Transpwnds

TranspWNDs are non‑intrusive, transparent sensors that capture and analyze wireless frames without sending any probe requests or acknowledgments. Unlike active scanners (e.g., Kismet or Wireshark in monitor mode) that occasionally inject packets, TranspWNDs are purely passive. They operate below the noise floor, making them undetectable to any network device—even rogue access points designed to evade sweeps.

Key technologies inside:


If you are looking at a specific (perhaps typo-titled) report, it likely discusses: transpwnds

  • The "Island Hopping" Technique: Attackers often use one compromised network as a launchpad to attack connected networks. Reports on this topic often call this "lateral movement" or "island hopping."

  • In aviation, transponders are mandatory for most controlled airspace. They allow Air Traffic Control (ATC) to see the aircraft on a radar screen with a specific identifier and altitude. If you are looking at a specific (perhaps

    Modern "Mode S" transponders allow for selective interrogation, meaning the radar can talk to one specific plane at a time without cluttering the airwaves.

    With a directional 14dBi antenna, I captured packets from 400m away (line of sight across a park). The "Island Hopping" Technique: Attackers often use one

    Web UI (version 2.4.2):
    Clean, dark‑theme dashboard with 5 main tabs:

    API & Integrations:
    REST API with webhooks. I integrated with Splunk and TheHive (SIEM) – worked flawlessly. Also supports MQTT for IoT automation.

    AI features (standout):
    The “behavioral fingerprinting” engine learned typical device patterns. When a printer started beaconing a new SSID at 3 AM, TranspWNDs correctly flagged it as “suspicious – possible compromised device.” Turned out to be a firmware update gone wrong, but the alert was valid.
