wimbleloo Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Hi there, I'm looking for a way to simulate Wifi APs with time-varying RSSI (Received signal strength indication), MAC addresses, channel. I'm wondering if anyone have any idea how I can accomplish this. Any tips, links and help is appreciated... David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I don't know about the RSSI stuff, but the Hak5 Pineapple or even Karma would simulate access points and respond to any probes looked for. There are also tools in backtrack to setup fake access points as well. What exactly are you trying to accomplish though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no42 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Depends if your emulating / spoofing RSSI is a hard thing to fake, but the reset is achievable through Lorcon I believe Lorcon2 is now part of Metasploit (its how metasploits fake AP modules work etc) http://blog.opensecurityresearch.com/2012/05/installing-lorcon2-on-backtrack-5-r2.html https://code.google.com/p/lorcon/ http://forums.hak5.org/index.php?/topic/26092-lorcon-error-metasploit-backtrack-5-r2/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telot Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 More info on what you're after here is needed for us to give a good solution. Have you looked into mdk3? That simulates SSID's quite well... telot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimbleloo Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 Thanks guys for your replies! To provide more info, I'm planning to test my indoor wifi positioning algorithm on mobile devices (tablets and phones). The algorithm is dependent on the change of the RSSI (Received signal strength indication) over time. The algorithm also uses SSID, MAC address, channel information as well. When you say, "reset is achievable through Lorcon", do you mind elaborating? Sorry, I'm new to all this... David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airman_dopey Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Sounds interesting. Where as I am not familiar with how to accomplish what you're asking, I am curious to know if you'll be releasing these tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
