wardriving isn't routing packets over people's connections. its passively observing broadcast radio beacons, and correlating with gps data. no responsible wardriver associates with the APs they observe. Quoted (in entirety) for truth. Wardriving sounds evil but it's really just passive location of ...

First, let me say that it's really hard for us to stand around and scream "wardriving is not a crime!" while people like you are asking how to hax0r their neighbor's WiFi. Second, unless the owner goes on a YouTube or Torrent binge for a few hours, you're going to be waiting a very, very, ...

I've had a Jornada 680 (WinCE 2.11/HPC Pro) for about a year. Yesterday I found a great deal on a J720 with CE 3.0/HPC 2000 and ministumbler works great with my serial GPS. I'll post pics later. I'm making this post from it right now. My 680 works fine for surfing but ministumbler wouldn't work in i...

I'd never wardrive late at night. If you plan your route well, you won't ever drive past the same place more than twice, and that's only if you need to drive a cul-de-sac or dead-end. A properly planned route should allow you one pass through the neighborhood. If you aren't driving past the same hou...

The new verctor I bought (which is working OKAY not great, more on that later) has SST, and the digital volt/watt meter. When they smoke, it's not because of the load. It's because something inside failed. in my case it was one of the 120V wires shorting to the heatsink. I've also had a few inverter...

Well, that's some good news. H1kari's still alive. my changes might make it into the officially distributed BAT source.

I finally found the elusive source-code for BSD-Airtools 0.3 (Dated 2002/2003ish)?!? Anyhow, h1kari's wnet tools for reinjection and whatnot were included, but the kernel patches were woefully out of date, and the include files had changed a bit since OpenBSD 3.3 when BAT-0.3 was originally released...

I am just getting back into the sport of wardriving now that I have some more free time. No more pizza delivery, which is part of why i've been away for so long. Anyhow the trusty Pentium 90 just got blown away with a clean install of OpenBSD 3.9 and I recall needing a patch to make dstumbler return...

FYI, if you're looking to do some Wireless security/optimization stuff, definitely look me up. I was about this close: || to starting my own info-sec company. The only reason I did not is because I lack a lot of the business knowledge and couldn't afford to go it alone. That said, I have several sam...

it looks like I might be having the weekends a little more open with my new job. You might try coming out to the 2600 meetings in Overland Park. They happen the first friday of the month at around 6pm at the Oak Park Mall food court. Look for geeks with laptops

My G122 works great in OpenBSD... for wireless access (uses the ural driver) The problem you'll encounter with scanning software is that most of it communicates directly to the adapter and does not use the kernel driver. So, just because the OS can see the device, does not mean that your stumbling s...

NEC Versa 4050. Bought a brand new OEM NEC battery for it less than a year ago, it's maybe been run down to 25% 5 times since I bought it. Runs OpenBSD great, I used BSD-Airtools with it, and this lappy's where a good 90% of my WiGLE points came from. I've saturated the area near my home, and Wednes...

Welcome aboard. I 'drove some of the bigger roads through Lansing and Leavenworth when a friend of mine lived up there. For the most part though, it looks like the whole area is ripe for the picking down the side streets. You should try to make it out to the 2600 meetings. That's where a lot of the ...

ST. PETERSBURG, Florida (AP) -- Police have arrested a man for using someone else's wireless Internet network in one of the first criminal cases involving this fairly common practice. Benjamin Smith III, 41, faces a pretrial hearing this month following his April arrest on charges of unauthorized a...

Well, I can answer that. Technically, it "averages" the coords. So if you get GPS data that's wrong (like when dstumbler unpatched uses the wrong GPS data format) and more people upload the correct data, the AP node will gradually move on the map closer to it's real location. Or that's how...
