```
software interface modes (can always be added):
* AP/VLAN

```
### Getting a monitor interface
```
iw phy#0 interface add mon0 type monitor
```
Add a easy interface to wifi hw and make it a monitor. Can check again with 'iw dev' to make sure it is really in monitor mode. If there is an other interface it must be taken down or deleted e.g with
```
iw dev <phy#0 other interface> del # or
ip link set <phy#0 other interface> down
```
Then to enable `mon0` interface,
```
ip link set mon0 up
```
To effectively capture packets, we should set the interface to the correct frequency. For this we get the channel e.g. via the above mentioned `nmcli dev wifi`. We can see that, e.g. the BSSID I am connected to (marked with `*`) is on channel 100. We can also see that it there is also a BSSID belonging to the same SSID with the interface on channel 6. I.e., it is running one interface in 2.4 GHz (802.11b/g/n/ax/be) and one in 5 GHz (802.11a/h/n/ac/ax/be). We chose which which channel to tune our `mon0` interface to, then we can lookup what the center frequency is on [wikipedia(List of Wifi Channels)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels). E.g. for channel 6 (i.e. 2.4 GHz radio) we see that the center frequency is 2437. We set our interface to that frequency:
```
iw dev mon0 set freq 2437
```
Now double check that the interface is in monitor mode and tunedto the correct frequency:
```
iw dev mon0 info
```
Should give an output like
```
Interface mon0
ifindex 7
wdev 0x2
addr a8:42:a1:8b:f4:e3
type monitor
wiphy 0
channel 6 (2437 MHz), width: 20 MHz (no HT), center1: 2437 MHz
txpower 20.00 dBm
```
This concludes preparing the wifi card for packet capture in monitor mode.
### [remarks]
- `sudo` is probably required for these commands
- These network tools are what is available on fedora 40, on $(uname -r)= 6.8.8 Linux Kernel. It might be that other OSs still use older tools, which are being phased out. But other operating systems might still be using older versions of these commands. For a table on how they match up, see [this](https://www.tecmint.com/deprecated-linux-networking-commands-and-their-replacements/) recent article (July 2023), according to which the old commands are even deprecated in recent Debian and Ubuntu releases.
- If smth is not working run `rfkill list` to check device is blocked. If it is, `rfkill unblock 0`, where `0` is the same index used above and represents `phy0` /`phy#0`.
- To ensure that [[NetworkManager]] not managing you card, `nmcli device set wlp0s20f0u6 managed no` if the interface is called `wlp0s20f0u6`. Check with `nmcli dev`, the STATE should be "unmanaged".
- See resources on how to put interface/wifi hardware back into managed mode, if you need the card for personal use.
# Important
Monitor mode is actually completely useless, unless we can observe the EAPOL handshake. That means the Wifi AP should be using WPA/WPA2 with psk. Also we need to know the SSID and passphrase. So it is still better if we can setup an environment where we can just do port mirroring from the wifi router, or setup ourselves in AP mode, but then we need to be able to bridge to the internet somehow, which I haven't managed reliably. Have done some testing on raspberry pi seemed to work. But raspberry pi sometimes goes to sleep so the AP goes down which means the IoT device loses connection.
If we happen to know the MAC address we need, then in wireshark we can filter `wlan.addr == [MAC]`. In tcpdump we can use the filter

# `IOTTB_HOME`
I introduced the environment variable `IOTTB_HOME` into the code. It is used to configure where the root of a iottb database is. #TODO this means that some code needs refactoring. But, I think it will streamline the code. The path in `IOTTB_HOME` shall be used to define the database root. Then, all the code handling adding devices and running captures can rely on the fact that a canonical home exists. Unfortunately I've hard coded quite a bit of ad-hoc configuration to use `Path.cwd()`, i.e. the current working directory, by default. So there will be some refactoring involved in switching over to using `IOTTB_HOME`s value as the default path.
# Adding Functionality
## Quick and dirty capture
I want to have a mode which just takes a command and runs it directly with its arguments.
The question is weather to only allow a preconfigured list of commands or in principle allow any command to be passed and write the output. I tend toward providing a subcommand for each utility we want to support. The question is what to do about the syntax errors of those commands. Maybe the thing to do is only write a file into the db if the command runs successfully.
### Refactoring the tcpdump capture
With the above idea it would be possible to also refactor or rewrite how tcpdump is called completely. But, the command has a lot of options and maybe its better also offer some guidance to users via `-h`, e.g. to only input the needed and correct filters for example. Choosing the wrong filter could make the capture potentially useless and one might only see that after the capture has completed.
## Converting pcap to csv
I want an option such that one can automatically convert a captures resulting file into a csv. Probably will focus on tcpdump for now, since other tools like [[mitmproxy]] have different output files.
## Defining Experiment
I want a pair of commands that 1. provide a guided cli interface to define an experiment and 2. to run that experiment -> Here [Collective Knowledge Framework](https://github.com/mlcommons/ck) might actually come in handy. The already have tooling for setting up and defining aspects of experiments so that they become reproducible. So maybe one part of the `iottb` as a tool would be to write the correct json files into the directory which contain the informatin on how the command was run. Caveat: All all option values are the same, basically only, if it was used or not (flagging options) or that it was used (e.g. an ip address was used in the filter but the specific value of the ip is of no use for reproducing). Also, Collective Minds tooling relies very common ML algos/framework and static data. So maybe this only comes into play after a capture has been done. So maybe a feature extraction tool (see [[further considerations#Usage paths/ Workflows]]) should create the data and built the database separately.
