Wireshark is the world's foremost network protocol analyzer, and is the de facto (and often de jure) standard across many industries and educational institutions. (Wireshark was known as Ethereal until June 09, 2006)

OpenWrt is described as a Linux distribution for embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and ... [More] configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. [Less]

Some vendors refuses to release specs or even a binary Linux driver for their WLAN cards. ndiswrapper tries to solve this by making a kernel module that can load Ndis (Windows network driver API) drivers. The goal is not to implement all of the Ndis API, but to implement the functions needed to get cards without Linux drivers to work.

Ettercap is a network sniffer/interceptor/logger for ethernet LANs. It supports active and passive dissection of many protocols (even ciphered ones, like SSH and HTTPS). Data injection in an established connection and filtering on the fly is also ... [More] possible, keeping the connection synchronized. Many sniffing modes were implemented to give you a powerful and complete sniffing suite. Plugins are supported. It has the ability to check whether you are in a switched LAN or not, and to use OS fingerprints (active or passive) to let you know the geometry of the LAN. [Less]

MadWifi is a Linux driver for IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN devices that are based on chipsets from Atheros.

[More] (WPA, WPA2, 802.1x), Multi-SSID operation, and more. The driver itself is open source, but requires the use of a Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) that is available in precompiled binary-only form for many different architectures. [Less]

KisMAC is a free stumbler application for MacOS X that puts your card into monitor mode. Unlike most other applications for OS X it has the ability to run completely invisibly and send no probe requests. KisMAC supports several third party ...

Wellenreiter is a GTK/Perl 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 ... [More] 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. gpsd can be used to track the location of the discovered networks. [Less]

rt2x00 is a development effort to create a stable and feature rich Linux driver for wireless 802.11b and 802.11g cards that are based on the Ralink rt2400 and rt2500 chipsets.

MarcoPolo brings context-aware computing to your portable Mac computer. It allows your computer to determine its context through gathering evidence from your environment (evidence sources), using flexible rule-based fuzzy matching to make an educated guess (rules), and then performing arbitrary actions upon changing context (actions).

From Wikipedia: The Better Approach To Mobile Adhoc Networking, or B.A.T.M.A.N., is a routing protocol which is currently under development by the “Freifunk”-Community. B.A.T.M.A.N.'s crucial point is the decentralization of the knowledge ... [More] about the best route through the network - no single node has all the data. Using this technique, the need for spreading information concerning network changes to every node in the network becomes superfluous. The individual node only saves information about the “direction” it received data from and sends its data accordingly. Hereby the data gets passed on from node to node and packets get individual, dynamically created routes. A network of collective intelligence is created. [Less]

The iwlwifi project provides a driver which utilizes the new mac80211 subsystem for the Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN and Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection adapters.

A firmware for large ad-hoc mesh networks. It is based on the Freifunk Firmware from Berlin but largely extended for a good day to day experience.

The Firmware-Generator project aims to ease deployement of OpenWRT/Freifunk firmware and mesh networking by providing an simple and clear web interface for firmware customization. The web interface contains many hints to help users for choosing the rightoptions and is self-documented.

ROBIN (ROuting Batman Inside) is an Open Source mesh network project, deployed on top of OpenWRT kamikaze, running on any Atheros AP51 routers (such as Meraki Mini, La Fonera and others) and using OLSR or BATMAN as routing algorithm. ROBIN spreads ... [More] a wired internet connection such as a DSL throughout an apartment complex, neighborhood, village or school, and work on a variety of commonly available, low-cost hardware.

We deal with anything wireless on the iPhone: 802.11, GSM, and Bluetooth. StumblerStumbler lets you view the wireless networks in your area. While right now Stumbler only handles 802.11 networks, soon you should see Bluetooth and GSM capabilities ... [More] as well. Stumbler is still in a early Alpha stage, but it is fully functional, and pretty stable. Planned Features Auto Scanning Manufacturer detection Logging A-GPS Raw 802.11 packet capture (monitor mode) MobileApple80211MobileApple80211 is a framework roughly analogous to the Apple80211.framework (private) on "big" Mac OS X. Most of the effort is currently going into working out how the various functions available work, but eventually we plan on pulling the statically linked code out of the existing apps that use it, and making it into a more direct library, without using the dynamic linker. At first glance, the library appears to be a highly object-oriented version of the mainstream Apple80211 framework. It uses CoreFoundation objects wherever one might expect them, instead of structs and so on. Given that the Apple80211 framework is a private framework, it might possibly be an indication of Apple intending to revise the mainstream framework in Leopard. For a list of the currently known functions, please see Apple80211Functions. And yes, we're open to suggestions of better names. Submit an issue or contact us in #iphone-80211 on irc.osx86.hu. [Less]
