GNS3 is a graphical network simulator that allows simulation of complex networks. To allow complete simulations, GNS3 is strongly linked with : Dynamips, the core program that allows Cisco IOS emulation. Dynagen, a text-based front-end for Dynamips. Qemu, a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer. GNS3 is an excellent complementary tool to real […]

Kismet is an 802.11 layer2 wireless network detector, sniffer, and intrusion detection system. Kismet will work with any wireless card which supports raw monitoring (rfmon) mode, and can sniff 802.11b, 802.11a, and 802.11g traffic. Kismet identifies networks by passively collecting packets and detecting standard named networks, detecting (and given time, decloaking) hidden networks, and infering […]
