Airtool 2 is a system menu bar app that makes it easy to capture Wi-Fi traffic and gives you quick access to functions of your Mac’s built-in Wi-Fi adapter, such as showing the current Wi-Fi state (associated or not associated) and channel information, and disconnecting from a network. Airtool 2 can also capture Zigbee and Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) traffic using a compatible USB sniffer dongle, and offers advanced features such as live packet captures using Wireshark, support for remote Wi-Fi captures using a suitable sensor, and integration with cloud services for managing captures.
