Description: Highly Optimized Radio Scanning Tool
horst is a small, lightweight IEEE802.11 WLAN analyzer with a text
interface. Its basic function is similar to tcpdump, Wireshark or
Kismet, but it's much smaller and shows different, aggregated
information which is not easily available from other tools. It is
made for debugging wireless LANs with a focus on getting a quick
overview instead of deep packet inspection and has special features
for Ad-hoc (IBSS) mode and mesh networks. It can be useful to get a
quick overview of what's going on all wireless LAN channels and to
identify problems.
.
* Shows signal (RSSI) values per station, something hard to get,
especially in IBSS mode
* Calculates channel utilization ("usage") by adding up the amount of
time the packets actually occupy the medium
* "Spectrum Analyzer" shows signal levels and usage per channel
* Graphical packet history, with signal, packet type and physical rate
* Shows all stations per ESSID and the live TSF per node as it is
counting
* Detects IBSS "splits" (same ESSID but different BSSID – this is/was
a common driver problem on IBSS mode)
* Statistics of packets/bytes per physical rate and per packet type
* Has some support for mesh protocols (OLSR and batman)
* Can filter specific packet types, operating modes, source addresses
or BSSIDs
* Client/server support for monitoring on remote nodes
* Automatically adds and removes monitor interface
.
horst is a Linux program and can be used on any wireless LAN interface
which supports monitor mode.
