For instance if your supplicant is sending a Discover, and receiving an offer needed. In conclusion, decrypting 802.11 frames could be very helpful in a troubleshooting session, instead of seeing only the 802.11 protocols, you can see another picture with 元 information on there. ImportantĪbove all, if for some reason the steps don’t work for you, please try enabling “Validate the FCS checksum if possible” and play around with the “Ignore the protection bit” options, as shown in the image. You can see the entire payload which includes a DHCP offer. Let’s take a look at frame 28 one more time!

Let’s see packets 18, 20, and 22 again! Now, we can see 元 information followed by the protocol of the data which is DHCP (before we had 802.11 and L2 information only)

In my case, the name of the SSID is “Meraki” To use wpa-psk you will need to derive your PSK combining your passphrase and your SSID name, you can use this link for simplicity, copy and paste the result in Wireshark, as shown in the images. Let’s start with wpa-psw, the key is in plaintext, the password goes first followed by “:” and the name of the SSID, as shown in the image.ĥ. Enable decryption and click on Edit, as shown in the image:Ĥ. Go to the Wireshark tab > Preferences > Protocols > IEEE 802.11, as shown in the image:ģ. Let’s take a look at frame 28, see the payload is encrypted.Ģ.

(I filtered only interesting traffic for this post)įrom packets 9 – 12 we can see the 4-way handshake required, packets 18, 20, 22, and so on shows encrypted Data. In this post, we are going to focus only on WPA2-PWD & WPA2-PSK. Wireshark is a powerful tool that can decrypt 802.11 frames using the corresponding password from a specific SSID. In other words, if your capture doesn’t contain the complete handshake, Wireshark won’t be able to decrypt the frames, it won’t work using control frames, management frames, and data frames only. The packets capture collected must contain the 4-way handshake (EAPOL-Messages 1 to 4), the Wireshark decrypt tool uses WPA/WPA2 keys derived from an EAPOL handshake.Previous packets capture collected in monitor mode.A computer running any OS like Linux, MacOS, or Windows.
