  Description     : lightweight wireless lan scanner and analyzer

"horst" is a small, lightweight IEEE802.11 wireless LAN analyzer with a
text interface. Its basic function is similar to tcpdump, Wireshark or
Kismet, but it’s much smaller and shows different, aggregated
information which is not easily available from other tools. It is mainly
targeted at debugging wireless LANs with a focus on ad-hoc (IBSS) mode
in larger mesh networks. It can be useful to get a quick overview of
what’s going on on all wireless LAN channels and to identify problems.
