Wireless Hacking with Kismet - Kismet is a network detector, packet sniffer and intrusion detection system for 802.11 Wireless LANs.   Kismet will work with any wireless card which supports raw monitoring mode and can sniff 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n traffic. The program runs under Linux and OSX.

Ubertooth - The Ubertooth One is an opensource Bluetooth test tool from Michael Ossmann. It is the world's first affordable Bluetooth monitoring and development platform and is a fully open source product (both hardware and software).


Bluetooth Low Energy Hacking - Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), sometimes referred to as "Bluetooth Smart", is a light-weight subset of classic Bluetooth and was introduced as part of the Bluetooth 4.0 core specification. While there is some overlap with classic Bluetooth, BLE actually has a completely different lineage and was started by Nokia as an in-house project called 'Wibree' before being adopted by the Bluetooth SIG.


Hacking Wireless with Metasploit - The Metasploit Project is a computer security project that provides information about security vulnerabilities and aids in penetration testing and IDS Signature development.
Its best-known sub-project is the open source Metasploit Framework, a tool for developing and executing exploit code against a remote target machine. Other important sub-projects include the Opcode Database, shell code archive and related research. The Metasploit Project is well known for its anti-forensic and evasion tools, some of which are built into the Metasploit Framework.
Aircrack - Aircrack-ng is a complete suite of tools to assess WiFi network security.
It focuses on different areas of WiFi security:
Monitoring: Packet capture and export of data to text files for further processing by third party tools.
Attacking: Replay attacks, deauthentication, fake access points and others via packet injection.
Testing: Checking WiFi cards and driver capabilities (capture and injection).
Cracking: WEP and WPA PSK (WPA 1 and 2).
Reaver - Reaver has been designed to be a robust and practical attack against WPS, and has been tested against a wide variety of access points and WPS implementations.
On average Reaver will recover the target AP’s plain text WPA/WPA2 passphrase in 4-10 hours, depending on the AP. In practice, it will generally take half this time to guess the correct WPS pin and recover the passphrase
