[Personal tracker] Buy a Prism54 WiFi adapter #1

Open Thesola10 opened 4 years ago

Thesola10 commented 4 years ago

Yep, I'm an idiot and bought an official Nintendo Wi-Fi dongle, thinking it would run on Prism54. Turns out it can sniff packets, just not the ones sent by Ni-Fi/PictoChat. I'll be closing this bug when I get around to buying a compatible Wi-Fi adapter and make the original pictosniff work on it.

Question, what is special about the Prism54? Could a normal Wifi Adapter in Promiscuous/Injection mode work for this purpose?

@Krutonium I have actually tried sniffing PictoChat using the Nintendo Wi-Fi dongle (which works in monitor mode on Wireshark) and couldn't pick up any usable patterns. Since the original author of PictoSniff built it around Prism54 I suppose it would work better with that. I also did try modifying PictoSniff to use the Nintendo dongle and it couldn't register anything.

Also, interestingly, a stock DSi seems to generate data which the dongle picks up when sending a PictoChat through channel A, which a 3DS hacked to run PictoChat doesn't emit. Still nothing usable though.

@Thesola10 I am currently working on a project porting this to Python and using it for various other things, if you could point me to a Prism54 chipset, I would be happy to test!
