Fake AP

Imagine a ship alone at sea, hunted by pirates that would be happy to board the ship and purloin the bounty of cargo. Our product is Times Square on New Year's eve. Fake AP provides the cast of extras where hiding is possible: in plain sight, making it unlikely for an organization to be discovered.

If one access point is good, 53,000 must be better.

Black Alchemy's Fake AP generates thousands of counterfeit 802.11b access points. Hide in plain sight amongst Fake AP's cacophony of beacon frames. As part of a honeypot or as an instrument of your site security plan, Fake AP confuses Wardrivers, NetStumblers, Script Kiddies, and other undesirables.

Fake AP is a proof of concept released under the GPL.

Fake AP runs on Linux (tested on RedHat 7.3). For *BSD versions, see the links below.
