WIFI_PCAP_START - start an optimized pcap log of Wi-Fi packets

WIFI_PCAP_STOP - stop a running pcap log

When to use them

A pcap log file gives a standard record of packets seen.

The Pineapple Recon engine can automatically make an optimized pcap log. Using in-kernel filtering, the Recon system minimizes the extraneous data captured in a pcap capture, trimming data packets and other content.

Use the tcpdump tool to take a complete, unfiltered pcap directly from an interface.
