802.11 frame pcapng analyzer

• ruby -- requires faraday
• tshark
• gnuplot (for charter)

contains 2 programs

• pcap80211analyzer
  • analyze pcapng with specified viewpoint
• charter
  • draw chart from given CSV input
• summarize
  • runs pcap80211analyzer

Analyzes pcapng which contains 802.11 radiotap frame. Enter command below to see what can be done.

% ./pcap80211analyzer -r <pcappath> (list|help)

For example, if typed like this...

% ./pcap80211analyzer -r $PCAPPATH/test.pcapng uniq_ap_per_band_num

it analyzes given pcapng and print out its result. In this case, the number of APs seen is shown.

TotalAP, 3142.0, 100
2.4GHz, 2393, 75.46148949713557
5GHz, 771, 23.83831954169319
both, 22, 0.7001909611712286

Draws some types of bar chart png image from given csv file or csv stdin.

normal usage is like this

% ./charter -t bar -o output.png data.csv

or

% cat data.csv | ./charter -t bar -o output.png

In combination with pcap80211analyzer

% ./pcap80211analyzer -r $PCAPPATH/test.pcapng uniq_ap_oui_histogram | ./charter -t bar -o output.png

"summarize" runs pcap80211analyze with charter for all interested viewpoints.
