Alternatives (by score)
trackerjacker
Introduction
Trackerjacker is a security tool to map WiFi networks that you are not connected to. It allows mapping and tracking of devices using the 802.11 protocol. It may be useful for intelligence gathering or performing specific WiFi attacks, such as a deauthentication attack. The tool comes with plugin support so that it can interact with other tools. For example, when a particular event occurs it can be picked up by another tool.
Project details
trackerjacker is written in Python.

WarBerryPi
Introduction
WarBerryPi is a toolkit to provide a hardware implant during Physical penetration testing or red teaming. The primary goal of the tool is to obtain as much information as possible, in a short period of time. The secondary goal is to be stealthy to avoid detection. As the name implies, the tool can be used on a small device like a RaspberryPi.
Another use-case of WarBerryPi is to be an entry point to the network. In that case, a 3G connection is suggested, to avoid the outgoing network filtering (egress rules).
Project details
WarBerryPi is written in Python.
Strengths and weaknesses
- + More than 2000 GitHub stars
- + The source code of this software is available
- - Minimal or no documentation available
- - No releases on GitHub available
Typical usage
- Information gathering
- Information snooping
- Penetration testing
- Red teaming
