Hello, I just captured some Beacon Frames from my Wifi for education purpose. The network is WPA2 encrypted, but which flag shows me that information? Thanks for any help.

You want to look at the RSN IE (information element):

Tag: RSN Information
   Tag Number: RSN Information (48)
   Tag length: 20
   RSN Version: 1
   Group Cipher Suite: 00:0f:ac (Ieee 802.11) AES (CCM)
   Pairwise Cipher Suite Count: 1
   Pairwise Cipher Suite List 00:0f:ac (Ieee 802.11) AES (CCM)
   Auth Key Management (AKM) Suite Count: 1
   Auth Key Management (AKM) List 00:0f:ac (Ieee 802.11) WPA
   RSN Capabilities: 0x0028

This will provide some of the information needed: WPA2 supported, Personal (PSK) or Enterprise. This example is WPA2-Enterprise.

WPA2 = uses the RSN Information element (48)

WPA = uses Element ID 221 with OUI and type fields of 00:50:F2:01
