Wellenreiter - Wireless discovery / auditing
Project page: wellenreiter.sf.netAuthors: Max Moser, Steffen Kewitz, Martin J. Muench
About:
Wellenreiter is a wireless network discovery and auditing tool.
Prism2, Lucent, and Cisco based cards are supported. It is one of
the easiest to use linux wireless scanning tools available.
No card configuration has to be done anymore. The whole look and
feel is pretty self-explainatory.
It can discover networks (BSS/IBSS), and detect ESSID broadcasting
or non-broadcasting networks as well as their WEP capabilities and
the manufacturer information automatically.
DHCP and ARP traffic are decoded and displayed to give you further
information about the networks.
A wireshark (formerly known as ethereal)/tcpdump-compatible dumpfile and an
Application savefile will be automatically created. Using a supported
GPS device and the gpsd you can track the location of the discovered
networks.
The project has started to move from perl to C++. Currently
there are two "flavours" of Wellenreiter available. One is the
perl/gtk based Version, with all the described functionality.
The second one is the Wellenreiter II C++ based flavour.
Wellenreiter II will run on Hanheld mobile devices (Zaurus/Ipaq/etc)
within the Opie or X11 graphical environment.
