Wireless Sniffer???

viper75

I was wondering if anyone knew of a good wireless sniffer and where I can get it from. My wireless AP at home picks up a another AP in my hood and I want to know what the MAC address is as well as the IP address so I can make an access-list for it to DENY. My wireless at home is secure with 128-bit encryption.

I am able to get on the unknown (linksys) AP signal and surf the web when I take the encryption off my laptop.

I wish I knew who or where this signal is coming from so I can tell them that their home network has no type of security in it and I am able to steal their signal.

Thanks!!!

and if you hook up a GPS device you can see exactly where it is coming from...

Netstumbler is good for finding the networks, SSID, and strength of wireless networks. To sniff them do a search for Airsnort, kismet, and win sniffer.....

You can check here for a list of PDA sniffers I compilied. Thing is ..most are AP finders but its not really gona tell you exactly where it is.

Hehe its got 7600 hits, help bump it up

You have to be careful..There are lots of ways to let this person know he is wide open, but most involve intrusion. You may end up trying to help this guy and he accuse you of hacking or worse.

get a linux pda and use kismet, netstumbler only finds AP's that are broadcasting. Kismet finds them ALL. I have a zaurus sl-5500 that i use and i love the thing.
