Abstract
802.11 usage has exploded and broken all barriers for which it was originally proposed. This has resulted in research for its non-legacy usages. Such usages require study of packets with low level details such as signal strength, rate and frame control parameters. We provide a novel architecture called WiFiDump which can provide such low level details from network driver to a user space process. We also provide an implementation and evaluation of the proposed architecture for 802.11b networks on systems running prism2 chipset based cards. Further, the entire package has been incorporated on Linux with the popular packet capturing and filtering library libpcap and the standard tool -tcpdump.
