Nzyme v1.0.0: Free and Open WiFi Defense System

chrisweekly 6y ago
> "The goal of the free and open nzyme project is to provide a complete platform that helps you to defend your wireless networks. Existing WiFi IDS systems fall short and can be easily spoofed, even by not very sophisticated attackers with commoditized attack platforms. Wireless networks open a huge attack vector and exploiting it is easy compared to alternative vectors. In addition, nzyme ships with out-of-the-box bandit definitions that will detect many attack platforms the moment they are powered on and in range. For exampke, a WiFi Pineapple or Pwnagotchi will be detected immediately. A nzyme tracker device can be used to physically locate the source of specific WiFi frames and play a big role in actively defending your perimeter." Cool.

Very interesting. I will take a deeper look at this this afternoon. In the meantime, you have on small spelling error that you might want to fix. >For exampke, a... Looks like your finger grabbed the wrong key.

    I have an embarrassing confession to make. When at first I read "Lennart", my immediate knee-jerk reaction was "If it's by Lennart Poettering, I already know I don't want it". Then I clicked on the link and found out that wasn't the case. It looks very thorough for a one-man hobby project. What motivated you to build this?

In the screenshots, you’ve removed the URL from the search bar but it seems to be the title of the tab.

I'm impressed! I've been working in this space but it's the first time I hear about nzyme. Our project is a security centric router/firewall/wifi AP with cloud management. We do have a rogue wifi monitoring feature, but your approach and execution seems so miles ahead from what we're doing that I'm highly tempted to scrap it and integrate nzyme instead. I am thinking that we could remotely configure/dedicate some radios to an nzyme process embedded in our firmware. We just had the go ahead from our main sponsor to fully open-source our project so I'll be in touch!

I'm really glad this project exists. Thanks, dev!
