All About Handheld/PDA/Smartphone Wireless Sniffing
A wireless sniffer is a software and/or hardware solution that provides the user with the ability to capture and decode packets as they pass over the airwaves. While most wireless sniffers require the support of a laptop (or desktop), it is possible to place the power of a sniffer into a handheld device. That said, PDA sniffing does come with some limitations. We recently wrote an article for InformIT.com that discusses how a wireless sniffer works and details the issues you may have to deal with when setting up a mobile device for sniffing.
