[nostradamus01]

Same here!, i thought sniffer only shows macs with configs! now i get a load of ****

Not long ago it was all working fine!

are you connecting directley to your modem not through a router.

[nostradamus01]

yes im connected directly to the modem with no firewalls or even antivirus running

[toolzkit]

Click the arrow at the side of the save button include bootfile then scan again

[nostradamus01]

hi and thanks for that but ive already tried that i tried that when i first scanned and still get nothing

[r3l04d]

Done that too, sounds silly but have you tried recently after a full reboot of everything?
On the off chance iv just tried another scan and its working, bit odd

[toolzkit]

tricky one this....so lets recap

one modem connected to pc/laptop with ethernet cable and you can surf the net?
run sniffer, your firewall might pop up saying unblock or block app so click unblock DOH or just turn it off.

click on bruteforce and save bootfile put a base mac in and scan. is this right so far?

yeah tried that think i'll try a different base mac i was told to use DHCPforce and use 1 of the macs i find in that as my mac has alrady been used in DHCP sniffer in different locations so apparently it will return the same results but going to have a try with my mac over night see what results i get
