Hotspotter - a Wireless Honeypot
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
DETAILS
Hotspotter passively monitors the network for probe request frames to
identify the preferred networks of Windows XP clients, and will compare it
to a supplied list of common hotspot network names. If the probed network
name matches a common hotspot name, Hotspotter will act as an access point
to allow the client to authenticate and associate. Once associated,
Hotspotter can be configured to run a command, possibly a script to kick
off a DHCP daemon and other scanning against the new victim.
