SmartSniff

Nir Sofer

5 (860)

SmartSniff is a tool capable of displaying the content of the packets that circulate a WiFi network. Any communication that takes place via TCP/IP can be read in Ascii or hexadecimal code. It has two different capture methods: Raw Sockets and WinPcap Capture Drive. The first one doesn’t require the installation of additional software, although its functionality is limited. For this reason, it is recommended to use the second. The exploration result can be stored in three different formats: TXT, HTML, and XML. The program allows you to create filters for packets coming from any certain port, IP address, etc.

Total Network Inventory

Softinventive Lab Inc.

4 (654)

Administering local networks is never easy, since you have to figure out what's going on with different computers, check their security, and make an inventory of the components of each one. Installing remote agents on each machine in the network can be a burden, so Total Network Inventory was created to make your task both faster and easier. The program runs an in-depth scan of all of your local networks and IP addresses, showing you data regarding installed hardware, processes running, and patches. You just need to know the administrator password to run the scan on unique nodes, ranges of network addresses, or Active Directory structures. Since each computer occupies a space in Total Network Inventory's centralized storage, you can group computers, add comments, and attach additional information so you can see all of your network at once. Once you've finished this process, the tool will create reports about different categories of data that you can then copy, export, and print. Total Network Inventory also allows you to create a database with the users on your network, store various passwords for different machines and protocols, and follow the online status of those machines in realtime. Without a doubt, this is a solid program that will save you from a LAN-related headache.

PaperCut NG

PaperCut Software

4 (514)

This application is fundamental for organizations and entities who have a computer network with a high level of users and wish to control how much the Internet and printing services are used. PaperCut NG allows us set limits to the time spent browsing the net and printing documents. The program admin sets a given number of credits to each user which will be used according to their actions. Credit loss will be greater depending on the number of pages that are printed, the paper size and the format of the page (black and white or color). Variables like connection time and the amount of downloaded megabytes will be used to determine credit loss. When a user spends all their credit, they are not allowed to access the Internet or the printing service. The program can be used to monitor both activities or only one of them, without affecting the other. It requires that a system works as a proxy server and another server for printing in your local network.

Ekahau HeatMapper is an application that allows you to view the accessible wireless hotspots placed on a map. The theory tells us that if the wireless access point is nearer, the connection will be better. If we follow those instructions, we'll be able to access the nearest hotspot and the connection will be better. You'll only have to run it and it will automatically detect surrounding wireless networks and it will indicate the signal strength, so you'll be able to choose the best one depending on your position. If you have a map of the area in which you are placed, the program will be able to allocate all those wireless access points according to the map. It can be pretty useful if you are in a public area and you wish to have better signal. Finally, you can save maps to use them later.

Snort

Cisco

3 (762)

Snort is an open code tool for network administrators, that allows the real time analysis of traffic over an IP network to detect intruders and log any incoming packets. The way in which Snort achieves this is by analysing protocols and seeking out any unusual behaviour linked to probes and attacks such as buffer overflows, port scanning, CGI attacks, SMB or OS fingerprinting tests. Snort is a flexible rule based language that can be set to know what data it should capture and what it should let through. Its scanning engine is modular, which means that its functionality can be extended with plugins. Various real-time alerts will be sent to the system administrator to indicate the presence of suspicious network behaviour. But be aware! Snort is a command line tool. Snort supports IPv6 and can be used with MySQL, ODBC, Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle. You will need to manually edit the snort.conf file to set the correct file and classification rules.

DAR-WIFI

David Pacheco Jiménez

4 (952)

DAR-WIFI is a tool to create an access point for your WiFi network so other devices can connect to the Internet even if they're far away from the main router. This way you can have all your devices connected even if they're in a far corner of your home. To start using this tool you have to set up a username and password. By default you can use Youruser, and Yourpassword, but the important thing is that nobody can get access without both of them. You can use any combination without having to register them, and you can modify them whenever you want. This application doesn't have a limit of devices you can add, so you can connect as many computers and mobile devices as you want and use them as fixed connection points to spread the WiFi connection through your home. In short, it's a good way to have Internet anywhere in your house, even where the connection is weak or simply where it doesn't reach. DAR-WIFI requires no installation, and works as long as the computer is on, so if you turn your computer off or reset it, all the connected devices will stop having Internet and you have to create another connection point and link it to the rest of the devices one by one.

Bandwidth Controller Standard is a very useful tool for efficiently distributing network resources. It is mainly used to assign a specific volume of data for each program, service or connection. Bandwidth Controller Standard uses a rule-based system that lets it filter traffic using several different parameters. It enables an effective independent control of every device on the network. In this way, it lets you limit internet traffic without affecting the local network’s traffic. On the other hand, it offers the possibility of supervising download and upload speeds, as well as establishing 'end points' to which the connection will not have access to. Other interesting parameters are: protocol, user, IP and MAC address filtering, etc.

WIFI Auditor

N/A

2 (603)

WiFi Auditor is a tool for testing the security of the nearby WiFi networks, which will basically show the passwords of some of the networks and give you the possibility to connect to them. Using the program is as simple as clicking on the button 'auditor redes' and waiting until the program automatically shows which of the nearby networks have a weak level of security. In less than five seconds you're able to obtain the password of those networks. The app deciphers the WPA from the name and MAC address of the close-by networks in case they maintain the original password included with the router by default. Once you have the password you can, as long as you have permission (otherwise, you could get in a lot of trouble), connect to the network to test the speed or do any other task. WiFi Auditor is an easy to use app, but not to be used carelessly. It's effective, but as mentioned in the previous paragraph, this program should be used with care because of the consequences it could incur.
