Sniffing Network Traffic

Post by MrRiv »

Hello, I'm new to Gargoyle but pretty exited to start using it. Is there a way to sniff network traffic by MAC address? I'm doing some testing attempting to log URLs, Username/Password Combos, etc. My target is a wireless device. I was wanting to pull all the data from the 3700v4 if possible. As a last resort, would I have to use KALI Linux on a machine attached to somewhere on the network? Network topology is attached. Thanks in advance for advice/suggestions.

Can't attach the topology-says board attachment quota has been reached so here it is explained...

Modem > Netgear3700V4 with Gargoyle > Cisco switch 2950 with following connections: Netgear3700v3, Computers(wired & wireless), ipads, cell phones, security camera system, etc.

BTW, both routers have wireless enable running different channels.

Gargoyle does not have this functionality as such. Gargoyle is built on OpenWrt and provides a great web interface and other functionality like QOS and quotas. These functionalities inspect the source, destination and size of packets, but not the contents.

You can ssh into the Gargoyle router and inspect all available data.

Looks like a good place to start! The Penetration Testing Training with Kali Linux looks like fun.
Can you help someone else get Gargoyle up and running?
