I want to find a tool like omnipeek on my ubuntu precise, but didn't find.

Which tools can be used to capture WLAN packets on Linux?

Wireshark is a relatively popular tool, and works on a few flavors of Linux, as well as Mac and Windows

http://www.wireshark.org/

Looks like it's also in the repos

sudo apt-get install wireshark

    Hi Kyle, I launch wireshark and encounter "Couldn't run /usr/bin/dumpcap in child process: permission denied", what is wrong?

  • @OliveTwist I'm not familiar with omnipeek, but Wireshark does packet capture

If you already have and use Omnipeek... Use wireshark/dumpcap or even tcpdump on your Linux system to capture the packets to a PCAPNG format to be analysed in Omnipeek.
