Hi With regard to a wireless sniffer, I'd have to concur with HC (Keydet), you'd have to go a long way to beat ethereal, not only does it run on *nix and w32 but it has more protocol savvy than many of it's commercial counterparts. By that I mean there are literally thousands of individuals across the Internet submitting decoders for the huge variety of different protocols they encounter. One example of this is a commercial tool spotted 2 RIP packets with the same source and destination. Ethereal identified that the first was RIPv1 and the 2nd was RIPv2. This provided one extra piece of evidence that what I was seeing was in fact a scan. This example wasn't wireless. take care -andy Taliskers Network Security Tools http://www.networkintrusion.co.uk ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gene" <gyoo () attbi com> To: "James McGee" <james__mcgee () hotmail com> Cc: <security-basics () securityfocus com> Sent: Tuesday, December 10, 2002 10:47 PM Subject: Re: WLAN Sniffer
