Another one from the old school, this tool has been around forever since way before wardriving<\/a> was fashionable and when people still used pringles cans for antenna boosting.<\/p>\n It’s a favourite amongst Windows users, although it can’t do any real hacking (like breaking a WEP key<\/a>) – it’s extremely fast and effecient in the detection of open WAPs.<\/p>\n What is NetStumbler?<\/strong><\/p>\n NetStumbler is a tool for Windows that allows you to detect Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) using 802.11b, 802.11a and 802.11g. It has many uses:<\/p>\n General Requirements<\/strong><\/p>\n The requirements for NetStumbler are somewhat complex and depend on hardware, firmware versions, driver versions and operating system. The best way to see if it works on your system is to try it.<\/p>\n Some configurations have been extensively tested and are known to work. These are detailed at http:\/\/www.stumbler.net\/compat<\/a>. If your configuration works but is not listed, or is listed but does not work, please follow the instructions on the web site.<\/p>\n The following are rules of thumb that you can follow in case you cannot reach the web site for some reason.<\/p>\n Firmware Requirements<\/strong><\/p>\n If you have an old WaveLAN\/IEEE card then please note that the WaveLAN firmware (version 4.X and below) does not work with NetStumbler. If your card has this version, you are advised to upgrade to the latest version available from Proxim’s web site. This will also ensure compatibility with the 802.11b standard.<\/p>\n You can download NetStumbler 0.4.0 here:<\/p>\n NetStumblerInstaller_0_4_0.exe<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Or read more here<\/a> (tutorial here<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [ad] Another one from the old school, this tool has been around forever since way before wardriving was fashionable and when people still used pringles cans for antenna boosting.
