Any PERL scripts?

nashr · 09-19-2002

Has anyone tried to write a PERL script for NS yet? I want to take a shot at this, but was hoping someone had laid the groundwork.

Probably not what you're looking for, but I've got an almost finished Perl script that takes the NS Summary and pulls out all the information into a comma delimeted file for importing into Excel which then can be imported into your favorite mapping software.

It pulls the Lat/Long, Locked/unlocked, Manufacturer, date, time, SSID, etc. It also creates a delimted file for importing to Excel for a pie chart of manufacturers as well as a pie chart for locked/unlocked, AND does a bar graph for total number of AP's for each manufacturer.

You can run the script on all your summaries over and over and it will remove the oldest MAC from the list and it's info. It's kinda nice for importing into other mapping software since most programs are centered around Map Point. I use Delorme 2003 and MS Streets & Trips, so nothing really worked for me. I also wanted more info then the map point converter here would provide me.

If you or anyone is interested, I'll ask the person who wrote it for me if I can post the script.

That's the beauty about putting it into a spreadsheat. From there, you can import into just about any program by straight import or saving to a CSV.

I am using Delorme Street Atlas 2003 and MS Streets & Trips 2002. bot work great. If you look at my website posted above on the 80211 stuff, the maps were made using Streets & Trips.

If you double click on any of the pushpins, you get all the info on that AP, like SSID, locked or unlocked, etc.

I'll ask the guy later this morning when he comes into work about posting it up here.

Please do post this script. It sounds like a great start on what I have in mind.

Ok, got permission to post it. So, here's the link:

http://theswampbbs.com/80211/perlexport.zip

In it has a readme.txt that explains pretty much everything about it. It's late and I'm tired, so there my be typo's in it. My email address is in the readme if you have any questions, or you can hit the email link on the main website above.

Hope this helps ya.

Using Windows ActiveState's Perl v5.6.1 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread ( http://www.ActiveState.com ) the usage is as follows:

netstumble.pl filename.summary

this will silently generate the following files:

vendrgrph.txt
apfile.txt
lockgrph.txt
netstumble.log

This script has been tested and is functional "as is" under Windows XP.

Thanks for the post swampy
