I'm doing some experiments over 802.11 and 3G/GSM networks. So that, my machine has to "sniff" traffic both wlan and 3G network. On the Wlan i think i can manage that by using wireshark. But, 3G network i can't find any sniffer for that.. also.. I don't have any 3G adaptor. Can anyone give me some advice on this?

Kind regards.

  • For wifi i know, and i use wireshark of course. But i've been wondering if there were some adaptar (and of course some software) to sniff 3G – Pedro Neves Apr 22 '13 at 12:20

You can't sniff anything without a proper hardware. Get a 3G adaptor.

You need a 3G modem, look at this one. But, the problem in Sniffing 3G is that the data communicated with the base station is ciphered, you may try, but i don't think that Wireshark per example can sniff 3G data!
