I haven't taken the time to learn how to develop unmanaged code that may be able to do more powerful things than what i've done, yet - but I'm looking into this now.

Is there anybody out there who has experience developing applications for the Pocket PC with Microsoft's emmbedded Visual C++ who would be interested in working with me to develop a packet capture application for the Pocket PC? I believe this would be useful for a number of reasons:

- It would allow technicians who carry a laptop and a pocket PC device to use the device as a third party packing sniffer, without needing to get another machine involved.

- It would open the door for other WAN analysis applications to be developed for the pocket PC, such as packet injectors and wep cracking applications.

- It would be a fun and challenging project for me that I'd be willing to put some time into.

I'm looking for people who have experience hacking drivers (not nesissaraly on the pocket PC) as well as people who have experience with the strange world of 'device' operating systems to offer some advice.

Another reason why I'd like to see this is that they finally have dual pocket PC devices that have both 802.11b/g cards, but also Cellular interfaces. This would allow for some pretty nice 3rd party proactive monitoring for attacks; with alerts sent out on a completely different network (Cellular provider) notifying administrators of potential intruders.
