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.

The ability to add, edit and delete custom comments for each accesspoint, a popup menu with the detailview of an accesspoint, an accoustic_events subroutine, dumpfile support allowing you to dump your whole scan to a pcap dumpfile, support for disabling automatic channelswitching, modifications to the default startsniff command, and a new log window that makes it more easier to track the timeline were added. The "detected by Frametype" accesspoints detail view was removed. All capture 802.11b frames are now dumped. The the manufacturer detection was corrected.

This release adds WEP enabled / disabled detection. WEP encrypted enabled accesspoints now have different icon colors. A battery monitor window was added, the scanner window performance was enhanced, sound configuration is now in the Makefile, some problems with the adding of access points were fixed, and the wireless junk handling was partially fixed by tweaking the regexps. New individual sound possibilities were added to the scanner window.
