monitoring laptops from my pc

chaotik · 10-06-2004

Hey i just put a wireless LAN in my house. Im wonering if i can use netstubmler from my pc which doesnt have a wirless card, but is wired to the wireless router. What i want to do is monitor laptops that come into my range, especailyl ones trying to conenct to me. I have this annoying neighbor who thinks hes some crazy hacker and im sure one of these days hell sit outside and try go get into my files. Im not actually worried about it but i just want to know when its happening so i can go out and find him in the bushes. Is there a way for me to do this? i don t think netstumbler can but if not - what other app could i use? thanks in advance.

Nope on NS. Try AirSnare.

Unless he is running NS on a non-windows box (I doubt it) then I would assume he is.

AirSnare is case sensitive when entering the "Friendly MAC's" and don't forget to add the MAC's within the AP.
