CoovaChilli is an open-source software access controller, based on the popular ChilliSpot project. CoovaChilli is the continuation of the great work of the ChilliSpot project. It is a feature rich software access controller that provides a captive portal / walled-garden environment and uses RADIUS for access provisioning.
CoovaChilli is an integral part of the CoovaAP OpenWRT-based firmware which is specialized for hotspots.

CoovaAP is an OpenWRT-based firmware designed especially for HotSpots. It comes with the CoovaChilli access controller built-in and makes it easily configurable. CoovaAP is perfect for just about any HotSpot application – from WPA Enterprise (with RADIUS accounting) to Free WiFi with Terms of Service acknowledgment to commercial HotSpot captive portal applications. Use the embedded captive portal for a simple self contained HotSpot or use your own captive portal and RADIUS back-end.
PacketProtector is a Linux distribution for wireless routers, built on top of OpenWrt. The goal of this project is to transform the router into a unified threat management (UTM) device.
All you need is a Linksys WRTSL54GS or ASUS WL-500g (Deluxe or Premium) router, and a USB 2.0 drive with atleast 100MB free space.
Quagga is a routing software suite, providing implementations of OSPFv2, OSPFv3, RIP v1 and v2, RIPng and BGP-4 and supports IPv4 and IPv6 on Unix platforms, particularly FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris and NetBSD. Quagga also supports special BGP Route Reflector and Route Server behavior.
NDCC is a system of monitoring and recording changes to configurations of network equipment. It can store configuration snapshots for any text-based configs. It has been used to store configurations from Unix and Linux systems; Cisco routers, switches, load balancers, and firewalls; Foundry; NetScreen, Juniper, NetScaler, and others.
Fping is a free console program, much like the ping program that comes with windows.
Why use fping instead of the standard windows ping?
fping is a ping like program which uses the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request to determine if a host is up. fping is different from ping in that you can specify any number of hosts on the command line, or specify a file containing the lists of hosts to ping.
