iWIDS – Rogue Wireless Access Point Scanner

iWIDS scans for wireless devices and then outputs a list of MAC addresses that belong to the wireless device that is plugged into the network. The current version uses MAC address adjacency checking to detect rogue wireless access points and rogue router access points (AP) (AP). Future version of the application will be improved to use additional methods to determine if rogue wireless devices are connected to the wired network.

• Windows Vista or Windows 7 PC with wireless network card enabled (not fully compatible with Windows XP at this time). Ethernet card can be plugged in to wired network and/or wireless connected wirelessly to wired network to be scanned :-)
• Wired Ethernet interface or wireless interface should have an IP address (DHCP or static) that is valid for network being scanned
• Wireless interface can be disconnected from wireless network
• After loading, software will automatically search for all IP addresses on wired network and compare to discovered wireless devices
• Detection results will be displayed in “Wireless Devices On Subnet” window.
• Results can be emailed by configuring applet with SMTP information. Enter text that should be included in email before and after results in pretext and posttext areas.
