It has an embedded statistics engine for common parameters provided by wireless drivers which enables you to gather details about the consistency, signal strength, etc. of the network. For discovery of accesspoints / networks / ad-hoc cards, Wellenreiter has an amazingly easy scanner window, which searches for any accesspoint within range of the scanning device. It detects and differentiates essid broadcasting and non-broadcasting wireless networks in every channel, doing frequency switching automatically. The manufacturer is detected by the device's MAC address. WEP detection is also implemented, and Wellenreiter detects and handles whenever the beacon broadcasting machine is a true accesspoint or an AD-Hoc mode station. Detecting essid's of non-broadcasting networks is possible and gps support is also built in. Also a uniq essid bruteforcer is included now. The Networks with a red symbol are "non-essid-broadcasting" ones. This means the accesspoint does not send out the essid network name for security reasons. Non-broadcasting networks can be only detected by using the raw-sniffing mode. Green symbols are shown for a broadcasting network. You can join these nets automatically without specifying the essid. These nets are also available in the statistics engine. The distinction between WEP/cleartext sending accesspoints is indicated by coloring the accesspoints red for WEP enabled and green for cleartext. AD-Hoc stations have different icons than real accesspoints. And in the information screen at the right side you see all the info as text. Since version 1.6 it also discovers information about dhcp and arp communication on the detected networks automaticly Where to get: Get the official version and status at: http://www.remote-exploit.org Get the actual cvs version from sourceforge.org Authors: Max Moser : mmo@remote-exploit.org Steffen Kewitz : steffen@remote-exploit.org Dario Luethi : dlu@remote-exploit.org Martin J.
