When working with data from a wireless network, Sniffer Portable
Professional adds a number of features to its postcapture display tabs.
In addition to the standard information provided in the postcapture tabs,
Sniffer Portable Professional adds special 802.11 information to the tabs
listed below, allowing you to concentrate on statistics specifically for
wireless stations:
The Matrix, Host Table, and Protocol Distribution post-analysis
tabs in the Display window each include 802.11 views, allowing
you to focus specifically on 802.11 statistics for wireless stations.
See Postcapture Matrix Tab on page 202, Postcapture Host Table
Tab on page 206, and Postcapture Protocol Distribution Tab on
page 208.
The Statistics post-analysis tab in the Display window includes
many wireless-specific statistics.
See Postcapture Statistics Tab on page 210.
The Decode display can completely decode 802.11 traffic. In
addition, Sniffer Portable Professional can perform
WEP/WPA/WPA2 decryption either during capture or after capture
if the correct decryption keys are specified.
See Postcapture Decode Display on page 162.
