Horst is a small, lightweight IEEE802.11 wireless LAN analyzer with a text interface. See README and Homepage of Horst.
Installation
With opkg
:
opkg update
opkg install horst
Usage
- As a newcomer, please consult wireless.overview. It is written for you!
- If your wireless drivers support it, use either
/etc/config/wireless
or wireless.utilities to put your WNIC into monitor mode then start horst on the default interface (wlan0):iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor channel X horst
- Or with newer mac80211 drivers you can use the “modern” way, using ‘iw’ to add a monitor interface while you can continue to use the existing interface:
iw dev wlan0 interface add mon0 type monitor horst -i mon0
- To use the client/server mode you can start a server (-q without a user interface) with
horst -i wlan0 -C -q
- and connect a client with
horst -c IP
Only one client is allowed at a time!
