H.D. Moore’s wonderful exploit testing tool, Metasploit Project, is going to incorporate wi-fi exploits into its framework.
Moore said security researchers looking for an easy way to investigate wireless device and driver vulnerabilities can also find value in the code, which can also be used to develop “fuzzers” for discovering new vulnerabilities.Fuzzers, or fuzz testers, are used to pinpoint security vulnerabilities by sending random input to an application. If the program contains a vulnerability that leads to an exception, crash or server error, researchers can parse the results of the test to pinpoint the cause of the crash.
This is an invaluable tool for any security researcher.
