Using "verbose tools" is only risky if those tools can see anything that
you don't want servers to see. At a minimum, Tor and those tools should
be running in an isolated system (at least a VM) that's never used for
anything that you want kept private. Better is to have the Tor client
and tools, apps, etc in separate VMs, as Whonix does.

For WiFi, just change the Wireshark captures from eth0 to whatever your
system's WiFi adapter is called.

That's partly my style. I include every instruction, assuming very
little knowledge. While it may seem complicated, it's actually very
simple. Just do each step, exactly as it's written.

Also, working with VMs is a great way to learn, because at worst you'll
be just trashing a VM. You can start by creating a basic VM, running
updates, installing tools, tweaking, etc. Then do actual work with
clones of that basic VM. Starting over after trashing a VM just takes a
few minutes.
