Description of Wi-Fi PCAP Capture

Wi-Fi PCAP Capture is a utility for capturing raw 802.11 frames (“Monitor mode”, or sometimes referred to as “Promiscuous mode”).
Wi-Fi PCAP Capture uses an external USB RTL8187 Wi-Fi card and does not require a custom ROM or root privileges.
You will need a device running Android 4 or newer (for USB host support), a working USB host mode implementation (some manufacturers do not have a working implementation), a USB OTG cable or USB host port (some tablet devices offer standard USB ports, other devices and phones will require a compatible USB OTG adapter cable), and a RTL8187 (802.11b/g) based wireless NIC, such as the Alfa One.
Currently other wireless chipsets are not supported, though hopefully in the future they will be.
Capture from the internal wireless device is not possible at this time.
Wi-Fi PCAP Capture is GPL, source is available on the website at http://www.kismetwireless.net/android-pcap/

    An amazing app that allows you to capture WiFi Deauthentication Packets directly from your Mobile Phone. The app has very similar background to the picture above but requires some tools in order for it to capture the packet connected to the device. The app is really amazing in terms of its features and its ability to perform a very complicated task and I would recommend this app for your next usage.

    Cannot get it to connect on any device. Have tried multiple phones, nexus 9, nexus 10. All of them say No USB device present despite OTG detectors saying it should work.
