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]

It supports all relevant modes of operation (client, Access Point, 802.11 IBSS aka ad-hoc, ahdemo, WDS, monitor), state-of-the-art encryption ... [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 ... [More] PCMCIA/PCCards cards with Orinoco and PrismII chipsets, as well as Cisco Aironet cards. AirPort and AirPort Extreme cards are supported in full passive mode, as well as Prism2 and Ralink USB devices. [Less]

Wifidog is designed to have optional ... [More] centralized access control, full bandwidth accounting, node heart-beating and local content specific to each hotspot. [Less]

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.

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.

iStumbler is the leading wireless discovery tool for Mac OS X, providing plugins for finding AirPort networks, Bluetooth devices and Bonjour services with your Mac.

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]

wshare is a simple program to share an existing network connection. There are two modes, master and client. The master shares an existing network connection (probably to the internet) via an unused wireless device. The client can connect either via the operating system provided facilities or this script in client mode.

WiND is a Web application for managing a database of wireless nodes. It is targeted at wireless community networks. The project was originally created for the Athens Wireless Metropolitan Network located in Athens, Greece. It supports multiple users ... [More] and multiple nodes per user, with different access right for each job. It stores node information such as location, height, area, region, backbone and AP interfaces, roof view photos, subnets and hosts in a node, etc., and provides a powerful way to search this information. Using NASA's SRTM data, it graphs the line of sight and Fresnel zone between nodes and calculates free space loss for the distance between them. It uses Google Maps or Google Earth and can manage IP ranges and DNS. [Less]

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. [Less]

The open Wireless Network Simulator (openWNS) is an open source simulation platform for wireless and multi-cellular mobile communication systems (e.g. UMTS, WiMAX, WLAN). Our goal is to develop an open source system level simulation platform ... [More] (openWNS) for performance evaluation and comparison of wireless and professional multi-cellular mobile communication systems. The simulation platform will offer close-to-emulation implementation of the respective protocol stack, including implementations of detailed interference modeling in reference scenarios, mobility models, traffic load generators, statistical evaluation methods and detailed channel models. [Less]

The Prosciutto Project is a data-driven mobile application engine implemented in J2ME. You could think of it as a rapid application development framework, or a distributable mobile application engine that aims to address the problem of device ... [More] fragmentation. Anything you would do on a mobile application that has to do with browsing data is doable in The Prosciutto Project environment by using the mobile application engine (ZAMAE) and a set of well-defined, serializable UI objects. This way, an entire application definition can be hosted on a web server, ZAMAE would fetch it from the server, and yet be completely business logic agnostic. If your application changes, there's no need for the engine to be updated and redistributed. [Less]

This is PEWIT, Polling Enlightens WIreless neTworks. It serves a so-called "Polling Method" to solve the hidden station problem in wireless networks. Thanks to this scheduling algorithm, no packet collision will occur in theory. So, PEWIT makes outdoor wireless networks more efficient.

OpenBox4 is a project that aims at creating an alternative firmware for the Neuf Box 4 (the DSL gateway/router from Neuf Cegetel, the second largest ISP in France).

A simple parser of Kismet logs. This program plots the access points recorded by Kismet, with their signal strength and meta data. Output is a google earth kml file.

PPTP Client allows you to connect to a PPTP server from a Linux box. It sets up a PPTP call, after which the PPP daemon establishes a PPP link over that PPTP call. The client can access PPTP-based VPNs. Besides remote access to internal corporate networks, some CATV and ADSL ISPs are using PPTP to provide Internet access to their customers.
