Professional Wi-Fi Analysis Software
Every Wi-Fi professional has been there: you know an AP is somewhere in the ceiling, behind a cabinet, or buried in a comms cupboard, but the floor plan is wrong, the label's missing, or nobody on site remembers where it went in. Tracking it down by guesswork, by lifting every ceiling tile in the [...] The post Finding Hidden Access Points with AP Finder in WiFi Explorer Pi appeared first on…
Most professional Wi-Fi deployments are built against some kind of standard, whether that's a formal company policy, a client's security requirements, or simply the set of best practices you've learned to insist on over years of deployments. WPA3 everywhere. Non-DFS channels on 5 GHz. A specific country code. Consistent channel widths across every AP [...] The post Validating Wi-Fi Deployments…
Choosing a Mac for Wi-Fi analysis isn’t as simple as comparing processors or memory configurations. When running WiFi Explorer and other professional Wi-Fi tools, the Mac’s wireless hardware and macOS version have a much greater impact on your experience than CPU performance or RAM. This guide explains what to look for when buying a [...] The post Choosing the Best Mac for Wi-Fi Analysis appeared…
As WPA3 adoption continues, one challenge keeps emerging in real deployments: not all clients behave the same way. Some fully support WPA3, some partially support it, and others don’t support it at all. Bridging that gap without breaking connectivity has proven challenging in actual environments.WPA3 transition mode was originally designed to address this by allowing [...] The post WiFi Explorer…
While implementing support for RSN Override in WiFi Explorer, we took a closer look at how this mechanism works and why it was introduced. If you're dealing with interoperability issues in networks that support WPA3 or newer RSN features, RSN Override is something worth understanding. The Wi-Fi Alliance introduced this mechanism in version 3.4 [...] The post Balancing Security and Compatibility…
I’m excited to reintroduce Ping Analyzer, a completely rewritten version of the app I first released nearly 15 years ago. The original version gained a small but loyal following before I eventually pulled it from the App Store to focus on other projects. But over time, I kept noticing it still being used, and [...] The post The Return of Ping Analyzer appeared first on Intuitibits .
The Oscium Nomad is now fully supported in Airtool Pi, enabling powerful, multi-channel Wi-Fi packet captures directly from your iPhone or iPad. This integration is possible through a collaboration between Hamina Wireless and Intuitibits, combining high-performance hardware and streamlined software to deliver a practical, mobile-first solution for wireless professionals. The Oscium Nomad is a…
Airtool Pi allows you to effortlessly capture Wi-Fi frames from your iPhone or iPad using Linux-based remote sensors such as the WLAN Pi. It seamlessly connects to the sensor over SSH, running a custom script that stages the WLAN interface, sets the channel and channel width, and launches tcpdump to start the capture. The captured [...] The post Multi-Channel Captures Using Airtool Pi appeared…
The remote sensor feature in WiFi Explorer Pro 3 and WiFi Explorer Pro for Windows allows you to scan for wireless networks using a Linux- or Android-based device while retaining full access to WiFi Explorer's visualization, filtering, and advanced capabilities. This means you can validate and troubleshoot wireless networks remotely and from the perspective [...] The post Using Your Android Device…
It finally happened. Apple has officially retired the airport command-line utility on macOS Sonoma 14.4. Although it was considered deprecated, the airport command was still very helpful for quickly getting the status of the Wi-Fi interface and showing basic information about nearby Wi-Fi networks. The tool accumulated a lot of legacy information but received [...] The post Goodbye, airport!…
