Hi All,
I am new to kernel development. I am writing a kernel module that captures packet at the netfilter pre - routing hook.
I only want to capture the BEACON FRAME.
I have few queries:
1>When the beacon frame comes to receiving machine do the sk_buff gets allocated?
2> How can i identify the beacon frame at the pre routing hook?
3> Beacon frame consist of a string for authentication of client with the server, can i use sk_buff pointers to get access to that string, if sk_buff is allocated?

These beacon frames do not appear to be IP packets. If that is true, I don’t think you are going to see them in any netfilter hooks.
