I keep getting this in macbook pro: - Found no signals, are you sure en1 supports monitor mode? any workaround?

@vanarpsharma It might be a tshark permissions issue. Did you allow non-root? You can try running in sudo to see if it works. But, as per the README, you can update tshark it so it can be run as non-root:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure wireshark-common     (select YES)
sudo usermod -a -G wireshark $USER

You will need to logout and log back in for changes to effect. This way you don't need to run with sudo.

  1. brew install wireshark
  2. make sure you can run tshark without sudo. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41126943/wireshark-you-dont-have-permission-to-capture-on-that-device-mac
  3. pip install howmanypeoplearearound

Most broadcom cards should work fine. https://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=compatibility_drivers

Your wifi adapter on your macbook is probably en0

iblh commented 7 years ago 
  1. brew install wireshark
  2. pip install howmanypeoplearearound

  3. use en0 as Specify WiFi adapter (use ifconfig to determine)
