that should tell you something too. But this is also wrong, you can't do both those things. It made no difference, I still could not capture this VM traffic on vboxnet0.Ī bunch of other sites say to change the Attached to and set a bridged Host Only adapter. In the Promiscous mode - I selected Allow All. Below I have selected a VM, chosen Settings, then Networking, then Advanced: Some web sites say the solution is to make sure that VirtualBox promiscous mode is turned on in the VM Network settings. With Virtualbox, there is no path to the packet data that dumpcap can reach, even though the VirtualBox networks/virtual interfaces appear. My conclusion is that Wireshark (really dumpcap) has to use either Winpcap in Windows or Libpcap in Linux to access the packet data within the stack. Our Udemy course on Wireless Packet capture
