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 ... [More] frees you from the application selection and 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) ... [More] 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. [Less]

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 ... [More] established connection and filtering on the fly is also 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]

Aircrack-ng is an 802.11 WEP and WPA-PSK keys cracking program that can recover keys once enough data packets have been captured. It implements the standard FMS attack along with some optimizations ... [More] like KoreK attacks, thus making the attack much faster compared to other WEP cracking tools. In fact aircrack is a set of tools for auditing wireless networks. [Less]

eBox Platform is a unified network server that offers easy and efficient network administration for SMBs, being the open source alternative to Windows Server. eBox Platform can be set up as a ... [More] Gateway, an Infrastructure Manager, a Unified Threat Manager, an Office Server, a Unified Communication Server or a combination of them. These functionalities are tightly integrated, automating most tasks and saving time for system administrators. The company behind eBox Platform, eBox Technologies (www.ebox-technologies.com), offers commercial services such as deployment, support, managed services and training based on eBox Platform. [Less]

This is a piece of software that lets you tunnel IPv4 data through a DNS server. This can be usable in different situations where internet access is firewalled, but DNS queries are allowed. It ... [More] runs on Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD and needs a TUN/TAP device. The bandwidth is assymetrical with limited upstream and up to 1 Mbit/s downstream. [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 ... [More] requests. KisMAC supports several third party 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]

MadWifi is a Linux driver for IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN devices that are based on chipsets from Atheros. It supports all relevant modes of operation (client, Access Point, 802.11 IBSS aka ad-hoc ... [More] , ahdemo, WDS, monitor), state-of-the-art encryption (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]

The Wifidog project is a complete and embeddable captive portal solution for wireless community groups or individuals who wish to open a free Hotspot while still preventing abuse of their Internet ... [More] connection. Wifidog is designed to have optional centralized access control, full bandwidth accounting, node heart-beating and local content specific to each hotspot. [Less]
