Using a network adapter in active mode in Kali Linux, we managed to sniff the traffic sent and received through a target Access Point (AP), inspect the individual packets in WireShark and create a personal profile of the owner of each device connected, obtaining data about the online applications that they are using, such as WhatsApp, e-mail clients, or data about their identity.
