Something to check ALL traffic of a router ?

[Darkrainbow]

So, I have a feeling that my bro is downloading something all the time.
We have WeBee-wireless router.
He uses his laptop and I use mine.
So is there any application or way to check how much data is moving to his computer ?
I'm using Windows 7.

-Thanks!

im pretty sure most routers has a build-in function for logging the flow of data ... properly not all tho

If you mean in the router, then yes, but that depends on what router you got. You can't do that on most commercial routers due to lack of storage. Anyway you don't need the router to see what a Wifi client traffic. Do you have a Wifi card in your computer? Internal or USB?

I'm using Windows 7.

Bad OS for what you want to do.

Nope. Most routers have almost no internal storage, and that would require a big amount.

Yeah I mean from the router to his computer.
This is what the router looks like:

I am not certain of what router it is but it is WeBee (can't remember the model, yeah it's cheap overheating piece of sh*t )
And I have internal Wifi card.
Maybe I will install linux or some other OS, I just like windows because of games. What OS would you suggest m0skit0 ?

if youlive in the same house, I bet you share the same router. Anyway, doesn't matter.

Usual *** router from ISPs. I bet it weighs less than air. That won't do what you're asking for.

And I have internal Wifi card.

That sucks because you can't use Wifi from a virtual machine. You'll have to install Linux natively

What OS would you suggest m0skit0 ?

For what you want to do, BackTrack, no doubt.

So, because the router is a pile of ****, I can't check the traffic?
Or is it still possible with backtrack ?

Do you not know what a live cd is? they are slow but if all you need it for is a few hours of packet sniffing it will work. also you can use wifi from a virtual machine if you buy a usb wifi adapter(get one that backtrack 5 has an injection mode driver for).
yea so OP, just burn a copy of backtrack 5. r2 is the newest atm, but It has problems on my laptop so I recommend r1, might just be my laptop. and then fire up ettercap or wireshark or some other sniffer, idk what sniffers it comes with, i mostly use it to dauth people from the wifi at school when they are watching stupid music videos too loud(just dauth everyone if theres a lot or people and u dnt want to figure out wich ones the right mac). or you could just run cain with the winpcap driver in windows 7 (google for cain and able its some good ****) Norton will detect it as a virus cause it could be used to crack older hashes

So, because the router is a pile of ****, I can't check the traffic?

you should be able to sniff packets and do arp poisoning on any router (unless its a switch based network and yours is not) but I recommend you smash that router and get one with an 8mb flash and 32mb ram that runs dd-wrt
