AiroPeek (by WildPackets, later Savvius) is a commercial wireless LAN analyzer and packet sniffer designed specifically for the Windows operating system. Kismet is a powerful wireless network detector, sniffer, and intrusion detection system, but it is primarily Linux-based. AirSnort is a Linux-based tool used for recovering WEP encryption keys. Void11 is also a Linux-based tool used to perform wireless deauthentication (DoS) attacks. AiroPeek is the only Windows-native wireless sniffer among the options listed.
