Netstumbler 0.4.0 Released

http://www.stumbler.net

Version 0.4.0 (April 21, 2004)

* Fixed bug (introduced in 0.3.30) that caused "Reconfigure" to put ORiNOCO cards into a state where they would report no access points.
* Support for Atheros, Atmel, Intersil Prism2 based wireless cards. Improved support for Cisco cards.
* Allow use of Serial Earthmate GPS. (USB Earthmate should already work using NMEA and serial driver)
* If you scroll all the way to the right of the graph view, it will auto-scroll new data.
* Fixed bug (introduced in 0.3.30) in graph view: corrupted display when scrolling.
* Fixed bug in graph view: improper scroll bar tracking with large data sets.
* If "Reconfigure" is on, the Windows XP Wireless Zero Configuration service will be stopped when you start scanning. It is restarted when the application exits.
* If you connect to a network that supports DHCP, the IP subnet is reported.
* If the access point is discovered in the ARP table, its IP address is reported.
* While you are scanning, the system will be prevented from going into standby unless power is critically low.
* Large files load several times faster than before (though the really large ones still don't load fast enough).
* A whole lot of new Scripting features.

Have you tried the new version, isn't netgear Prism2, which v0.4 supports.

 

[Modeps]

Sweet, I'll definatley try this out. A guy I know from college write Kismet, but I dont have a linux laptop so I could never try it out.... and Netstumbler didnt work well with my wireless card.

How is this different from "Find Wireless Network" option that came with the cisco card?

Netstumbler doesn't connect to the other wireless network, it only more or less asks if a network is on this channel. Repeating throught the different channels. Once it gets reply back it stores the information, the channel, wireless name, signal strength and if hooked up to a gps, the geocoordinates.

 

[LordSnailz]

Once you have the channel info, wireless name, you try to connect but there's not guarantee that once it's found something that I can logon right?

Correct, Netstumber is more of a mapping type tool. Alot of itwas to see who had locked down their network, by using WEP.


Over at netstumbler.com it's considered back to connect to a network you don't have permission to connect to.

Netstumbler really blows. You should try Kismet and see the better features

Kismet >>>>> Netstumbler

In Kismet you can actually view if there are Netstumbler users nearby and they won't even have a clue you are in the area Plus you can see cloaked networks in Kismet and its totally silent/undetectable.

Go on...load up some intrusion detection ware and watch what happens when someone busts out Netstumbler on you.

With Kismet it won't be noticed at all

Anyone have experience with Truemobile 1300 cards? Netstumbler detects it fine, but if I'm near a network it dies almost instantly when started.

Then don't? Boot off a knoppix-std CD that has all the security tools you will need. Then when you want to leave Lunix and go back to Windows just reboot without booting from the CD-ROM drive? :beer:
