Description

A wireless network monitoring tool for detecting Wi-Fi devices, capturing radio-layer information, and supporting intrusion-detection workflows.

Use it only on networks and radio environments where you have permission to monitor. Wireless captures can expose device identifiers and traffic metadata, so this is an advanced security and diagnostics tool rather than a general Wi-Fi manager.
