C++/Opie flavour

Version:

Changes:
II
05.05.2003 - Release candidate for 1.0 uploaded.
Fixes : Rare segfaults while sniffing and operating the GUI simultaenously.
Features : Additional parsing of data packets leads to displaying more participating stations. New live graph window showing signal strength on all channels. Additional parsing of ARP packets leads to identifying IP addresses.
12.04.2003 - Beta-Version uploaded.
Fixes : GUI enhancements in the Menubar and the Toolbar. Improved keyboard handling. Added sanity checks for running Wellenreiter II as non-root or with dhcp clients in the background. Features : Writing and replaying tcpdump compatible capture files! This is a great thing - not only for debugging, but also for in-detail packet dissection with tools like ethereal and the like.
08.04.2003 - Alpha-2 Version uploaded.
Fixes : Close memory leak in packet capturer. Fix client stations appearing under essid as access points. Fix false WEP reporting for some cases.
07.04.2003 - Pre-Alpha-2 Version uploaded.
Features : Detecting associated client stations in infrastructural networks.
06.04.2003 - Post-Alpha Version uploaded.
Fixes : Workaround buggy hostap drivers writing past fixed-length-structures on arm. Be more flexible due to dynamic checking of private ioctls. Features : Saveable hex window for packet dissection.
30.03.2003 - Public Alpha Version available.

 

Perl/Gtk flavour:

Version:

Changes:
1.8
 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.
1.6
 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.
1.5
 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.
1.4
 An essid bruteforcer has been added, which tests all the default essids against the wireless network. This is meant for use on low traffic networks or nightly tests. The src directory was removed from the package, but the source is still available from CVS. The sniffing childprocess now terminates correctly. The code was cleaned up and speeded up. Minor bugfixes were made. Accoustic events are now non-blocking. The channel counting was fixed. A menu-entry was added to toggle the GPS feature on or off.

1.3

 This reIease fixes a bug which was introduced during BSD code integration that prevented the discovery of ad-hoc networks. The new Cisco drivers that use the WiFi device now work, and the BSD scanner now works very well with Cisco cards.
1.2
 SD now has a scanner window, and it can export in Netstumbler, CSV, and gpsdrive waypoint formats. The acoustic beacon indicator can now be toggled, it is possible to decide which channel to scan, and the upper end of channels can be limited to prevent problems with Lucent cards. Fixed the collapsed state of the tree after a reset/load, and an error with assertion. Simplified the create dumpfile process. Auto-save and recover was added, along with a new config directory and updated documentation.
1.1
 GPS support has been added. It is possible to enable/disable the accoustic beacon indicator. This release uncovers non-broadcasting networks by just waiting until a probe response passes the network (someone joins the network). A new accoustic event has been added for uncovering an essid. There is massive code cleanup and speed improvements.
1.0
 Cisco/Aironet , Lucent/Hermes, and Prism2 cards are now supported. Cisco cards automatically generate a random MAC for joining a network, so this release will not join networks with your real MAC anymore. A large amount of documentation (READMEs and FAQs) has been added. Automatically associating a discovered network from within the scanner window is possible now. This release has dynamic windowsizing, screen dimension autodetection, and a simplified installation process. iPAQ-specific code for screen detection has been removed, and there are cleanups in the iPAQ code.
0.9
 The ability to add, edit and delete custom comments for each accesspoint, a popup menu with the detailview of an accesspoint, an accoustic_events subroutine, dumpfile support allowing you to dump your whole scan to a pcap dumpfile, support for disabling automatic channelswitching, modifications to the default startsniff command, and a new log window that makes it more easier to track the timeline were added. The "detected by Frametype" accesspoints detail view was removed. All capture 802.11b frames are now dumped. The the manufacturer detection was corrected.
0.8
 This release adds WEP enabled / disabled detection. WEP encrypted enabled accesspoints now have different icon colors. A battery monitor window was added, the scanner window performance was enhanced, sound configuration is now in the Makefile, some problems with the adding of access points were fixed, and the wireless junk handling was partially fixed by tweaking the regexps. New individual sound possibilities were added to the scanner window.
