Dumpper is a free, portable software utility originally developed in Spain. Its primary function was to scan and display detailed information about wireless networks in the vicinity. It provided a user-friendly graphical interface (GUI) for tasks that typically required complex command-line inputs. Dumpper displayed SSIDs, signal strength, MAC addresses, and encryption types. Crucially, it included automated routines to check for specific vulnerabilities in the router's configuration, specifically focusing on the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) protocol.
