APToolsby Kirby KuehlAPTools is a Win32/Unix 802.11b rogue access point detection tool that is able to locate access points over the "wired" network.Asleapby Joshua WrightRecovers weak LEAP passwords. Can read live from any wireless interface in RFMON mode. Can monitor a single channel, or perform channel hopping to look for targets. This tool is released as a proof-of-concept to demonstrate a weakness in the LEAP protocol. LEAP is the Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol, intellectual property of Cisco Systems, Inc. LEAP is a security mechanism available only on Cisco access points to perform authentication of end-users and access points. LEAP is written as a standard EAP-type, but is not compliant with the 802.1X specification since the access point modifies packets in transit, instead of simply passing them to a authentication server (e.g. RADIUS).BSD-AirToolsby Dachb0den Labsbsd-airtools is a package that provides a complete toolset for wireless 802.11b auditing. Namely, it currently contains a bsd-based wep cracking application, called dweputils (as well as kernel patches for NetBSD, OpenBSD, and FreeBSD). It also contains a curses based ap detection application similar to netstumbler (dstumbler) that can be used to detect wireless access points and connected nodes, view signal to noise graphs, and interactively scroll through scanned ap's and view statistics for each. It also includes a couple other tools to provide a complete toolset for making use of all 14 of the prism2 debug modes as well as do basic analysis of the hardware-based link-layer protocols provided by prism2's monitor debug mode.chopchopby KoreKWEP cracker which uses the AP to decipher packets. Easiest one are ARP's. Takes 10-20s. Included within patches for wlan-ng to inject packets in monitor mode (I'll try to do hostap for the next release). That's about it. Bits and pieces are missing here and there (only decodes IP/ARP traffic), but it's pretty complete.ClassicStumblerby alksoftClassicStumbler scans for and displays information about all the wireless access points in range. It will display your signal strength, noise strength, signal to noise ratio, what channel your access point is on, if other access points are interfering with yours, and whether or not those access points are providing encrypted, unencrypted, computer-to-computer, or infrastructure type networks. For an AirPort capable Mac.

It allows you to examine data from a live network or from a capture file on disk. You can interactively browse the capture data, viewing summary and detail information for each packet. Ethereal has several powerful features, including a rich display filter language and the ability to view the reconstructed stream of a TCP session. Live data can be read from Ethernet, FDDI, PPP, Token-Ring, IEEE 802.11, Classical IP over ATM, and loopback interfaces (at least on some platforms; not all of those types are supported on all platforms).

14. EtherPEGby Sam Bushell, Peter Bierman, Stuart CheshireEtherPEG is a free program for the Macintosh that shows you all the JPEGs (and GIFs) going by on your network. EtherPEG works by capturing unencrypted TCP packets off your local network, collecting packets into groups based on TCP connection (determined from source IP address, destination IP address, source TCP port and destination TCP port), reassembling those packets into order based on TCP sequence number, and then scanning the resulting data for byte sequences that suggest the presence of JPEG or GIF data. EtherPEG works with any TCP/IP network, including Ethernet networks and wireless networks like AirPort, as long as the data is not encrypted. If the data is encrypted using IPSEC, or Virtual Private Network (VPN) products like PGPNet, or Web Browser SSL encryption, then third-parties cannot view your data.FakeAPby Black Alchemy EnterprisesIf one access point is good, 53,000 must be better. Black Alchemy's Fake AP generates thousands of counterfeit 802.11b access points. Hide in plain sight amongst Fake AP's cacophony of beacon frames. As part of a honeypot or as an instrument of your site security plan, Fake AP confuses Wardrivers, NetStumblers, Script Kiddies, and other undesirables.gpsdby Remco Treffkorngpsd is a daemon that listens to a GPS or Loran receiver and translates the positional data into a simplified format that can be more easily used by other programs, like chart plotters. The package comes with a sample client that plots the location of the currently visible GPS satellites (if available) and a speedometer. It can also use DGPS/ip.GpsDriveby Fritz GanterGpsdrive is a map-based navigation system. It displays your position on a zoomable map provided from a NMEA-capable GPS receiver. The maps are autoselected for the best resolution, depending of your position, and the displayed image can be zoomed. Maps can be downloaded from the Internet with one mouse click. The program provides information about speed, direction, bearing, arrival time, actual position, and target position. Speech output is also available.

15. Hotspotterby Max Moser, Joshua WrightHotspotter was written to exploit this weakness in the Windows XP operating system. Hotspotter passively monitors the network for probe request frames to identify the preferred networks of Windows XP clients, and will compare it to a supplied list of common hotspot network names. If the probed network name matches a common hotspot name, Hotspotter will act as an access point to allow the client to authenticate and associate. Once associated, Hotspotter can be configured to run a command, possibly a script to kick off a DHCP daemon and other scanning against the new victim.iStumblerby Alf WattiStumbler is a free, open source tool for finding wireless networks and devices with your AirPort equipped Macintosh. iStumbler combines a compact user interface with a real time graph of signal strength and complete debugging information such as network type, name and mac address.

Should be handy for wardriving also.Wavelan Toolsby Cyrus Durgin et al802.11 network tools - allow for detection of networks and services initially using wireless extensions for linux and raw 802.11 frames. Initial support is for the wavelan/orinoco card and plan support for aironet cards.WaveMonby Jan MorgensternWaveMon is a ncurses-based monitor for wireless devices. It allows you to watch the signal and noise levels, packet statistics, device configuration, and network parameters of your wireless network hardware. It has currently only been tested with the Lucent Orinoco series of cards, although it should work (with varying features) with all devices supported by the wireless kernel extensions written by Jean Tourrilhes.

20. WaveStumblerby PatrikWaveStumbler is console based 802.11 network mapper for Linux. It reports the basic AP stuff like channel, WEP, ESSID, MAC etc. It has support for Hermes based cards (Compaq, Lucent/Agere, ... ) It still in development but tends to be stable. It consist of a patch against the kernel driver, orinoco.cs which makes it possible to send the scan command to the driver via the /proc/hermes/ethX/cmds file. The answer is then sent back via a netlink socket. WaveStumbler listens to this socket and displays the output data on the console. The patch should be applied agains linux-2.4.17. It patches the whole linux/drivers/wireless to version 2.4.18-pre7 + the apscan code in orinoco.c. This is a 100% experimental patch, but it seems to work quite good with a Orinoco Silver Card, so feel free to try it out.WebStumblerby Frank EchaniqueWebStumbler is a simple application for turning NetStumbler summary files into HTML files.WellenReiterby Michael Lauer et alWellenreiter is a wireless network discovery and auditing tool. Prism2, Lucent, and Cisco based cards are supported. It is the easiest to use Linux scanning tool. No card configuration has to be done anymore. The whole look and feel is pretty self-explaining. It can discover networks (BSS/IBSS), and detects ESSID broadcasting or non-broadcasting networks and their WEP capabilities and the manufacturer automatically. DHCP and ARP traffic are decoded and displayed to give you further information about the networks. An ethereal/tcpdump-compatible dumpfile and an Application savefile will be automaticly created. Using a supported GPS device and the gpsd you can track the location of the discovered networks.WepAttackby Dominik Blunk, Alain GirardetWepAttack is a WLAN open source Linux tool for breaking 802.11 WEP keys. This tool is based on an active dictionary attack that tests millions of words to find the right key. Only one packet is required to start an attack.WEPCrackby Anton Rager, Paul DanckaertWEPCrack is a tool that cracks 802.11 WEP encryption keys using the latest discovered weakness of RC4 key scheduling.

The toolkit also includes logic for firewall rule mapping, pingscanning, and portscanning via the injection channel and a cellular modem.WEP_Tools (wep_crack/wep_decrypt)by Tim NewshamThis package contains two tools, one for cracking WEP keys and one for decrypting WEP packets. Wep_crack: Given a pcap file containing a packet capture of WEP packets, this program will attempt to find the key used in encryption. This is done by searching the key space using keys generated from dictionary words, or by exhaustively searching through the key generation seeds. Keys are validated by decrypting a number of packets and verifying their CRC. If the CRC validates for all packets, there is a high probability that the proper key was used. Wep_decrypt is a program for decrypting captured 802.11 traffic that is protect with WEP traffic. It reads in a pcap capture file, such as that generated by prismdump, and outputs another pcap capture file with decrypted packets. By default it will read from stdin and ouput to stdout. The key to decrypt with can be specified as a string of hex characters, optionally seperated by spaces or colons, or as a text string. If a text string is specified, the actual keying material will be generated by the string in the (ad hoc) standard fashion used by many drivers.Wi-Findby Eric OlingerWi-find is a wirelesss network detection tool that is written in C and is aiming for flexibility and clean easy to understand code. It currently only suports prism2 based cards using the wlan-ng drive (the hostap might work also) but the support is there to add more cards.WiFiFoFumby Malcolm HallWiFiFoFum is a 802.11 scanner designed for PDAs running PocketPC 2003.
