RF monitor software

RF monitor software

RF monitor software is software which (with special hardware as a WiFi-card) is able to detect signal strength and bit error rate of wireless networks. RF monitor software includes network discovery software programs as KIsmet and Network stumbler, yet these latter provide much more information about the network itself, and are not as precise as true RF monitor software. [Hacking Wireless Networks for dummies] The extra precision is especially useful in cooperation with a directional antenna (eg cantenna's, ...)

Notable software

Some notable programs are:
KWaveControl, KWifiManager, Linux Wireless Extensions, Mobydik.tk, NetworkControl, NetworkManager, Qwireless, Gnome Wireless Applet, Gtk-Womitor, Gwireless, Kifi, KOrinoco, Wavemon, WaveSelect, Wimon, Wmap, Wmifinfo, WMWave, WmWiFi, Wscan, Wvlanmon, XNetworkStrength, xosview, aphunter, E-wireless, Gkrellm wireless plug-in, ...
