   13 Title:   Wifipcap Library

   17 Description:
   18 ============
   19 
   20 A simple C++ wrapper around libpcap that allows applications to
   21 selectively demultiplex 802.11 frames, and the most common layer 2 and
   22 layer 3 protocols contained within them. Basically, the wifipcap
   23 library handles all the parsing of 802.11 frames (and/or layer 2/3
   24 packets) from the pcap file (or stream).
   25 
   26 Some of the code is derived from tcpdump.

   28 This program somewhat reworked by Simson Garfinkel
   29 
   30 Linux: Requires libpcap >= 0.9.4 on Linux.
   31 
   32 Windows: Requires WinPcap >= 4.0.2 and AirPcap for 802.11 capture

   35 Usage:
   36 ======
   37 
   38 For an overview see wifipcap.h. For an example, see sample.cpp.
   39 
   40 (0) Compile wifipcap. 
   41 
   42     In Linux:
   43     Enter this directory and type:
   44    
   45     make
   46 
   47     In Windows:
   48     Open wifipcap.sln in Visual Studio and build it.
   49     You will need to have the winpcap include and library files
   50     in the appropriate search paths.
   51 
   52 (1) Include the header "wifipcap.h" in your application C++ file(s).
   53 
   54 (2) Implement a subclass of WifipcapCallbacks. This class has one
   55     member function for each type of 802.11 frame and layer 2/3
   56     packets. Each of these functions will be called as a frame/packet
   57     is parsed.
   58 
   59 (3) Create an instance of Wifipcap with either a pcap trace file or
   60     a live device to capture packets from.
   61 
   62 (4) Call Wifipcap::Run with your instance of WifipcapCallbacks.
   63 
   64 (5) Compile your program linking to libpcap and wifipcap.a. 
   65 
   66     On Linux:
   67     g++ -o myprogram myprogram.c /path/to/wifipcap.a -lpcap
   68 
   69     On Windows:
   70     Link the following libraries: 
   71     wpcap.lib ws2_32.lib WINMM.LIB wifipcap.lib 
   72 
   73     Make sure wifipcap.lib is in the library path.
