## Performance

### Processing Speed

| Packet Count | Processing Time | Memory Usage | Report Size |
|--------------|----------------|--------------|-------------|
| 10,000       | ~1 second      | 150 MB       | ~650 lines  |
| 50,000       | ~5 seconds     | 300 MB       | ~750 lines  |
| 100,000      | ~15 seconds    | 500 MB       | ~800 lines  |
| 500,000      | ~90 seconds    | 1.5 GB       | ~850 lines  |

### Optimization Tips

```bash
# Capture only relevant frames
tshark -i wlan0 -f "wlan type mgt or wlan type ctl" -w capture.pcap

# Limit capture duration
timeout 60 tshark -i wlan0 -w capture.pcap

# Filter by time window
editcap -A "2024-11-28 10:00:00" -B "2024-11-28 10:05:00" \
  full.pcap filtered.pcap

# Process large files in chunks
split -l 50000 large.pcap chunk_
for f in chunk_*; do python wifi6_feature_detector.py "$f"; done
```

---

## Troubleshooting

### Module Import Errors
```bash
# Ensure detection_modules/ exists with all files
ls detection_modules/
# Should show: __init__.py, client_capabilities.py, security_analysis.py,
#              rrm_features.py, qos_analysis.py, power_save.py

# Check Python path
python -c "import sys; print(sys.path)"
```

### Scapy Version Issues
```bash
# Upgrade to latest Scapy (2.5.0+)
pip install --upgrade scapy

# Verify version
python -c "import scapy; print(scapy.__version__)"
```

### Empty Analysis Sections
**Cause:** PCAP doesn't contain relevant frame types
**Solution:**
- Capture longer duration
- Use monitor mode for complete frame visibility
- Check JSON output to see raw detection counts
- Verify capture includes management/control frames

### Permission Denied (Linux)
```bash
# Run with sudo for monitor mode
sudo python wifilyzer.py capture.pcap

# Or change permissions
sudo chmod +x wifilyzer.py
```

### High Memory Usage
```bash
# Process in streaming mode for large files
# Split file first
tcpdump -r large.pcap -w chunk_ -C 100

# Process each chunk
for file in chunk_*; do
  python wifilyzer.py "$file"
done
```

### Wireshark Filter Not Working
**Problem:** Filter syntax differs between Wireshark versions

**Solution for Wireshark 4.2.0+:**
- Use `wlan_radio.*` for RadioTap fields
- Use `wlan.ext_tag.number` for Extension IEs
- Check version: `Help → About Wireshark`

**For older versions (3.x):**
- Use `radiotap.*` for RadioTap fields
- Use `wlan.tag.number` for standard IEs

## Contributing

Contributions welcome! Here's how to add new detection modules:

### Adding a New Module

1. **Create module file:**
```python
# detection_modules/new_feature.py
def detect_new_feature(packets):
    """Detect new WiFi feature"""
    results = {
        'detected': False,
        'count': 0,
        'details': []
    }

    for pkt in packets:
        # Your detection logic here
        if meets_criteria(pkt):
            results['detected'] = True
            results['count'] += 1

    return results
```

2. **Add import to main file:**
```python
from detection_modules.new_feature import detect_new_feature
```

3. **Add wrapper method:**
```python
def detect_new_feature_wrapper(self):
    """Wrapper for new feature detection"""
    return detect_new_feature(self.packets)
```

4. **Update run_analysis():**
```python
print("[*] Detecting new feature...")
self.results['new_feature'] = self.detect_new_feature_wrapper()
```

5. **Add report section:**
```python
def _print_new_feature_section(self):
    """Print Section XX: New Feature"""
    feature = self.results.get('new_feature', {})
    print("\n╔" + "=" * 98 + "╗")
    print("║" + " " * 30 + "SECTION XX: NEW FEATURE" + " " * 45 + "║")
    print("╚" + "=" * 98 + "╝\n")
    # Your formatting here
```

### Development Guidelines
- Follow PEP 8 style guide
- Include docstrings for all functions
- Add type hints where appropriate
- Write tests for new features
- Update documentation
- Add Wireshark filters for new detections
