Wellenreiter

The User guide was included in the docs diretory. The packet
capture length was raised from 400 to 65535 to avoid
truncating packets. A patch was applied for better detection
of Prism 2-based PCI and USB cards. The Choose Card
window was fixed, and the text in the IBSS/ESS window is now
correct.

A completely new Interface and look and feel were added. All the statistic windows are removed. The scannerwindow is now the mainwindow and controlpoint. Autodetection of the cardtype and other configuration setting eliminates the need for user configuration. The usability of the interface has been raised with the new tree and clist split layout. save- and dumpfile generation was automated. Scanning is faster, and a lot of bugs and leaks were fixed.

Wellenreiter II is based on Qt and this first public alpha is only available in binary for Linux-based PDAs like the Sharp Zaurus and the Compaq iPaq. Current features include detecting and visualizing infrastructure and ad-hoc networks, displaying SSIDs, MAC addresses of stations, APs and cells, beacon counters, first/last seen, loading and saving of sessions.

This version adds a complete new packet decoding engine. DHCP and ARP data frame decoding functions were added. The nightcolors are now fixed. XmitPower : 1 was added to the startsniff command. The noise packets were removed by adding a double check function into the beacon detection. A cleanup routine was added to the close function of the statistic window.

This version has a lot of code cleaning, and adds update instructions. It should now be able to run on newer Lucent firmware levels. There was some speedup the load process, a quick hack of a network and accesspoint counter in the statusbar, constant logging functionality, the logwindow button was removed, and you can now open the log from the menu "View" inside of the scanner window. A night color feature, a map point export routine, bugfixes for the GPS lockup, and bugfixes for a slow machine lockup problem were implemented.
