Capture Radiotap Headers in Python

3 New Member
Hey!

I'm new to python and I am trying to capture Radiotap Headers and to parse them to get the mac timestamp out.

So I found this for parsing radiotap headers:
http://www.wand.net.nz/~smr26/python/radiotap/radiotap.py

but before i can use that i need to capture the whole header in a string, and THATS my question right now: "How can I capture a radiotype header to a string?"

I already set up a ath0 device on monitore mode and with wireshark I can see the packets been captured and I can see the radio type headers so i just need to get in in python code :)

here is how i set up the ath0 device:

#!/bin/sh
wlanconfig ath0 destroy
wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode monitor
iwconfig ath0 channel 11
echo 803 >/proc/sys/net/ath0/dev_typ

i'm sure it's not very complex, i'm just new to this stuff...


thx!

i, I have trying to code a small console app that will allow a user to select a window and then create a screen capture of the window. I haven't been able to figure out how to do the screen capture part. The code is as follows, the commented out lines at the end are things I have tried, but don't work. Whenever I try to create a compatibe Bitmap or DC it comes back with an error as win32ui: CreateCompatibleDC failed

I perform a XML-RPC call by calling xmlrpclibBasicAuth which in turn calls xmlrpclib. This call of course sends a HTTP request with correct HTTP headers. The response is correctly parsed by xmlrpclib, and I get my desired values. However, I also need to get the raw HTTP headers from the HTTP response. There is a cookie in the HTTP response and I need to read that cookie. How could I do that?

Hi, I was wondering if I can do a capture of a VNC screen in python. Kinda like this http://search.cpan.org/~lbrocard/Net-VNC-0.35/lib/Net/VNC.pm but without opening a VNC window or doing a screen capture. Thanks for any suggestions -- "Formulations of number theory: Complete, Consistent, Non-trivial. Choose two."

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents.
