  Wellenreiter Introduces ESSID bruteforcing
------------------------------------------------------------------------

DETAILS

Wellenreiter is a wireless network sniffer. However, unlike other similar
products it also includes a new and unique ESSID-bruteforcing feature. The
bruteforce functionality needs at least 2 Cisco cards. One card will
constantly sniff and the other will try to bruteforce the ESSID. Further,
the bruteforcing card changes its MAC Address every single request it
does, therefore no flood-protection will work against it.
