thank you. im trying to use this as i suspect someone might be using my wifi and even though i dont mind an awful amount id just like to know for sure. i was going to use ettercap to find out who they actually are but i dont know if i need to use a special filter to get anythin
Just log into your router, usually it's 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1. Then look for "Attached device" - you can see all the computer that are using/stealing your internet.

thank you for your help.
i tried tcpdump -i wlan0 which then showed me some traffic when i navigated to google.com. i could clearly see my ip and laptop name but i couldnt see my mac address. is this normal?
also i had another quick play with ettercap and my router (default gateway is 192.168.1.254 do i put this in section 1 or 2? i put both my router and my other laptop into the same section (1) and then when i navigated to myyearbook it showed my password and login but im not sure if that would work with someone else who is conected to my router. sorry to be a hassle but thanks in advance
Well if someone is using your wifi why not just lock it down with wpa2 aes or the like?Originally Posted by cain#1
Not to mention as was stated the router's web iface should be able to tell you all you need to know.
tcpdump and the like seems to be a bit overkill for what you are trying to do.
