Joshua Wright has announced plans to release KillerBee, an open source suite of Linux tools designed to test the security of ZigBee wireless networks.

"KillerBee includes a number of tools which, taken together, look at lot like the sort of attack programs familiar from Wi-Fi environments," according to The H Security.

"According to Wright, the security problems and the errors that underlie them are reminiscent of the design problems which dogged Wi-Fi," the article states. "ZigBee offers no protection against replay attacks, in which an attacker simply resends recorded packets to the network."
