Application: Kismet
What it is:
Kismet is an 802.11 layer2 wireless network detector, sniffer, and
intrusion detection system. Kismet will work with any wireless card
which supports raw monitoring (rfmon) mode, and (with appropriate
hardware) can sniff 802.11b, 802.11a, 802.11g, and 802.11n traffic.
Kismet also supports plugins which allow sniffing other media such as
DECT.
Kismet identifies networks by passively collecting packets and
detecting standard named networks, detecting (and given time,
decloaking) hidden networks, and infering the presence of nonbeaconing
networks via data traffic.
Features:
802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11a, 802.11n sniffing
Standard PCAP file logging (Wireshark, Tcpdump, etc)
Client/Server modular architecture
Multi-card and channel hopping support
Runtime WEP decoding
Tun/Tap virtual network interface drivers for realtime export of packets
Hidden SSID decloaking
Distributed remote sniffing with Kismet drones
XML logging for integration with other tools
