answer is that by default wireshark does not sniff wireless traffic. " Capture is mostly limited by Winpcap and not by Wireshark. However, Wireshark includes Airpcap support, a special -and costly- set of WiFi hardware that supports WiFi traffic monitoring in monitor mode. In other words, it allows capturing WiFi network traffic in promiscuous mode on a WiFi network. However these cards have been discontinued and are deprecated, so they cannot capture traffic on networks running the latest WiFi standards (802.11ac)"
Wireshark lets you capture and interactively browse the traffic running on a computer network. This tool uses WinPcap to capture packets on its own supported networks. It captures live network traffic from Ethernet, IEEE 802.11, PPP/HDLC, ATM, Bluetooth, USB, Token Ring, Frame Relay, and FDDI networks. The captured files can be programmatically edited via the command-line. A set of filters for customized data display can be refined using a display filter.
SteelCentral Packet Analyzer provides a graphical console for high-speed packet analysis. This tool comes integrated with Riverbed AirPcap adapters to analyze and troubleshoot 802.11 wireless networks.
AirPcap was a specialized solution to do what you can do on Linux (injection/monitor mode). as far as I know you cannot on WINDOWS capture Wifi traffic without the outdated Aircap. Winpcap does not put the Wifi card into monitor mode on windows.
This question is kind of bull... you know what.
Airpcap is dead for years.
"The AirPcap adapters from Riverbed Technology allow full raw 802.11 captures under Windows, including radiotap information. Note that the AirPcap adaptors are no longer being sold by Riverbed, as announced in their End-of-Availability (EOA) Notice on October 2, 2017."
AirPcap is the first open, affordable and easy-to-deploy 802.11 packet capture solution for Windows. All of the AirPcap offerings will capture full 802.11 data, management, and control frames that then can be viewed in Wireshark, providing in-depth protocol dissection and analysis capabilities.
