Can I map MAC addresses to names?
It would be super cool if I could alias transmitter and receiver MAC addresses in 802.11 captures. Tracking MAC addresses is pretty hard... but if I could call an access point "AP01" and a client "MacBook", that would make reading PCAPs super slick.
I tried using both "ethers" and "hosts", but the changes don't seem to reflect anywhere in Wireshark. Am I doing something wrong?
Operating system? Tested on a Mac with current version and it works OK. Are you on Windows, Linux?
Hey Bob, I'm using macOS 10.13.6. Are you using "ethers" or "hosts"? Would you be willing to paste in an example? I must be doing something wrong.
