hey guys hacker SL here back again with
another video and welcome to your third
wi shck tutorial for beginners so in the
last video we talked about the
environment and how to basically change
the layout of the environment in wire
shark to meet your specifications or
whatever you feel uh more suitable for
you we also looked at some toolbar
actions and what what the the icons on
the toolbar do now in this video I'm
going to be talking to you about the
capture options and the interfaces in
depth so again this is what I'm going to
be talking about the whole capture
options and interfaces just for the sake
of this uh for the starting of this
video we're just going to select Wi-Fi
all right or whatever Nick or network
interface card you're using so I'm just
going to stop uh scanning for
packets and I want to just show you
something here you want to hit this
little capture options uh icon here and
once you hit that it's going to open
this menu now uh as you see there are
about four uh network interface cards
that I have here now two of them the
VMware network adapter uh and this one
right here one and8 are not real in the
sense that they are not actually
Hardware they're just software virtual
um network interface cards these are for
my virtual machines I have two my Wi-Fi
and my ethernet I'm currently using my
Wi-Fi card so that's you want to select
the one that you're currently using now
it's going to give you information more
information about it now when it comes
to this tab here the misc mode what this
means is that whether or not you want to
allow your Wi-Fi card to read packets or
read data from other devices now let me
explain why this is a actually a setting
now in wies shck you have two options
when promiscous mode is enabled or
disabled when it's disabled y shock is
only going to scan data or packets that
are meant for your computer and it's not
going to scan for packets from other
devices devices uh from their devices to
the router so that's basically what
promiscuous mode is promiscuous mode
basically pays more attention to data
that's going to and from other devices
so it actually allows you to read
packets and data from other devices now
again this is highly legal without
permission I don't recommend you going
and using this uh this method um like in
a public place it's highly legal and if
you're actually caught you will be
apprehended and uh it's a crime so again
you have to have permission from your
network administrator or you basically
have to have permission to scan the
packets on the data so yeah that's
pretty much about uh what promiscuous
mode
is
