Network security sniffer for finding vulnerabilities in the network
This package contains a network security sniffer for finding vulnerabilities in the network, designed for pentesters and security professionals.

It is based entirely on network traffic analysis, so it does not make any noise on the air. Above allows pentesters to automate the process of finding vulnerabilities in network hardware. Discovery protocols, dynamic routing, FHRP, STP, LLMNR/NBT-NS, etc.

The tool can also both listen to traffic on the interface and analyze already existing pcap files.
