FakeAP

[litefire]

So i found this via Stumble Upon..

http://www.blackalchemy.to/project/fakeap/

Quoted from the site..

"Black Alchemy's Fake AP generates thousands of counterfeit 802.11b access points. Hide in plain sight amongst Fake AP's cacophony of beacon frames. As part of a honeypot or as an instrument of your site security plan, Fake AP confuses Wardrivers, NetStumblers, Script Kiddies, and other undesirables."

I found this interesting because i thought of using it for the opposite of what its meant for, setting up a sniffer and doing stuff like that..

Would this be possible? or am I on the wrong track?

Thanks.

I'm not getting the "set up a sniffer" part. It does what it says it does though. Kismet will show hundreds of access points. They will even have "correct" mac addresses. It has an OUI list and it just randomizes the last six characters of the macs. It's kinda neat, but pretty easy to see which is the real access point. It will be the one that's actually transmitting data.
