Reading WIFI data using ESP.

Postby shreyans » Mon Oct 23, 2023 3:57 pm

Hi Everyone,

I have recently started working on the ESP32's WIFI module. I am trying to extract all the data that is being intercepted by the WIFI antenna on the ESP but don't have any information on how I can do it. If anyone has any leads, please share them.

Thanks
Shreyans

You probably want to use the WiFi in promiscuous mode, see e.g. here.

Thanks for the response.
The suggested code will return the packet information that is sniffed at the logical layer.
I am interested in reading the entire data received on the ESP's antenna i.e., information at the physical layer level.
