What was it captured on? It has only been tested with captures from a MacBook (BCM chipset) and from QCA linux devices. It requires linear increasing hardware timestamps (there are some bugs in the capture hardware for both BCM and QCA and sometimes the hardware timestamp has errors). If it’s a QCA capture the timestamp marks the end of the frame, not the start of the data field, there is a checkbox in the preferences to account for that.

I'm on WS 3.2.1 and
checked the "Enable Wireless Timeline (experimental) checkbox
under Preferernces > Protocols > 802.11 Radio.
I don't see the timeline.

Has
everyone seen the wifi visualization that I added to Wireshark?
It's experimental and has to be turned on in the 802.11
preferences.

There's a script called './start' in the toplevel directory. It
requires you to have the appengine SDK installed
(unfortunately). In
retrospect, using appengine for this was a bad idea, but we all
make
mistakes in our youth. But anyway, you can download the
appengine SDK
and run a local copy for free, so you don't need actual
appengine.

So how do you use it and what's the output look like?
I downloaded it and opened the index.html file in a browser
and
it doesn't appear to work.
It's been years since I had to dig this deep into the wifi
stack.
Avery's group produced a lot of cool tools while
gfiber was in growth mode, he's since moved onto doing cool
things
with wireguard ( https://tailscale.com/ )and I doubt he's
maintaining
this anymore. We had lots and lots of other very adhoc tools
lying
around... parsing wifi caps is a !@#!!
Sorry about that, wavedroplet never quite got to something
like
release quality. It requires more work.
However, it shouldn't just totally fail either :) Perhaps
there's an
error visible in the javascript console, or python is emitting
a
problem somewhere (note that it's a python2 program, not
python3).
Actually, now that I think of it, I don't know why there's an
index.html at all. You definitely need to run the python
backend and
connect to that, which probably renders the index.html as a
template.
Have fun,
Avery
Thanks for the reply. And how do I run the python backend?
