Program to sniff wireless pictures?

[ColKurtz]

In a recent TWiT podcast ("Yellow Lasers", 1/30), Steve Wozniak was on and mentioned that he was in an airport in San Jose recently, and a guy opened his laptop and showed him this program that "sniffs the air and prints any pictures going by".

It was an anecdote in a bigger discussion about wireless security, and he didn't mention the program's name (or maybe he didn't know). Does anyone know what he's talking about? I did a google search and came up with nada.

BTW..I have no misconceptions about using this for productivity nor professional use. I'm interested purely out of voyeurism/nosiness 🙂

Use Kismet to capture data; then open up Ethereal, load dump file then recreate any TCP/IP streams for HTTP image content?

if it's encrypted, and you dont' know the key, this just won't work. Not to mention, if there is a key change during the transfer.

no avctually this is a program ive used it though i cant recall the name(sorry lost alot of brain cells ofer the year)... it was a mac only program at the time i used it but itll work on any network, though its usually a little more difficult to sniff a wired switched network than a wireless, itll find these pictures even if your are running wep as is you are already on the network do you have the wep key..also if the network is running wep and theres data flowing over it its not that hard to crack a wep key if i can think or find the program ill get you a link that is if its still even in use......(used this on a isp once on a monitor switch port about 80 percent porn)
