Wireless Security Products

This page contains a multitude of differing wireless security products, as we find time we will try and categorise them further and also provide a product listing at the top of this page.  This has been accomplished in part by breaking out the Wireless Intrusion Detection Systems.
If you are fairly new to using wireless you are probably aware of how important it is to secure, otherwise you wouldn't be here, therefore  you may be interested in the Wireless Security Training Courses on offer



BSD - Airtools

NetBSD, OpenBSD, and FreeBSD

dachb0den labs

 http://www.dachb0den.com/projects/bsd-airtools.html

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). It also contains a curses based ap detection application similar to netstumbler (dstumbler) that can be used to detect wireless access points and connected nodes, view signal to noise graphs, and interactively scroll through scanned ap's and view statistics for each. It also includes a couple other tools to provide a complete toolset for making use of all 14 of the prism2 debug modes as well as do basic analysis of the hardware-based link-layer protocols provided by prism2's monitor debug mode.

WEPcrack

OS -- Linux
802.11
Cards -- Suspect Prism

http://wepcrack.sourceforge.net/

WEPCrack is an open source tool for breaking 802.11 WEP secret keys
The current tools are Perl based, and are composed of the following scripts:
1 - WeakIVGen.pl - This script allows a simple emulation of IV/encrypted output that one might observe with a WEP enable 802.11 Access Point. The script generates IV combinations that can weaken the secret key used to encrypt the WEP traffic
2 - prism-getIV.pl - This script relies on output from Prismdump [or from Ethereal captures if libpcap has been patched for 802.11 monitor mode], and looks for IVs that match the pattern known to weakned secret keys. This script also captures the 1st byte of the encrypted output and places it and the weak IVs in a logfile.
3 - WEPCrack.pl - This script uses data collected or generated by WeakIVGen to attempt to determine the secret key. It will work with either 40bit or 128bit WEP.

Additionaly, there is a script prism-decode.pl that will decode most 802.11 frame types. This tool is intended to be used with prismdump, but could also be used against Ethereal 802.11 saved captures. It might be useful for capturing SSIDs, AP MAC addresses, or authentication data.
