Does anyone know if there is any packet capturing code available for the ESP8266? I'm trying to capture packets using it in monitor mode, like Wireshark does. Is it doable?

Thanks

For inspiration, have a look at the Packet monitor project of spacehuhn.

Another, more out of the box, solution might be the ESP WiFi NAT Router project by Martin Ger.
In that project, your ESP will act as a gateways/router with the ability to listen into a (selectable) packetstream.

Assumption is the mother of all f*ckups. At least: that's what I'm assuming.
