It's one of the reasons I see networks I've detected, suddenly appearing in places I never stumbled. Someone else detects a network, which has the same BSSID during AdHoc operation, that the network detected by me had, and during the next update of the Wigle Map, it has suddenly been teleported from Denmark, to Ohio or Australia..

It's WifiWormholes I tell ya.

You might be right.

These were recorded in the same NS file on the same day within 35 minutes of each other.
Because knsgem was projecting the center of the nets in areas where no other nets existed, alerted my attention.

I'm not certain how NS handles a change detected in a networks configuration Ad-Hoc verse Infra-Stru. If the net is first seen as Ad-Hoc and later seen during the same drive as Infra-Stru, does NS update to the new config?

I'll have to see how Wigle triangulated the nets, assuming no one has updated them since. They were uploaded Sep 2005.

It looks as though the C-D points are the infamous HPSETUP I find all the time using the same MACs.

followup...

I checked Wigle using the query interface and it reported the mac "00:00:AA:BB:CC:0D" network with coordinates somewhere in the Nevada/Cal desert using a SSID of "DORA". However I was never able to get Wigle to display an AP marker on the map.

You need Ultra/Magic clearance for that. <subliminal> Area 51 </subliminal>

Things fell into place much faster than I expected.

So here it is KNSGEM 2 beta.

Signal Plots have been added.
One word of caution, they can be huge. Make sure your Google Earth is up to date.
I've tested up to 200k placemarks in a single GE file.

Other highlights ...
1. There's more user options available in the knsgem.cfg file, make sure to check them out.
2. A few of the knsgem files have been renamed, "D" are now "AP", and R are now "H"ull.
3. You might notice that some AP labels appear in RED. This is a flag that the actual coverage radius exceeded the Maxrad set in the knsgem.cfg file. Use the Signal Plot to investigate. I found some pretty interesting things that I'll post later.
4. You can now adjust the height of 3D objects and the scale for AP icons and Signal Icons which are new in this version.
5. With the addition of Signal Plots you can set the limits on 4 user definable signal classes. You may need to adjust to suit your equipment requirements.

Special Note.
The Signal Plots (SP) files when loaded have their own SP marker icons that will over-lay the AP icons. So if it appears that you can't turn off the AP or SP icons its probably because both sets are on at the same time.

Tip on using GE.
I get a lot of people asking if there's a way to break down the Knsgem KML and extract just specific info, the answer is YES.
Once you've loaded all the knsgem files into GE, create a new folder. Then simply right click on the knsgem data your are interested in working with, and then click copy. Next, right click on the new folder and click paste. Once you've copied and pasted all the data you need to the new folder in GE you can now delete the knsgem folders in GE. Now right click your new folder and then click SaveAs giving it a name and then click OK. Your specific data is now contained in the new folder and there's no need to load all the knsgem data the next time you want to review

Have fun!

Scruge · 01-06-2007

I wanted to test how well the 3D plots overlaid the Signal Plots. So I did a little test on a cheapy AP I purchased to handle my wireless IP security cameras. The NS log was taken over a 3-4 day period using a standard USB dongle with toothpick antenna. The survey resulted in over 700 signal readings.
You might notice there is a GPS shift of 15 or so feet to the SW that took place on one of those days.
I was really surprised to discover how far the little POS broadcast it's signal, considering there's a lot of trees.
http://www.rjpi.com/misc/corel023.jpg

btw.. I forgot to mention you'll find a number at the end of each AP's SP folder name. That number represents the total number of signal readings taken for that AP. Once you drill down to the signal placemarks the number represents the signal reading as an absolute value.

Interesting side note..
I've found numerous WISP in my cross country logs. They typically use the same MAC for 5 to 20 miles in areas I've driven. WISP providers here look as though they are using a WiMax backbone which breaks out to WiFi every mile or so. They show up as .5 mile long dashes on 1 mile centers. Normally there is another AP that's being used to fill in the gaps. Just look for another mac in the same series with a large signal data size.

Hmm, Most people with a T1 Connection actually know that it's a T1.

BTW, T1's are slow by today's standard.

But in the movie Hackers they were the 133t haxor connection!!!

T1 is soooo last century.
