Linux Tools
Kismet - Kismet is an 802.11 layer2 wireless network detector,
sniffer, and intrusion detection system. Kismet will work with any wireless card which supports raw monitoring (rfmon) mode, and can sniff 802.11b, 802.11a, and 802.11g traffic.
Kismet Log Viewer - The Kismet Log Viewer takes Kismet .xml log files and produces a nicely formatted html interface to browse the logs with.
Wellenreiter - Wellenreiter is a wireless network discovery and auditing tool. Prism2, Lucent, and Cisco based cards are supported. The authors claim it is the
easiest to use Linux scanning tool. No card configuration has to be done anymore.
WepAttack - WepAttack 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.
coWPAtty - coWPAtty is designed to audit the pre-shared key (PSK) selection for WPA networks based on the TKIP protocol.
Supply a libpcap file that includes the TKIP four-way handshake to mount an offline dictionary attack with a supplied wordlist. See the README for more details.
Aircrack - Aircrack is an 802.11 WEP and WPA-PSK keys cracking program that can recover keys once enough data packets have been captured.

Mac Tools
Kismac - Kismac is the grandaddy of wireless penetration testing tools. It is a Mac OS X implentation of the Kismet tool, but with some improvements. The ability to be able
to reinject packets and crack WEP keys from a single application is very cool. Although I have found Kismac to be a little unstable at time, it is my preferred Wireless Network testing tool.
MacStumbler - MacStumbler is a utility to display information about nearby 802.11b and 802.11g wireless access points. It is mainly designed to be a tool to help
find access points while traveling, or to diagnose wireless network problems.
iStumbler - iStumbler is a wireless discovery tool for Mac OS X, providing plugins for finding AirPort networks, Bluetooth devices and Bonjour services with your Mac. |
