pop aircrack"aircrack is an 802.11 WEP cracking program that can recover a 40-bit or 104-bit WEP key once enough encrypted packets have been gathered. It implements the standard FMS attack along with some optimizations, thus making the attack much faster compared to other WEP cracking tools." |

A Practical Approach to Identifying and Tracking Unauthorized 802.11 Cards and Access Points
"With proper care, it is possible to build a wireless network that is at least as secure as an equivalent wired network. However, it is still desirable to track attempts at unauthorized access and, perhaps more importantly, track potential breaches by internal, trusted users. The purpose of this paper is to propose techniques for detection and location of unauthorized wireless clients and rogue access points, and then to discuss the details of a practical approach using off-the-shelf components and free software."

AirIDS
"AirIDS is a package containing a number of tools, most notably is the wireless network IDS. This is similar to many other network IDS's but is geared towards 802.11(b). As of AirIDS release 0.3.1 we support multiple front ends, and a large number of actions (see rules.txt in the docs section). The filtering is controled by a robust and powerful rules file, so everything is user definable. This expands the capabilities of the AirIDS system a great deal. |

Airsnarf
"Airsnarf is a simple rogue wireless access point setup utility designed to demonstrate how a rogue AP can steal usernames and passwords from public wireless hotspots. Airsnarf was developed and released to demonstrate an inherent vulnerability of public 802.11b hotspots--snarfing usernames and passwords by confusing users with DNS and HTTP redirects from a competing AP." |

Debunking the Myth of SSID Hiding
"In IEEE 802.11 networks, the SSID (Service Set Identifier) is viewed by some security professionals as an unneeded advertisement of the wireless network to attackers and these professionals assert that all measures should be taken to 'hide' the SSID. But this advertisement is the essential role that SSIDs are designed to play. The broadcast of the SSID improves the performance of a wireless network and the SSID cannot be hidden without degrading proper WLAN operations. Efforts to hide the SSID are at best half-measures which lead to a false sense of security and to a degradation of wireless network performance, particularly in a roaming situation." |
