Netstumbler does overlook networks because it has to do some probing (exposing itself) and otherwise slows itself down quite a bit, depending on what it's doing and how fast your system is... It also doesn't scan for hidden networks or other probes, clients etc... I switched to Kismet and the scanni...

Will you be supporting the always popular .tar(.gz) archive format?

Okay, so we know how to avoid the problem, but since the results are aggregate, then why would the order of upload (and processing) make such a difference? Does it favor the latest set of data, even if the data is basically invalid, like all channel 0? Perhaps something can be done about that, or if...

I did another run, and uploaded the .gps files first, then the .xml files. Seems everything worked this time, channels and WEP properly identified in JiGLE.

Did you guys change anything, or was it the order that I uploaded them that made the difference?

Looks really good now, very easy to see on the maps I'm using. 8) Sadly (or not) I'm ditching Windoze in favor of Linux, so I don't need DiGLE any more for tracking and stuff, but for those who still are perhaps a crosshair would be useful for determining the current location a little better (especi...

Here are the transactions for the first set I uploaded: 20050604-00009 - Kismet-Jun-04-2005-1.csv 20050604-00010 - Kismet-Jun-04-2005-1.xml 20050604-00011 - Kismet-Jun-04-2005-1.gps 00:0F:66:A7:9A:6D should have WEP on, according to what's in my .xml file, and 00:12:17:BA:2D:9C uses WPA. The channel...

I just got kismet and linux on my laptop and scanned a couple areas over the last couple days, but it seems that they all appear as WEP off networks in JiGLE even though I know a large percent of them have encryption turned on. Is this a bug/thing due to the multiple log files kismet uses, or some o...

802.11b adaptors will detect 802.11g networks, they just can't communicate with them at the higher rates like a g adaptor would. They share the same frequencies (channels) and are backwards compatible so your old gear doesn't become instantly useless. 802.11a networks use another frequency spectrum ...

So, just to clarify (since I just put Linux on my laptop) now that I'm using Kismet I'll be uploading 3 files each time I go for a stumble? First the CSV then XML and GPS in that order? So far (other than forgetting to turn on the GPS option in the kismet config file and re-doing a whole section of ...

Using DiGLE to monitor the streets I've covered while stumbling I've run into a problem where the maps I'm using have red roads and the little hash marks DiGLE uses to mark where I've been are also red. Is there any way to change the color and maybe make some kind of "you are here" dot or ...

Exposure to microwaves can lead to cancer. Unfortunately for us the effects are cumulative, so all the exposure we encounter adds up over our lifetime to produce various biological effects. One thing they discovered recently is that the body will send out these special heat-damage proteins to an are...

I am working on some for the Greater Vancouver Regional District, basic maps that are from the government via www.gpsvisualizer.com/backgrounds and as long as you are Canadian I think you are free to use them, eh? It's also possible to make mappacks with the satellite images, but they end up being V...

What I've found is http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/ and it allows you to upload the netstumbler file and it can plot it on top of various base maps. You can also just choose base maps based on coordinants, so I would assume this is the kind of thing I should be using to create a new pack. edit: yay! go...

I'm quite new to this stuff, and perhaps I'm missing the point of all this, but I've been using Network Stumbler and I uploaded the file I've been saving when I scan for networks... Now I'd assume this is for integration with the other global data that's been collected, and that this data would be a...
