WiCrawl , Simple Access Point Auditor
By lain on Oct 28, 2007 in Sectools, Security
WiCrawl is a tool to sniff out the available Access Points and Automatically probes for their weakness. The plugins allow us to find out useful information about an AP so we don’t have to manually check each access point. The program combines several existing wireless hacking tools and an easy-to-use “front end”. Once activated, WiCrawl will search for wireless local area networks within range and can automatically probe for specific vulnerabilities. It then calls up the tools needed to exploit these vulnerabilities and gain access to the protected network. The program is designed to work with multiple wireless cards, so that one card can scan for available networks while one or more other cards probe nearby networks for weaknesses.
Major features:
- o Passive detection of Access Points (This means that if there are clients, we can find out the SSIDs from APs that have broadcast turned off).
- o Support for multiple cards. Discovery can be run from one card, while the plugins can be run from the rest.
- o Simple plugin interface with multiple Plugins (Basic association, DHCP, internet check, network mapping, WEP/WPA-PSK cracking, etc)
- o Profiles to manage card scheduling and wicrawl usage (for example a profile for mobile users, and one for penetration testing).
- o Support for multiple interfaces (GTK and status bar (with themes) now, text UI to come)
- o Reporting and summary output in HTML, XML or Text
- o Traffic packet logging in pcap format
