Welcome to NSL Free Software Tools Website

In conjunction with our research in the NSL, we are interested in providing tools for implementation and design of some of the systems we are studying and protocols we are developing. The following are tools that we have created based around our research projects.


Network Vulnerability Assessment Software Tool

Because of the unattended operation of sensors and other ad-hoc network devices, an adversary may be able to physically capture and compromise network nodes, known as a node capture attack. In this project, we are interested in modeling and evaluating the impact of such attacks on the security provided by particular classes of cryptographic key assignment.

Imote2 Sensor Network Localization Software Tool

Due to resource constraints of wireless sensors, nodes must rely on collaborative algorithms to estimate their geographic location in order to provide location-specific information for sensing applications. In this project, we are interested in comparing various localization algorithms from the literature in a network platform using Crossbow Imote2 sensor boards. Project Details and Downloads
