AirSnort

Most of Software Hacking Wireless work when there is no security setting encrypted. NetStumbler and KISMET failed when there are wireless security encryption used, but AirSnort can work Pretty well and smooth with its capability to pass through Wi-Fi access.

All the function and feature available on this tool is almost same with other hacking tools. But with the newest version of AirSnort now also can be used to do package injection.

AirSnort runs under Windows or Linux, Download AirSnort : www.airsnort.shmoo.com

CoWPAtty

CoWPAtty is a Wi-Fi hacking tool which able to do cracking on security feature WPA-PSK and used by Hacker to be able to get in secured on Wi-Fi area. CoWPAtty have lot of different options from dictionary files and determine is it matches with the defined key.
