I know that the pre amp needs to go next to the antenna. I'm just trying to imagine how this will work with my Comet antenna on a mag mount. The mag mount itself has the coax connected to it; I certainly don't feel comfortable enough soldering to work the preamp into the line and the idea of the pr...

Hello, im new, and have 2(short) questions. I am reading the ebook "Hacking Wireless Networks for Dummies" that is aimed to are ethical hackers. Like you I think. I am setting up Cygwin on my XP Pro laptop. To create the possibility to use all wardrive tools. My questions: - Can I use my ...

I took a ferry ride while stumbling and the ferry had an onboard encrypted AP. The ferry company runs 3 ships over this crossing, and I picked up the AP's on those as we passed along the way. This link has the points in question. http://wigle.net/gps/gps/Map/onlinemap2/?lat1=44.68755157470703&l...

Ok Dutch, fess up, did you score the 12 Millionth point? Or (he said hoping) were you on vacation or something? Restrained by the hamsters with poking sticks(tm)?

I would put money on ccie4526 being the one who got it in the middle of the 78k+ upload he did on Oct. 12th.

I am the member of a 5 person group that performs wardriving quite extensively while on travels for work, etc. I don't directly contribute to wigle, but the data I provide is put into a group file (from everyone) and one of my teammates submits the information to wigle and other sites. In 18 months...

The point of MANY wifi cards is to make sure you can cover as many channels as possible for most of the drive. Channel hopping with a single card can miss things, over the range of channels. I am expecting to have an 11 card rig together by weekend end, which will allow me to cover all channels at ...

No, not with the WhirlWind team. Sorry to bust your bubble on that. I work for a company that received a test version and have enjoyed using it. So, yes, the price can be bad for a regular person. It is priced for commercial interests right now from my understanding. I have a pre-release test versi...

I built a new rig this weekend and have it working pretty smoothly right now... It contains 4 internal miniPCI cards through a PCI-to-miniPCI converter card. Hooked antennas up to each miniPCI card, plus I have hooked up 3 USB sticks for use, as well. <<snip>> The rig I use is much simpler than tha...

Littledave, Thats an interesting setup, you are only using 2 out of the 4 mini pci cards? What fuction are the routers used for? I see they are hooked up to one side of the panels. What is the max resolution of your monitor? WiFido Littledave can correct me if I am wrong... I would say he is using ...

I'm not really in the position to ask why, just to do. You didn't ask why, I asked why. Your answer seems like something you would say if was of questionable legality, if you ask me. Why don't you go to http://netstumbler.org , which actually has to do with NetStumbler. I'm sure they'll be happy to...

I can't do that because I need to keep NS running.

Why? What are you trying to do?

You want to know if you can change a modem with a rj11 jack into a wifi card? Are you serious?

wanted to let folks know that file processing will be off for much of this weekend for some db maintenance. feel free to keep uploading files, they will all get processed afterwards. we apologize for the inconvenience. Hey just curious, but what about the Web Maps? I see the file processing was tur...

I ask this question because we just found out that a company wifi is listed on wigle. So, we are curious if a listing means that a person can simply access it with the info found on wigle, or does a listing simply mean a wifi signal was detected without regard to whether it is usable? If a wifi sig...
