WarWalker: Handheld WiFi Surfing Resource

[Janak Parekh]

<div class='os_post_top_link'><a href='http://www.warwalker.com/' target='_blank'>http://www.warwalker.com/</a><br /><br /></div>Here's a promising site with a cool name.<br /><br />"According to blackwave at <a href="www.wardrivingisnotacrime.com:">www.wardrivingisnotacrime.com:</a> 'WarDriving v. The benign act of locating and logging wireless access points while in motion. - blackwave' Therefore, I say: 'WarWalking v. The benign act of locating and logging wireless access points while walking, using a handheld device.'"<br /><br />It looks like Mike is going to be building up resources on how to legitimately use public/open access points. If you're an active WiFi user, or just someone interested in being one, you might want to take a look. I do note that he isn't talking about cracking WEP-encrypted networks.

Greetings,

... all this talk of blackwave! :oops:

One thing that I find is lacking are slick warwalking pocketpc themes... Here are my attempts, I encourage any other warwalker out there to create more :)

blackwave's pocketpc themes :)

What I don't have is a warwalking/wardriving program for my Pocket PC. The software that came with my Symbol Spectrum 24 Wireless Networker CF card isn't well suited to this. Any suggestions?

PocketWarrior (http://www.pocketwarrior.org) is probably your best bet. Net Stumbler (http://www.netstumbler.com/) may work as well, but iirc Symbol cards use Prism chipsets which do not weork with MiniStumbler.

Thanks.

I went to the PocketWarrior site and there are a bunch of files listed on the download page. Which one(s) do I download? I don't know how to tell.

Thanks again!

Go with the first zip file listed.

The files that are named pocketwarrior-src-xxxxxxxx.zip are the source files for each pocketwarrior-xxxxxxxx.zip release. You probably don't want the source files unless you want to do some coding on it yourself :). The newest version is at the top.

Ok, this may be a little off subject but, how the heck to you tell if you are connected to a wireless network when using the ipaq? I have a 3955 and will be using a linksys wcf12 card. I also have access to the new 5455 and some wireless equipped laptops. I was able to get the laptops to network together and each one recognized the other as a wireless connection but for the life of me, I could not figure out how to get the ipaq to recognize the network was present. And how would you map a drive or folder on the network anyway? Am I the only one that is frustrated by the documentation for the handhelds? :cry: :?:

Thanks

Hmm...it says it couldn't find a compatible device and I can't get it to recognize my Symbol card. Maybe it doesn't support the Symbol.
