I have a small home network that I would like to analyze traffic on. I have wire shark installed on PC “A” and want to monitor unicast traffic on PC “B” and “C” also connected to the home wireless router.
In its current state I can see all broadcast traffic on the net. I know that in order to acquire unicast I will have to accomplish one of these things…
1. Port span/mirror/HUB installed on the router
2. Install an USB AP on my PC and name SSID same as current setup and have all traffic run through USB AP running in promiscuous mode
3. Have router forward unicast traffic to my PC by ARP poison/ New router OS etc…
I am wondering if there is any other creative “easy” ideas that this community has out there or maybe something I have not thought of yet?
BTW the router is a home router broadcasting SSID, NON encrypted/secured for this exercise.
