Wireless security
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) is a class of systems to secure wireless (Wi-Fi) computer networks. It was created in response to several serious weaknesses researchers had found in the previous system, Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). WPA implements the majority of the IEEE 802.11i standard, and was intended as an intermediate measure to take the place of WEP while 802.11i was prepared. WPA is specifically designed to also work with pre-WPA wireless network interface cards (through firmware upgrades), but not necessarily with first generation wireless access points.

RogueScanner
RogueScanner is an open source tool focused on device classification and detection of rogue devices. Like the Paglo Crawler, RogueScanner also relies on a unique Collaborative Device Classification system to automatically look up and identify the device type and device's identity in real time. RogueScanner collects information from devices on your network and sends this information securely to the server that uses this evidence to make classification decisions. The central server benefits from being able to look up the evidence that is gathered from devices against all of devices that have ever been identified.
Ultimately, RogueScanner is an open source vulnerability management tool that is used to identify technical assets in your environment. Download and use it if you simply want to quickly identify and remove the devices that shouldn't be there. If you are interested in being able to search on the data that is collected, generate rich data charts and reports, and take advantage of a dashboard and third party applications, Paglo is probably better for you. RogueScanner is free and open source, and is licensed under the GPL.
Features:
- Security tool — Automatically detects rogue devices in real time
- Powerful — Supports various fingerprinting and scanning techniques for discovering devices and
identifying their unique characteristics
- Patent-pending Collaborative Device Classification system — Accurate and up-to-date device classification
- Easy — GUI version available as well as binaries for those who wish to compile from source uses the system
