# WiFi.monitor Module
|
||
| Since | Origin / Contributor | Maintainer | Source |

| 2017-12-20 | [Philip Gladstone](https://github.com/pjsg) | [Philip Gladstone](https://github.com/pjsg) | [wifi_monitor.c](../../app/modules/wifi_monitor.c)|
|
||
|
||
This is an optional module that is only included if `LUA_USE_MODULES_WIFI_MONITOR` is defined in the `user_modules.h` file. This module
|
||
provides access to the monitor mode features of the ESP8266 chipset. In particular, it provides access to received WiFi management frames.
|
||
|
||
This module is not for casual use -- it requires an understanding of IEEE802.11 management protocols.
|
||
|
||
## wifi.monitor.start()
|
||
|
||
This registers a callback function to be called whenever a management frame is received. Note that this can be at quite a high rate, so some limited
|
||
filtering is provided before the callback is invoked. Only the first 110 bytes or so of the frame are returned -- this is an SDK restriction.
|
||
Any connected AP/station will be disconnected. Calling this function sets the channel back to 1.
|
||
|
||
#### Syntax
|
||
`wifi.monitor.start([filter parameters,] mgmt_frame_callback)`
|
||
|
||
#### Parameters
|
||
- filter parameters. This is a byte offset (1 based) into the underlying data structure, a value to match against, and an optional mask to use for matching.
|
||
The data structure used for filtering is 12 bytes of [radio header](#the-radio-header), and then the actual frame. The first byte of the frame is therefore numbered 13. The filter
|
||
values of 13, 0x80 will just extract beacon frames.
|
||
- `mgmt_frame_callback` is a function which is invoked with a single argument which is a `wifi.packet` object which has many methods and attributes.
|
||
|
||
|
||
#### Returns
|
||
nothing.
|
||
|
||
#### Example
|
||
```
|
||
wifi.monitor.start(13, 0x80, function(pkt)
|
||
print ('Beacon: ' .. pkt.bssid_hex .. " '" .. pkt[0] .. "' ch " .. pkt[3]:byte(1))
|
||
end)
|
||
wifi.monitor.channel(6)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## wifi.monitor.stop()
|
||
|
||
This disables the monitor mode and returns to normal operation. There are no parameters and no return value.
|
||
|
||
#### Syntax
|
||
`wifi.monitor.stop()`
|
||
|
||
## wifi.monitor.channel()
|
||
|
||
This sets the channel number to monitor. Note that in many applications you will want to step through the channel numbers at regular intervals. Beacon
|
||
frames (in particular) are typically sent every 102 milliseconds, so a switch time of (say) 150 milliseconds seems to work well.
|
||
Note that this function should be called after starting to monitor, since `wifi.monitor.start` resets the channel back to 1.
|
||
|
||
#### Syntax
|
||
`wifi.monitor.channel(channel)`
|
||
|
||
#### Parameters
|
||
- `channel` sets the channel number in the range 1 to 15.
|
||
|
||
#### Returns
|
||
nothing.
|
||
|
||
# wifi.packet object
|
||
|
||
This object provides access to the raw packet data and also many methods to extract data from the packet in a simple way.
|
||
|
||
## packet:radio_byte()
|
||
|
||
This is like the `string.byte` method, except that it gives access to the bytes of the [radio header](#the-radio-header).
|
||
|
||
#### Syntax
|
||
`packet:radio_byte(n)`
|
||
|
||
#### Parameters
|
||
- `n` the byte number (1 based) to get from the [radio header](#the-radio-header) portion of the packet
|
||
|
||
#### Returns
|
||
0-255 as the value of the byte
|
||
nothing if the offset is not within the [radio header](#the-radio-header).
|
||
|
||
## packet:frame_byte()
|
||
|
||
This is like the `string.byte` method, except that it gives access to the bytes of the received frame.
|
||
|
||
#### Syntax
|
||
`packet:frame_byte(n)`
|
||
|
||
#### Parameters
|
||
- `n` the byte number (1 based) to get from the received frame.
|
||
|
||
#### Returns
|
||
0-255 as the value of the byte
|
||
nothing if the offset is not within the received frame.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## packet:radio_sub()
|
||
|
||
This is like the `string.sub` method, except that it gives access to the bytes of the [radio header](#the-radio-header).
|
||
|
||
#### Syntax
|
||
`packet:radio_sub(start, end)`
|
||
|
||
#### Parameters
|
||
Same rules as for `string.sub` except that it operates on the [radio header](#the-radio-header).
|
||
|
||
#### Returns
|
||
A string according to the `string.sub` rules.
|
||
|
||
## packet:frame_sub()
|
||
|
||
This is like the `string.sub` method, except that it gives access to the bytes of the received frame.
|
||
|
||
#### Syntax
|
||
`packet:frame_sub(start, end)`
|
||
|
||
#### Parameters
|
||
Same rules as for `string.sub` except that it operates on the received frame.
|
||
|
||
#### Returns
|
||
A string according to the `string.sub` rules.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## packet:radio_subhex()
|
||
|
||
This is like the `string.sub` method, except that it gives access to the bytes of the [radio header](#the-radio-header). It also
|
||
converts them into hex efficiently.
|
||
|
||
#### Syntax
|
||
`packet:radio_subhex(start, end [, seperator])`
|
||
|
||
#### Parameters
|
||
Same rules as for `string.sub` except that it operates on the [radio header](#the-radio-header).
|
||
- `seperator` is an optional sting which is placed between the individual hex pairs returned.
|
||
|
||
#### Returns
|
||
A string according to the `string.sub` rules, converted into hex with possible inserted spacers.
|
||
|
||
## packet:frame_sub()
|
||
|
||
This is like the `string.sub` method, except that it gives access to the bytes of the received frame.
|
||
|
||
#### Syntax
|
||
`packet:frame_subhex(start, end [, seperator])`
|
||
|
||
#### Parameters
|
||
Same rules as for `string.sub` except that it operates on the received frame.
|
||
- `seperator` is an optional sting which is placed between the individual hex pairs returned.
|
||
|
||
#### Returns
|
||
A string according to the `string.sub` rules, converted into hex with possible inserted spacers.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## packet:ie_table()
|
||
|
||
This returns a table of the information elements from the management frame. The table keys values are the
|
||
information element numbers (0 - 255). Note that IE0 is the SSID. This method is mostly only useful if
|
||
you need to determine which information elements were in the management frame.
|
||
|
||
#### Syntax
|
||
`packet:ie_table()`
|
||
|
||
#### Parameters
|
||
None.
|
||
|
||
#### Returns
|
||
A table with all the information elements in it.
|
||
|
||
#### Example
|
||
```
|
||
print ("SSID", packet:ie_table()[0])
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Note that this is possibly the worst way of getting the SSID.
|
||
|
||
#### Alternative
|
||
|
||
The `packet` object itself can be indexed to extract the information elements.
|
||
|
||
#### Example
|
||
```
|
||
print ("SSID", packet[0])
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This is more efficient than the above approach, but requires you to remember that IE0 is the SSID.
|
||
|
||
## packet.<attribute>
|
||
|
||
The packet object has many attributes on it. These allow easy access to all the fields, though not an easy way to enumerate them. All integers are unsigned
|
||
except where noted. Information Elements are only returned if they are completely within the captured frame. This can mean that for some frames, some of the
|
||
information elements can be missing.
|
||
|
||
When a string is returned as the value of a field, it can (and often is) be a binary string with embedded nulls. All information elements are returned as strings
|
||
even if they are only one byte long and look like a number in the specification. This is purely to make the interface consistent. Note that even SSIDs can contain
|
||
embedded nulls.
