General sniffing question
Posted: Sat Jan 14, 2006 7:26 pm
I'm playing with sniffing on my home network. I have vxsniffer working on my iPaq 3760 w/Orinoco card. I'm capturing some packets but it doesn't seem like it could possibly be everything that's going over the network (I have another PC that I'm web browsing and doing other things on).
The only human-readable packets (ie. those with recognizable text) are always about the same: 3 or 4 lines of non-readable characters followed by NOTIFY... HTTP/1.1..HOST blah blah blah.
Why wouldn't it be capturing EVERYTHING?
