Default Gifts to the Wirelessly Secure

http://airscanner.com/downloads/sniffer/sniffer.html

Wireless networks are becoming more and more popular. Many of us even have our own at home! Are you secure? If you are or if you are not, I am giving away five copies (thanks to the publisher!) of the recently published book "Maximum Wireless Security" written by Dr. Cyrus Peikari and Seth Fogie, a former United States Navy Nuclear Engineer. Both authors can be found at Airscanner. I have had some contacts with Dr. Cyrus Peikari regarding their password sniffing software Airscanner Mobile Sniffer and their new book.

Some of the features include:
� Sniff wireless packets in promiscuous mode
� Decode UDP, TCP, Ethernet, DNS, and NetBios packets
� Conduct network analysis on an entire WLAN segment
� Customize filters for source and/or destination IP Address, UDP Port, TCP Port, or MAC
� View real-time packet statistics
� Save results of capture sessions
� Export data to Ethereal format for further analysis on a desktop PC

So, the deal is the following: download Airscanner Mobile Sniffer and check it out. Then return and tell us what you think about it and why. I will, as the sole judge, pick the five best contributions, i.e. replies to this post, and arrange for shipping of the book.

well maybe then you should RTFM and learn how to use the products you buy. If a user can not set seomthing up properly it is there own fault not the people that provide software for legal use and others want to use it illegally. Get a grip and if you don't like it then go help those people out who dont know how to set up there APs properly then make some lil prissy gripping comment on a product that can be used for good things...


User opens box to AP sees thick booklet falls to ground kicks it under the sofa and then sets up there AP. Not my fault they can not RTFM...

The ability to decode packets (including DNS & NetBIOS) while filtering, then saving to a file for later examination of real-time info is absolutely required for me, and true promiscuous mode sniffing makes this product perfect! As a coder, I use sniffers and this is the first PPC hosted one I've used. And now a "Free for home" product I can use to check the work I bring home 8O

Good Job!

I've used this software for couple of days now, and while it's great there's one caveat: the sound option should be disabled by default as it drives me nuts.

Otherwise, a really nice sniffer even though it seems to struggle a bit with one of my Cisco 342's.

I'd LOVE to use this software, but unfortunately, this looks like yet another product that only supports the Prism chipset - those of use with Socket/Symbol cards are still left with no solution... :mecry:

Hmm I have a 5455 and you seem to be getting farther than me. I get an error " Windows CE failed to load the packet capure driver" What are you doing?

Have the newest Rom 1.10 and the WLAN update loaded.

Unable to test it out but sure would like to, current owner of an iPAQ 5455 so if and when they have a beta I'd like to give a try for them. Do I get to be in the running for the book? Please!
