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)

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]

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]

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.

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).
