This package contains a graphical Wi-Fi analyzer for Linux. It provides a more comprehensive GUI-based replacement for tools like inSSIDer and linssid that runs specifically on Linux. In its most comprehensive use cases, sparrow-wifi integrates Wi-Fi, software-defined radio (hackrf), advanced bluetooth tools (traditional and Ubertooth), traditional GPS (via gpsd), and drone/rover GPS via mavlink in one solution.

Only use this tool against systems you own or are explicitly authorized to test — see the disclaimer.

Getting started

Install on Kali Linux with `sudo apt install sparrow-wifi`. See the official Kali tool page and upstream homepage linked above for full usage and configuration details.
