MTscan – MikroTik RouterOS wireless scanner

MTscan is a wireless network scanning software dedicated for Mikrotik RouterOS devices, originally developed for Wi-Fi DXing and wardriving.

Latest version: v0.6 (2021-12-18)

Two scanning modes are available via SSH connection:

  • Scanner mode (legacy) – based on scanner tool (active scanning).
  • Sniffer mode (recommended) – based on sniffer tool (passive scanning). It supports additional network protocols (like Ubiquiti AirMAX AC and Cambium ePMP), but also requires additional configuration and RouterOS 6.41+.
