Backtrack wireshark monitor mode8/7/2023 According to the wire tap act, it is required to fill out an application that shows the facts such as nature of the crime, place of the crime and details about the communication facilities which are going to be intercepted. In other words getting a court order for a wiretap/intercept is a very strict process. There are so many requirements that needs to be fulfilled before getting a wiretap/intercepting search warrant. Due to the fact of tapping someone’s wireless network can violate multiple individuals’ privacy, investigators only allow to wiretap if it is a serious crime. Most of the time in a conversation there would always be two or more parties involved so that the tapping a conversation not only violates the target’s privacy, it also violates the privacy of whoever else is involved in that specific conversation. Getting a search warrant for wiretapping is harder than a regular search warrant. Similarly in Europe, establishing interception without right by any means is a criminal offense according to the “Convention on Cybercrime” Chapter II – Section 1 – Article 3 – Illegal interception (“Convention on cybercrime”, 2007). §§ 2510-2522, states the contents of communication (“Searching and Seizing Computer…”, 2002). §§ 3121-3127, centered in addressing information (like 802.11 protocol headers), and by the Wiretap Statute (“Title III”), 18 U.S.C. Real-time interception, as in wireless networks, is covered by the Pen/Trap Statute, 18 U.S.C. §§ 2701-2712) of 1986 covers stored communications (“Searching and Seizing Computer…”, 2002). Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA, 18 U.S.C. federal laws that control the interception, access, use, disclosure and privacy protection of electronic and wire communications. Wiretapping/traffic acquisitions investigative skills are regulated in the U.S by the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) of 1995 and in Europe by the European Council Resolution of 17 January 1995 on the Lawful Interception of Telecommunications (“Communication Assistance”, 1994) (“European Council Resolution.”,1995). In 1968 federal wiretap law was passed and it was also called the “Title III or wiretap act (“Surveillance self”, 2010). Until 1967 fourth amendment did not require a warrant to tap private conversations. It is illegal in U.S to intercept a wireless connection without a proper warrant by the court but exceptions are given to network operators or to the service providers to manage their businesses. The paper then discusses the analysis of captured wireless network traffic, technologies available and the challenges presented to the analysis of network traffic. Next we looks at wireless traffic acquisition and the challenges presented in acquiring traffic with the current technologies. The first part of this paper will address the current legal environment available for investigators to conduct wireless forensics activities and the drawbacks and red tape presented by current laws. With the recent growth in wireless communication (Wi-Fi) 802.11 specification in business and domestic levels, the demand for wireless forensics technology has grown as well. Wireless forensics is a sub domain of digital forensics and it includes the capturing and analyzing of wireless network traffic.
