Wi-Fi Advanced Stealth Patches
==============================

Author: Laurent Butti

These patches are released under the GPL v2 licence, and thus are Open Source software.

Abstract
========

This set of patches are an enhancement for the madwifi-ng driver in order to acheive good stealth at low cost!
It can be useful in protecting your own network from wardrivers and attacks (denial-of-service, wep cracking...) as your modified access point and client are the only ones that understand themselves! :-) Some embedded access point like the Netgear WG634U have an Atheros chipset (OpenWRT + madwifi) and thus may be modified to support stealth at low cost.

These patches are only a proof-of-concept and may be improved in many ways as possibilities are quite infinite...

Check the web homepage for further information.

Requirements
============

* Atheros wireless chipset
* madwifi-ng driver (patches are against r1527-20060425)

Installation
============

* Patch your driver

This package is composed of two patches, one tweaking the 802.11 protocol number (proto-tweak) and another one tweaking the 802.11 types (type tweak).

* Unload madwifi modules
* Install modified drivers
* Reload madwifi modules

Testing
=======

Put one interface in "master" mode and another one in "managed" mode thanks to the wlanconfig tool. Then initiate a scan thanks to "iwlist interface scanning" from your interface in "managed" mode. You should then only see your modified access point...

You may also try to scan for your modified access point thanks to active scanners (like NetStumbler) or passive scanners (like Kismet).

You are stealthy now...
