iXsecurity.tool.wavestumbler.1.0.2

When performing Wireless pentests it's usually helpful to be able to perform a
scan for Access Points in the area. For windows the tool that comes to mind for
most people might be NetStumbler (http://www.netstumbler.com). Netstumbler
supports Hermes based cards such as Lucent/Agere, Compaq, ....

Me I prefer the OpenSource Linux way, thats why I tried to implement a
netstumbler
like tool in Linux. It consist of a kernel-patch and an application that does
the actual
scanning. It is still in development, and kind of stable (at least sometimes :).

It can be found at:

For an other excellent tool, for Cisco cards, have a look at Kismet at
