USB-KW41Z direct sniffer access

bigtwisty — Mon, 14 May 2018 18:16:47 GMT

Due to security measures taken by my IT department my PC won't allow the Protocol Analyzer application to create a virtual network. This means Wireshark cannot access packet data. Is there a way to write my own application to access the sniffer? I am trying to read 802.15.4 packets for development of a project using the R41Z module.

Hi Jeremy,

Is it a long shot, but presuming that you are one Windows, try these two commands into an CMD with administrator rights: "net stop npf" and after "net start npf".

Please tell me if it worked.

Regards,

Lilian

The whole problem is that I do not have administrative rights to my own laptop due to IT policy at my company. It makes several things like this very difficult.

Hello,

Unfortunately, the source files for the sniffer aren't public.

I believe your best option is to try to convince your IT department to grant administrator access for this specific purpose.

All the best,
