I recently bought a WiFi adapter with Monitor mode (Alfa Network AWUS036NHA) and I want to sniff all my network traffic at my home.
The goal is to detect some packets sent and received by my 'physical' virtual assistant, Alexa (Amazon Echo Dot), on my computer (wired) with Wireshark. Basically I want to be able to see on real time when my virtual assistant communicate with Amazon Cloud servers.
I think this is not possible on Windows so I already tested it on Kali but I can only see connected devices and strange communications on my network (wlan0mon with monitor mode activated) as you can see below :
Also, it seems a little bit strange but I think the first time I put on the WiFi adapter on my Kali VM it worked! I'm pretty sure that I was able to see amzn packets with the MAC address of my virtual assistant.
I hope that I've been clear, anyone have an idea? Feel free to ask questions!
