Abstract
A simple C++ wrapper around libpcap for parsing 802.11 frames from the pcap file.
A simple C++ wrapper around libpcap that allows applications to selectively demultiplex 802.11 frames, and the most common layer 2 and layer 3 protocols contained within them. Basically, the wifipcap library handles all the parsing of 802.11 frames (and/or layer 2/3 packets) from the pcap file (or stream). wifipcap is now embedded in tcpflow, a TCP/IP session reassembler maintained by Simson Garfinkel.

Build :
- How to compile wifipcap. In Linux: Enter this directory and type: make In Windows: Open wifipcap.sln in Visual Studio and build it. You will need to have the winpcap include and library files in the appropriate search paths.
Usage :
For an overview see wifipcap.h. (1) Include the header "wifipcap.h" in your application C++ file(s). (2) Implement a subclass of WifipcapCallbacks. This class has one member function for each type of 802.11 frame and layer 2/3 packets. Each of these functions will be called as a frame/packet is parsed. (3) Create an instance of Wifipcap with either a pcap trace file or a live device to capture packets from. (4) Call Wifipcap::Run with your instance of WifipcapCallbacks. (5) Compile your program linking to libpcap and wifipcap.a. On Linux: g++ -o myprogram myprogram.c /path/to/wifipcap.a -lpcap On Windows: Link the following libraries: wpcap.lib ws2_32.lib WINMM.LIB wifipcap.lib Make sure wifipcap.lib is in the library path.
Example :
Please see sample.cpp.
Algorithm :
Most of the code is derived from tcpdump. Linux: Requires libpcap >= 0.9.4 on Linux. Windows: Requires WinPcap >= 4.0.2 and AirPcap for 802.11 capture See: http://www.cacetech.com/support/downloads.htm

These datasets are part of Community Resource for Archiving Wireless Data (CRAWDAD). CRAWDAD began in 2004 at Dartmouth College as a place to share wireless network data with the research community. Its purpose was to enable access to data from real networks and real mobile users at a time when collecting such data was challenging and expensive. The archive has continued to grow since its inception, and starting in summer 2022 is being housed on IEEE DataPort.
