What do you intend on using it for?

intend on using what for?

[maltloaf]

i only live in a small town and can stand a tonne of different places residential and in the city centre and get free broadband internet on my wifi pda i run a graphing program (WiFiGraph) and another that tests all the connections it finds for net connectivity (PocketWinc)... too easy

[gunner]

Can you only get onto unsecured networks? I got a programme called WiFiFoFum for my Ipaq and it looks the part, but does not get onto secured wireless connections.. Is there any way 'round' this?

Also, can you actually view their network or only use their connection?

[maltloaf]

i have wififofum too but its not a patch on pocketwinc (although wififofum is freeware) I only join unsecured networks, believe me theres plenty !

[marcode]

whats the best app to use on my vaio (centrino m) to try and find hotspots?

id like to have a go at this but not really sure what to try..

Netstumbler

Keep in mind that the connection made through Netstumbler is not a passive connection, this means that it connects and leaves traces of the connection.

Big Computer Misuse Act issues with this software.

Windows

Download Knoppix STD Boot disc distro

It includes Kismet (Passive – no trace) and WEP cracking tools

Other new encryption cracking tools are out there - just do a search in Google.

Linux

I assume that you will be using these tools on your own wireless network

A bit like Knoppix STD

The Auditor security collection is a Live-System based on KNOPPIX. With no installation whatsoever, the analysis platform is started directly from the CD-Rom and is fully accessible within minutes. Independent of the hardware in use, the Auditor security collection offers a standardised working environment, so that the build-up of know-how and remote support is made easier. Even during the planning and development stages, our target was to achieve an excellent user-friendliness combined with an optimal toolset. Professional open- source programs offer you a complete toolset to analyse your safety, byte for byte. In order to become quickly proficient within the Auditor security collection, the menu structure is supported by recognised phases of a security check. (Foot-printing, analysis, scanning, wireless, brute-forcing, cracking). By this means, you instinctively find the right tool for the appropriate task. In addition to the approx. 300 tools, the Auditor security collection contains further background information regarding the standard configuration and passwords, as well as word lists from many different areas and languages with approx. 64 million entries. Current productivity tools such as web browser, editors and graphic tools allow you to create or edit texts and pictures for reports, directly within the Auditor security platform. Many tools were adapted, newly developed or converted from other system platforms, in order to make as many current auditing tools available as possible on one CD-ROM. Tools like Wellenreiter and Kismet were equipped with an automatic hardware identification, thus avoiding irritating and annoying configuration of the wireless cards.
