To try DSNIFF with -p (getting passwords with pcap) option

First i've captured packets of my Open access point with airodump-ng and saved them to a pcap file and dsniff worked easily with no error But now i am trying to capture with wireshark and dsniff is giving an error and not working..

dsniff -p file.pcap

Dsniff's output is just:

dsniff: using file.pcap

i have tried every format in wireshark but dsniff in unable to read it.. any idea ?

dSniff was not upgraded since few years. I believe your problem is caused by the fact that files saved by Wireshark are in fact pcap-ng (next gen) which is different than old pcap.

I would suggest two solutions:

  1. convert pcap-ng file to pcap using one of the available tools (pcapng.com or editcap tool that comes with wireshark).

  2. compile dsniff from source with new libpcap.
