AP Radar

AP Radar (Access Point Radar) is a Linux/GTK+ based graphical netstumbler and wireless profile manager. This project makes use of the version 14 wireless extensions in linux 2.4.20 and 2.6 to provide access point scanning capabilities for most models of wireless cards. It is meant to replace the manual process of running iwconfig and dhclient. It makes reconfiguring for different wireless access points quick and easy. (FOR LINUX)

Mognet

Prismstumbler is a wireless LAN (WLAN) discovery tool which scans for beaconframes from accesspoints. Prismstumbler operates by constantly switching channels and monitors any frames recived on the currently selected channel.

Prismstumbler is designed to be a flexible tool to find as much information about wireless LAN installations as possible. It comes with an easy to use GTK2 frontend and is small enough to fit on a small portable system. Because of its client-sever architecture the scanner engine may be used for different frontends. An example for this is gpe-aerial, a wireless LAN access tool for GPE.

The current GTK user interface is designed to work on large PC screens as well as on PDA displays. Prismstumbler uses an embedded SQL database to store network information. It is also able to create networks lists in GPSdrive format and store captured packages to pcap dump files. (FOR LINUX)

THC WarDrive

THC-WarDrive is a tool for mapping your city for wavelan networks with a GPS device while you are driving a car or walking through the streets. It is effective and flexible, a "must-download" for all wavelan nerds. (FOR LINUX)

asleap

asleap exploits weaknesses in Cisco's LEAP protocol. Specifically, asleap:

- Recovers 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.
- Will actively deauthenticate users on LEAP networks, forcing them to reauthenticate. This makes the capture of LEAP passwords very fast.
- Will only deauth users who have not already been seen, doesn't waste time on users who are not running LEAP.
- Can read from stored libpcap files, or AiroPeek NX files (1.X or 2.X files).
- Uses a dynamic database table and index to make lookups on large files very fast. Reduces the worst-case search time to .0015% as opposed to lookups in a flat file.
- Can write *just* the LEAP exchange information to a libpcap file. This could be used to capture LEAP credentials with a device short on disk space (like an iPaq), and then process the LEAP credentials stored in the libpcap file on a system with more storage resources. (FOR LINUX)

anwrap

anwrap.pl is a wrapper for ancontrol that serves as a Dictionary attack tool against LEAP enabled Cisco Wireless Networks. anwrap traverses a user list and password list attempting authentication and logging the results to a file. anrwap really wrecks havoc on RADIUS calls to NT networks that have lockout policies in place, you have been warned. Tweak the Timeouts, a lengthy LEAP timeout on the Cisco side could make for a very boring afternoon. anwrap was designed to audit authentication strengths before deploying LEAP in a production environment. (FOR LINUX)

WeP Attack

AirJack

AirJack is a device driver (or suite of device drivers) for 802.11(a/b/g) raw frame injection and reception. It is meant as a development tool for all manor of 802.11 applications that need to access the raw protocol. (FOR LINUX)

Fake AP

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. (FOR LINUX)

macfld

macfld tool utilizes the Linux wireless extensions to generate and set random MAC addresses on a Cisco or patched Lucent (drivers) NIC, eventually filling up the association ID table on a wireless bridge. The IEEE 802.11 specification identifies a max value of 2007 concurrent associations to an IBSS access point, but does not discuss what to do when the AID table is full. I have found that ~250 concurrent associations will cause an access point to restart. (FOR LINUX)

void11

void11 is a free implementation of basic 802.11 attacks:

- deauth (Network DOS) (flood wireless networks with deauthentication packets and spoofed BSSID; authenticated stations will drop their network connections)
- auth (Accesspoint DOS) (flood accesspoints with authentication packets and random stations addresses; some accesspoints will deny any service after some flooding)
- Apple Airport aka "UFO" died after ~60sec flooding for about 15 minutes
- Lucent OR1000 survived with minor problems
- OpenBSD 3.1/3.2 HostAP freezed after some flooding
- Linux HostAP driver survived ;-) (max. 1023 authenticated stations)

All Garmin GPS reveiver with a serial output should be usable, also other GPS receiver which supports NMEA protocol. (FOR LINUX)

airpwn

Airpwn is a tool for generic packet injection on an 802.11 network.

airpwn requires two 802.11b interfaces, one for listening, and another for injecting. It uses a config file with multiple config sections to respond to specific data packets with arbitrary content. (FOR LINUX)

Wifitap

WifiTap allows users to connect to wifi networks using traffic injection. The concept is the same as most "man-in-the-middle" or "monkey-in-the-middle" attacks. For WifiTap to work, another system must have an association with an access point that the WifiTap system wants to pass traffic through.

Benefits of using WifiTap over normal Wifi clients:
- The system running wifitap is not associated with any wireless access point;
- The system is not handled by any access point.
