Project Description

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 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.

1.4

An essid bruteforcer has been added, which tests
all the default essids against the wireless
network. This is meant for use on low traffic
networks or nightly tests. The src directory was
removed from the package, but the source is still
available from CVS. The sniffing childprocess now
terminates correctly. The code was cleaned up and
speeded up. Minor bugfixes were made. Accoustic
events are now non-blocking. The channel counting
was fixed. A menu-entry was added to toggle the
GPS feature on or off.

1.3

This reIease fixes a bug which was introduced during BSD code integration that prevented the discovery of ad-hoc networks. The new Cisco drivers that use the WiFi device now work, and the BSD scanner now works very well with Cisco cards.

1.2

BSD now has a scanner window, and it can export in Netstumbler, CSV, and gpsdrive waypoint formats. The acoustic beacon indicator can now be toggled, it is possible to decide which channel to scan, and the upper end of channels can be limited to prevent problems with Lucent cards. Fixed the collapsed state of the tree after a reset/load, and an error with assertion. Simplified the create dumpfile process. Auto-save and recover was added, along with a new config directory and updated documentation.

1.1

GPS support has been added. It is possible to enable/disable the accoustic beacon indicator. This release uncovers non-broadcasting networks by just waiting until a probe response passes the network (someone joins the network). A new accoustic event has been added for uncovering an essid. There is massive code cleanup and speed improvements.

1.0

Cisco/Aironet , Lucent/Hermes, and Prism2 cards are now supported. Cisco cards automatically generate a random MAC for joining a network, so this release will not join networks with your real MAC anymore. A large amount of documentation (READMEs and FAQs) has been added. Automatically associating a discovered network from within the scanner window is possible now. This release has dynamic windowsizing, screen dimension autodetection, and a simplified installation process. iPAQ-specific code for screen detection has been removed, and there are cleanups in the iPAQ code.
