Wifi Explorer
Designed to input captured header data from wireless access points.
Can be used to secure networks and look at coverage issues.
Features:
- Load different data sets for a particular map area(or with minimal extension, any map)
- Look for unsecured or rogue access points in your organization or ones with low (WEP) encryption levels
- Sortable view parameters by Signal Quality, Encryption level, ESSID (String identifier), Protocol (802.11B/G) , and Beacon
Requirements:
Data Collection
- Requires using a Laptop with WIFI access
- GPS receiver
- Kismet on Linux needed to record the data
- Kernel 2.6.18 or newer for GPS NMEA serial driver
Visualization
- Windows (XP/2000/Vista)
- VTK 5.0
- VTK .Net Wrapper
- .Net 2.0
- Visual Studio .Net 2005
Sources:
- Classmates (code and in person)
- NMEA FAQ (Common serial protocol for GPS devices)
Project Files:
- Microsoft Visual C# Project Files (UPDATED for new dataset)
- Data Files (UPDATED) GPS coordinates aren't real, generated purely for visualization. Wifi Data IS real.
- Linux Shell scripts (UPDATED one and two) to collect the data.
- Kismet config file (coming...)
- Original data files (due to GPS not getting a fix, no points will load! Use new dataset files instead.
- Alternate dataset (need map_test1.png, and updated center coordinates), needs tweaking before useable.
