wifi-radar

[txm0523]

This is a request to have wifi-radar package in the repositories. I have used this application in the past to check how many people are on each wifi channel and to be able to select a channel without many people on it. Is there any possibility of having that package in the repositories ? I don't know if it is still being maintained, but it was an awesome application.

Thanks

It doesn't look like it exists anywhere except in Debian Buster, now 2 versions ago--no development since 2015.

It used the GNOME 2 python bindings, which was removed from Debian after Buster.

Maybe the closest application to it is linssid, which is in the Debian repositories.

+1 for linssid I have had and used that on my laptops for a long time and it is great. ( Only surpassed by Ubiquiti's WiFiMan on android. )

WiFi Radar is an old python2/gtk2 app and Linux distributions have moved on to python3 and gtk3 and/or gtk4.
Unfortunately I don't anybody out there trying to convert it to current tools/libraries.
I do see an Android app with the same name. Having never used WiFi Radar I can't tell you if it's similar in functionality.

Thanks for the information. I will check out linssid.

Linssid is nice. I still have a version of wifiradar that works in winblows somewhere. It's interesting to see all the networks using spectrum and even a couple mesh types. I'm on Hunter Fiber now and it's way better than spectrum from my perspective.

I've ported over sparrow-wifi https://github.com/ghostop14/sparrow-wifi from Kali Linux, but without the feature to warfly your neighborhood with a drone, since that needed a lot more python3 package ports. It'll be in the MX 21 and 23 test repos, but you can get it and its two new dependencies here early: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Hf6zd7 ... sp=sharing
