Thread network technology - 03 Sniffing IEEE packages (Thread and ZigBee) with Wireshark

Thread is a network technology for wireless networks based on IPv6. It is ideally suited for home automation, Industry 4.0 and wireless sensor-actuator networks. In this video, we will make a sniffer stick with the low cost nRF52840-dongle from Nordic Semiconductor and capture Thread packages with the network protocol analyzer Wireshark.
