A new app has been released to make it easier to find a working WiFi connection. WiFinder works on the Palm Tungsten C to scan the airwaves for working 802.11 access points., now in public beta testing, is designed to facilitate the discovery of 802.11b (WiFi) access points using a Palm Tungsten C handheld. Users can use WiFinder at airports, hotels, restaurants, or shopping malls to verify the presence of WiFi Internet access. WiFinder provides users with a quick visual indication of which access points are open and which are private.
System administrators can instantly determine the status of their wireless network. WiFinder displays detailed information about each access point found including:.
AP Name (SSID). Signal Strength. Hardware Address. WEP status. Channel. Access Point Location (with GPS) WiFinder also contains logging facilities that allow you to export scan data to a standard CSV file on the expansion card so that you can post-analyze it using common spreadsheet and database applications.
GPS location information can also be recorded when connected to a GPS unit supplying NEMA data. Mike, I hope something does break - I'd.LOVE.
to have this on my Clie NZ90 and my WL100. One of the deciding factors in my buying the NZ90 instead of the T C was the BlueTooth support, which I make use of often over my phone's GPRS connection. I don't use WiFi often, since I really only have access in the office - and I'm normally in front of a computer or two. So the T C doesn't really do what I need. I've wished for something like NetStumbler for the NZ just because it'd make the WiFi card more useful when out and about - and it it'd be just plain cool to WarWalk.;-) -MegaZone, Personal Homepage Eyrie Productions FanFic.

Traffic can be sniffed one of two ways. First, if you're the owner of the AP, you could obviously put a sniffer on your system and watch any and all traffic going through your connection. After all, it is your connection. Even more fun, if you lived in a high traffic area where people might be associating with your AP frequently, with a program like dsniff you could simply collect passwords indefinitely. The other way is through wireless sniffers - although less common, they do exist.
For example, during Comdex this past year a WiFi vendor was lending out free 802.11 cards to attendees so that the attendees could check their email. So, while sitting having my lunch one day I decided to fire up Aeropeek and see what I could find - told it to catch and POP3/SMTP traffic it saw going across the airwaves. In 20 minutes, I had captured several hundred emails. Of course, most were HTML emails. And they had to be read in a packet dump. But it did work. My conclusions?
Never use an unencrypted AP. Us geeks have really boring email. Toomer Security Resources for Windows Admins.
