airdecap-ng: Remove wireless headers from an open network capture file and use the access point's MAC address to filter.
$ airdecap-ng -b ${ap_mac} ${path-to-capture-cap}
try on your machine
The command "airdecap-ng -b ${ap_mac} ${path-to-capture-cap}" is used to decrypt a wireless network capture file.
Here's what each parameter means:
- "airdecap-ng" is the name of the command-line utility.
- "-b ${ap_mac}" is the option to specify the access point (AP) MAC address of the network whose capture file you want to decrypt. You need to replace "${ap_mac}" with the actual MAC address of the AP.
- "${path-to-capture-cap}" is the path to the capture file you want to decrypt. You need to replace "${path-to-capture-cap}" with the actual path to the capture file.
By running this command, airdecap-ng will attempt to decrypt the encrypted traffic captured in the specified capture file, using the specified AP MAC address as the key. It can be useful for analyzing network traffic and examining the data being transmitted over the wireless network.
