RE: Commercial Wireless access points

Some Tools that may be of some use:

AP Hopper
"AP Hopper is a program that automatically hops between access points of
different wireless networks. It checks for DHCP and Internet Access on all
the networks found. It logs successful and unsuccessful attempts."
http://aphopper.sourceforge.net/

bsd-airtools is a package that provides a complete toolset for wireless
802.11b auditing. Namely, it currently contains a bsd-based wep cracking
application, called dweputils (as well as kernel patches for NetBSD,
OpenBSD, and FreeBSD)."
  http://www.dachb0den.com/projects/bsd-airtools.html

"WEPCrack is a tool that cracks 802.11 WEP encryption keys using the latest
discovered weakness of RC4 key scheduling."
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wepcrack/

AirSnort is a wireless LAN (WLAN) tool which cracks encryption keys on
802.11b WEP networks. AirSnort operates by passively monitoring
transmissions, computing the encryption key when enough packets have been
gathered."

Netstumbler
Scan and detect vulnerable wireless networks. Allows users to upload
findings to a searchable database

Subject: Commercial Wireless access points


A few local cities in our town use commercial wireless access points. They
have towers setup. They use I think wep encryption if that. Has anybody been
able to sniff out these commercial access points? Or do you know of any
tools?
http://www.alvarion.com is one of the product being used.

They use 802.11 not a or b just 802.11.
We are a security consulting company. A local city is running a beta program
using this wireless technology. That have asked us to do security analysis
on their wireless network.
