Well, i just like to inform you that the new version of wellenreiter is
available.

Visit http://www.remote-exploit.org

Description:
Wellenreiter is a gtkperl program that makes the discovery and the audit
of 802.11b wireless-networks much easier.
It has an embedded statistic engine for the common parameters provided
by the wireless drivers which enables
you to fetch the detail about the consistency and signal strength etc of
the network.
For discover accesspoints / networks / ad-hoc cards, Wellenreiter got an
amazing easy scanner window.
It searches for any accesspoint in the range of the scanning device. It
detects and differs essid boradcasting
or non-broadcasting wireless networks in every channel,doing frequency
switching automaticly. The manufactor
is detected by the devices MAC-Address. WEP detection is also
implemented and Wellenreiter detects and differs
wherever the beacon broadcasting machine is an true accesspoint or an
AD-Hoc mode station. An ethereal / tcpdump
conform logfile could be done from the whole scanning sessions. Even
custom comments are now possible.
